An Idol Scorned
Spooky season (at least per Disneyland Resort scheduling) also means I'll post "spooky themed" photos from other Disney parks. So today, we head over to Tokyo Disney Sea and their version of Tower of Terror, which features supernatural vengeance from a besmirched idol stolen by an infamous artifact plunderer. That's the backstory of Harrison Hightower, owner of Hotel Hightower, and the circumstances of his mysterious disappearance one fateful night. Infamous to stealing relics and local treasures, he bit off more than he could chew after absconding with a statue of Shiriki Utundu, which happened to contain the malevolent spirit. Karma came calling one evening when Shiriki's idol came to life and transported Hightower to a different dimension. As a result, his hotel closed down, and no one has ever gone back... except for riders waiting for the next elevator ride up!
