Virtual Tower of Terror in Half-life

Someone built a virtual version of the Disney-MGM Studios Tower of Terror attraction in the popular Half-Life 2 game. Did a really good job too. The video walk-through is a little humorous for other reasons, but if this keeps up you won’t need to visit Orlando to visit Walt Disney World.

Here’s a similar vid of the same mod that may be a little less nauseas inducing. (Thanks to Matt!)

Ha! Very impressive re-creation. I actually laughed aloud a few times during the video because it was so well done.

Very clever. I could feel myself being thrown about in the lift - only this time it was better cos there were no stupid people screaming and no massive queues to get in. Nicely Done.

NIPPER actually made an arguably better Tower of Terror map for Counter-Strike, a much more popular online game.

There’s one slight inaccuracy:

There’s no long-as-hell line! LOL

They have already made this map for Counter-Strike 1.6, so this is just a remake. Of course it is better than the original, but thats because the Source engine has more sophisticated commands that can be run.

You can’t imagine the level of detail that’s gone into this, everything from the queue lines..there’s a few more drops in the real one, and the elevator moves through some others things first..but basically spot on.

this is a nice map, but doesn’t depict the actual ride in as much detail and accuracy as the one by NIPPER for counter-strike and counter-strike source
