1:09 "We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard, because in tonight's episode, *YOU* are the star."
Always sends a chill down my spine.

That Rod Serling impression is really spot on

[vergolophus]

It was so great to notice that whenever lightning flashed in the video, lightning flashed outside the window of the pre-show room. Such a wonderful touch!

That transition from his actual voice and intro and into the voice actors is so flawless and smooth

Who else noticed the little girl singing "It's raining... it's pouring"?

This will always be my favorite pre-show.

1:09 - 1:15 That was a footage of a background of Rod Serling from Season 3 - Episode 8 - "It's a Good Life".

As someone who grew up watching old Twilight Zone episodes, this introduction still sends shivers down my spine. Awesome intro to the ride. Loved everything about the ride.

Okay so.... The guy doing Rod Serling is actually an actor who actually could do the impression of him. Went well. Looked like an actual episode. :D Too bad the real black and white episode of this didn't happen (yet) It would look great.

This is such a perfect homage to the og Twilight Zone. It's a shame Disney went for the totally-gonna-age-well Guardians ride.

2009: You've just crossed over into The Twilight Zone

2019: IIII'MMMM HOOKED ON A

[LezbeOswald]

if anyone's curious, 1:09-1:15 is actually ripped directly from season 3 episode 8 "It's a Good Life." in the original monologue, Serling is in a generic room, and he's pointing to a map of the United States. naturally, all of the other lines in this pre-show are done by a voice actor doing a Rod Serling impersonation, but i find it fascinating that they ended up reusing an actual clip from the show and changing it slightly. though, showing Rod Serling in the pre-show does add to the idea that we're actually in an og Twilight Zone episode.
the thirty second intro is also the intro for season four, which, despite being the most iconic intro for the whole series, was arguably the intro for the most obscure season, as it initially aired at a different time slot and all the episodes were twice in length, making it less popular than the other seasons.

"You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into . . . The Twilight Zone."

"Hollywood, 1939. Amidst the glitz and the glitter of a bustling young movie talent at the height of its golden age, the Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right. A beacon for the show business elite. Now, something is about to happen that will change all that."

"The time is now, on an evening very much like the one we have just witnessed. Tonight's story on The Twilight Zone is somewhat unique and calls for a different kind of introduction. This, as you may recognize, is a maintenance service elevator, still in operation, waiting for you. We invite you, if you dare, to step aboard because in tonight's episode you are the star. And this elevator travels directly to . . . The Twilight Zone."

We invite you if you dare to step aboard because in tonight's episode, you are the star, and this elevator travels directly to... The Twilight Zone.

Only time i watched this while not about to crap myself

[bsmoove]

I remember the first time riding this with my dad. When 0:56 hit I asked my dad if that was going to happen to us. He and a few other people next to me just laughed. I was only like 9 or 10 at the time so I didn't know any better lol.

[FarfallaDellaLuna]

Oh this is just I'm totally obsessed with this ride!!! Gorgeous building, scenery, architecture, etc! This video is sooo cool too! Very clear as well! I'm surprised the bellhops let you have such an archive ❤️😉

You can't say you're a Disney World fan if you don't have this memorized.
