This first picture signifies one of the most interesting facts I've learned about Disney's MGM Studios while working there so far. As guests enter the park they see this tall pole with Mickey Mouse standing on the world on top. Underneath the pole is a small gift shop called the Crossroads. Most guests think this is just a landmark and architecture for them to look at while they enter the park. This is acutally a lightning rod as Orlando, Florida is the lightning capital of the country. Once again a hidden secret kept by Disney in diguising everyday necessities with authentic items from the park.
This second picture may look like the typical Tower of Terror attraction in Disney's MGM Studios. The height of the tower is acutally very significant. They refer to the tower as "one foot under the red light." In other words, in Orlando 200 ft. on a building is the limit for an airplane light to warn airplanes of tall buildings. The Tower of Terror is 199 ft. (one foot under the limit) which was done purposely to avoid having to use an airplane light and destroying the authenticity of the park.
