Has anyone on here been to Hollywood Studios at Disney World? If you go on the Tower of Terror rIde they have a couple of large Coal Furnaces in the Makeshift Basement of the Tower of Terror Hotel. There is even large carts of stove coal. It is pretty realistic. I tapped on the Cylinder on one of the boilers and it seemed like it was made out of metal. They don't skimp at all on their props. I couldn't tell if the coal was real though. I thought it was pretty cool and was wondering if they were actual used boiler/furnaces that were donated/bought or if they actually made props out of fiberglass or whatever.If these are real does anyone know what brand of furnace these are? They are pretty big.

I saw these too. I checked as close as possible (without being ejected from the park) and think that they are authentic. They probably searched the world to find those in a scrap yard somewhere. The coal looked like anthracite, but I'm not 100% sure.
