Changes: Cartoonival Tower

Revision as of 23:18, 2 October 2017

The ToonFest Tower is a large tower of silliness centered around the ToonFest grounds. By throwing pies at a Cog dummy, Toons can speed up, slow down, and reverse the direction of the platforms around the tower.

Design

At the bottom are four rotating disks composed of a merry-go-round colored yellow, blue, and red with each getting smaller. Each platform spins the opposite direction of the one larger than it. At the center of the four platforms in a blue and red cupcake, with a pillow stuck out of the top. On top of the pillow is a blue hat-like object with four party streamers connected to it. Out of the hat is a stem which connects to the ToonFest logo and the platform where Toons will watch the fireworks. Atop the viewing platform is a party hat connected by two gloves.

The tower returned for ToonFest 2015 with a different design of a larger blue and red cupcake consisting of four locked doors, and giant ToonFest tokens placed on top replacing the pillow. Starting with the 2015 event onwards, Toons may visit the Token Takers from within the tower to purchase all sorts of special limited-time clothing and accessories by using tokens.

Trivia

In ToonFest 2014, the ToonFest Tower had no purpose other than the ToonFest hot air balloon manned by Alec Tinn where Toons could ride to the top of the tower.
According to Slate in one of her YouTube livestreams, the ToonFest Tower from ToonFest 2014 was made by all three texture artists.^[1] The bottom to the rectangular yellow part with the blue stars was made by Slate. The round part with bands around it was made by Boo Boo, and the blue 3D star to the top was made by June.
Garfieldo designed the full model for the tower.
When ToonFest reopened as "Barbecue Headquarters" during April Toons Week in 2017, the ToonFest Tower was affected by gravitational anomalies.
Once the Token Takers stand was opened in 2015, Toons could launch themselves into the tower using cannons. The floor could be used to bounce, just like the spinning rings that surround the tower, and Toons could pass through the inner walls and exit the building as if the walls did not exist.
A scrapped idea for the ToonFest Tower was a jumping animation, as shown in a video from Slate.^[2]

-The '''ToonFest Tower''' is the tower of silliness for ToonFest hosted every year. By defeating [[Cogs|Cog]] dummies with [[Flippy]]'s pies, [[Toons]] can speed up, slow down, and reverse the direction of the platforms around the tower.
-==Appearances==
-In [[ToonFest 2014]], the ToonFest Tower makes its appearance for the very first time. [[Alec Tinn]] conducted the [[ToonFest Hot Air Balloon]] that allowed Toons to ride to the top of the tower's platform and view the fireworks.
-During [[April Toons Week]] in 2015, the ToonFest Tower returns once again the same way it looked in 2014 renamed as "BBQ Tower" in [[Barbecue Headquarters]] as a prank pulled by the [[Toontown Rewritten Team]].
-Starting with [[ToonFest 2015]] onwards, the ToonFest Tower returns with a brand new model that is much larger.
-In [[ToonFest 2017]], the ToonFest logo was replaced with the new logo that debuted the same year.
 ==Design==
-At the bottom are four rotating disks similar to the merry-go-round that used to be in [[Minnie's Melodyland]] (in ''Toontown Online'' Beta) colored yellow, blue, and red with each getting smaller. Each platform spins the opposite direction of the one larger than it. At the center of the four platforms in a blue and red cupcake, with a pillow stuck out of the top. On top of the pillow is a blue hat-like object with four party streamers connected to it. Out of the hat is a stem which connects to the [[ToonFest 2014]] logo and the platform where Toons will watch the fireworks. Atop the viewing platform is a party hat connected by two gloves.

The rest is the same as ToonFest 2014, minus the ToonFest logo lacking the "2014" for obvious reasons. As the event went on, a shop with [[Token Takers]] was opened inside, allowing Toons to deposit their [[ToonFest Tokens]] and receive special limited edition items in exchange.
