I hate posts like this. Oh, gee, sorry it took them "long enough"...
Here's a thought... maybe it took so long because some of those original plans and rumors make it look like they were going to build another "Mach Tower", and when all the issues with that ride happened, they actually went back to the drawing board, looked at some of the other drop tower options, and came back with what looks like it could be the best drop tower in the world.
Personally, I'd rather wait LONGER for them to put in something that is going to KICK ALL SORTS OF A$$, than to have seen the park rush into making another mistake.
Who's with me on that?
100% with you. So thankful this happened the way it did, since the park will now have one of the best non-coaster rides on the planet, and this ride will get them a billion times more attention and press than another Mach Tower would have. I can't wait to ride this thing!
