csm Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 Awwww.... That was my first 1st Gen Freefall!!!! Mine too. Glad to see it gone!
TheArchfiend Posted December 8, 2006 Posted December 8, 2006 I don't know how many of you out there got to ride this drop tower regularly over the past years but trust me when I say this ride was beat up. I like rough rides and all but this past year Free Fall was borderline serious injury inducing shape compared to the much tollerable condition it was once in. This ride had to go in my opinion. I wonder what Great Adventure is going to do with all those way outdated movie stunt pictures/signs that were in the que to Free Fall? (checking Ebay.... now)
GMAN962 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Oh gosh......I MUST get on Freefall at SFMM! I have to get on a 1st generation Intamin drop tower! Good thing I'm conveniently close! It's sad that so many are going down, hopefully SFMM doesn't plan on taking down theirs any time soon...and it better be running next time I go! ~Mike
Xtreme-me Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 well, rumors say that its going to be sold, but why did they fix it up and Reopen it? i went on it during Fright fest. I have to say, its fun and the air from the open floor is cool. However, if your tall (above 6 ft.) it can really hurt your shoulder blades. I wouldnt rate it really high in my list of drop rides, but then again, i really like supreme scream
Satoshi Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 oh please don't tear 1st gen Intamin Freefall down cuz maybe it's Elissa's 1st intamin ride! i love Freefall!
AllenA07 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I think losing the 1st gen Freefalls is a shame. It remains one of the only rids I've ever been on that has really scared me. Something about it just seem so much more dangerous than a modern tower ride. I'm curious to see when SFMM loses theirs. It's packed in there pretty tight with attractions, so one would assume the ride will be gone by the new season. However I don't know, this is SFMM so more than likely they'll just shut down the southern half of the park for a few months and claim it's in rehab.
Andrew643 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 I loved riding Freefall whenever I was at the park. I will really miss it.
GADVFREAK99 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Now what are they going to put their to replace it.
larrygator Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 I rode it this year when I saw it open one visit, knowing it would be gone soon. I didn't find it painful, although it was real loud. It was the first time I had ridden it in at least ten years. I remember waiting over 2 hours for Stuntman's Freefall when it opened.
TheArchfiend Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Now what are they going to put their to replace it. My money is on a brand new drop tower and probably a world record breaker at that. Either that or some new $3.50 soda machines would be great! I hope it's the soda machines.
GMAN962 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Mabye they'll put on aquatrax in there. But seriously...I hope it's the soda machines, as I am not a big fan of drop towers.
AllenA07 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Maybe they'll finally install Bench: The Ride... Now I'll be left to wonder if any of you remember Bench: The Ride.
Tiburon503 Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 I believe Wiggles World will be filling the void. That's my opinion. SF announced this as a fourth children's area, so we know Looney Tunes Seaport is safe.
