coaster_shorty Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Post a picture of your favorite drop ride and some details of it!!!! HAVE FUN!!!!! Mine would have to be Drop Zone at PKI
DerangedChild Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 ^ Thanks Robb... Now I'm officially jealous... >.> My favorite drop ride (That I have been on) would have to be Florida's ToT.
Angry_Gumball Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 My collapsing bunkbed owns all drop rides!!! J/k...The only drop ride I've ridden (and almost died on) was Dropzone @ PGA. I'm anxious to try out Nor Cal's first ever S&S tower @ the boardwalk and am hoping it wont be too tame due to height and bird enthusiests.
disneygurlz2s Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I am going to have to vote with Justin on that one, ToT, Florida. However, despite my inital fear...I was left holding the "parent swap" pass at Cedar Point when the rest of the family chose the "going up" side of Power Tower. When my turn came I was basically petrified and kept asking if I couldn't just hop over the drop side, but I was glad I didn't. Getting blasted up the side of that tower, and at night with all the lights, was pretty cool! Shari

Hattuchili Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 My favorite one is Scream - Heide Park Soltau. - Scream - Heide Park Soltau - highest Gyro Drop Tower worlwide (110 meter)
Sir Clinksalot Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 That I have been on: Superman Tower of Power at Six Flags over Texas But I think I will like: This bad boy better when I ride it in April. Gregg "Photo's courtesy of Theme Park Review" C.
robbalvey Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 ^^ Does it count if I've ridden Scream when it was an observation tower? :mrgreen: --Robb "Who is REALLY looking forward to that!" Alvey
ArcovandenBroek Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Scream @ Heidepark Soltau!! :shock: Great theming, great music, great speed, great tower, great drop!!
robbalvey Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 ^ OMFG!!!! I hope when Elissa she's that photo she'll say "Screw leaving Heide early and going to Fort Fun....we're riding THAT some more!!!"
JPMatt Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 This one is Awesome at Dreamworld on the Gold Coast in QLD Australia. I live here.....been on it lots of times. It's the tallest free fall ride in the world... http://dreamworld.com.au/dw/dreamweb.nsf
ArcovandenBroek Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 ^ OMFG!!!! I hope when Elissa she's that photo she'll say "Screw leaving Heide early and going to Fort Fun....we're riding THAT some more!!!" It's a kiddie tower!!
CoasterCrazy Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Acro is my favorite drop ride that I have been on. I have been on it over 150 times.
OzErik Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 Giant Drop at Dreamworld in Australia is an awesome ride, and very tall. But I am afraid to see I still think Tower of Terror at Disneyworld is my favorite drop ride. Now, although not technically a drop ride, I do have a soft spot for "The Big Shot" at the Stratosphere. And I still remember going on the Supreme Scream in 1998 for the first time and getting cramps in my forearms cause I was holding on so tight! LOL
coasters 4 me Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 My favourite drop ride has got to be the TOT. I love the theming in the queue area. And its quite creepy at night, which i really like!
Hattuchili Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 ^^ Does it count if I've ridden Scream when it was an observation tower? :mrgreen: --Robb "Who is REALLY looking forward to that!" Alvey Yes Robb, the last time you visited Heide Park, Scream was an observation tower? But now it is the highest Giro Drop Tower (110 meter) worldwide. I like the tower so much, and I think Elissa will like it, too. --Soeren
SharkTums Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I did always think it was kind of odd how that park had 2 of everything! Two observation towers, Two...damn, I do'nt even remember now, but I remember they had multiples of rides! Elissa "hopefully will be there 24 June!" Alvey
Hattuchili Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I did always think it was kind of odd how that park had 2 of everything! Two observation towers, Two...damn, I do'nt even remember now, but I remember they had multiples of rides! Yea, I know they had a lot of attractions 2 times or more in the park. But they had changed some attractions, like the two observation towers (now one of them is Scream, hell yeah) and that is what I like. Elissa "hopefully will be there 24 June!" Alvey Then I will be there. 8) --Soeren
Meteornotes Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 The tower at Martin's Fantasy Island. If, of course, the topic is "your favorite drop ride to cause spinal damage!" My favorite is probably ToT, or the drop at PKI. Dave "that one at Heide looks like it will be fun!" Thomas
CoasterCanada Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Theres a drop ride at Marineland Canada ( Niagara Falls ) http://www.marinelandcanada.com called the Sky Screamer that I went on last year. I think its over 350/feet tall. Out of all the drop rides I have been on the Sky Screamer ride is my fav. 8)
SharkTums Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I think it was 350feet from the bottom of the hill...the actual S&S towers are much shorter. Elissa "glad to hear it finally opened!" Alvey
CoasterCanada Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I found out on the Marineland website that the Sky Screamer is a 350/foot tall drop and blaster with three towers stuck on a 100/foot man made mountain. That Dragon Mountain coaster stuck on that other man made mountain was at one time the tallest & longest coaster back in the late 80's. It has a 186/foot lift hill with four loops and three tunnels. I just wish they would build more coasters at that theme park.
