adz823 Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Detonator at Thorpe Park for me. May not be the tallest, but certainly delivers a punch.
ECZenith Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 WDW's Tower Of Terror of course... Â Here's a pic I took.
Xtreme-me Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 I would have to say this is my list from first to last  -Supreme Scream -Tower of Terror (DCA) -Freefall (SFMM) -Maliboomer
Timpowes Posted February 10, 2007 Posted February 10, 2007 Mine's the same as viking86, Fritt Fall Tilt (Except for the Tilt, I have yet to ride it). 260 feet/80 metres tall. (Taken from Wikipedia).
Nodders Posted February 12, 2007 Posted February 12, 2007 Difficult choice, Drop Zone at PKI comes a very close runner-up but I'll have to settle for a joint-first of Heide Park's Scream & Phantasialand's Mystery Castle.
WildMouse Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Detonator (Thorpe Park) gets my vote. Great views at the top, excellent soundtrack (complete with nerve enducing countdown) and powerful drop back down to earth. Love it!
verticalzero Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 I have only been on 3 Drop towers: I tend to avoid them. Â Detonator at Thorpe Park, the ex-troc (london) drop tower which lives at Funland - Hayling Island and Bounce at Oakwood. Â I find the drop tower at Hayling Island worse than Detonator. I always come off white and shaking.
PKI Jizzman Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 Been on: -Tower of Terror (WDW) -Power Tower: Space Shot -Power Tower: Turbo Drop -Drop Zone (KI) -Drop Zone (Carowinds) -Scream Machine (Cinci. Coney Island) Â Â Best- 1. Tower Of Terror 2. Drop Zone (KI) 3. Drop Zone (Carowinds) 4. Space Shot 5. Turbo Drop 6. Scream Machine
ebtkid Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 The ones I have been on:  Wildcatter - Intamin @ over Texas Superman: Tower of Power - S&S @ over Texas Taz's New York Adventure - SBF Visa @ over Texas Tower of Doom - Intamin @ Elitch Gardens  Order of Favorites  Wildcatter Tower of Doom Taz's New York Adventure Superman: Tower of Power
apollo210 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I just looked through the photos and saw I didn't post so I guess its time to post... Â Â 1) StarBlaster- S&S- Canobie Lake Park. Well since it is a tower, I will count it. I loved this ride! The launch was intense and the airtime was insane! By far, the best tower ride I have ridden even though it is a mere 80 ft! Â 2) Drop Zone- ARM Small Model?- Palace Playland. The only "true" drop tower I have ridden, I liked it alot. It was very small, only about 50ft tall, but it had a lot of sudden drops and pops of airtime! Another good tower ride! Â 3) Freefall- Huss (YES HUSS!)- Funderland Fair, Dublin. I was in Ireland and I asked my cousin to take me there. Sadly, we was a wimp so he didn't ride with me. Anyways, despite the name, it hardly freefalled. I love all tower rides and I loved this one as well, but it hardly did anything. It went up 140ft and gave a good view, but it had no airtime or forces. Like other Huss Towers (From Reviews), this one felt controlled and had a boring 5 minute cycle. 1. The Awesome StarBlaster!
kaliboiryda510 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Well i still have a knack for the 1st gen intamin drops!!! There is something about the roughness that keeps me riding! Â A little off topic, but does anyone know of a website that is a database for flatrides along the lines of RCDB? I have always tried to find one but with no luck.
Menghini Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 My favorite one is Scream - Heide Park Soltau. Â Yep, definately the best drop tower i've been on! Although the "stand-up" drop tower at Drayton Manor (Apocalyps) is also very good!
Peejay Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Big Shot at Stratosphere was pretty scary. But it is not so much the ride than the location where it is built on. Â So I would have to go with Hurakan Condor at Port Aventura in Spain. Good height and nice theming.... After the ride. All relieved with a nice, cold drink... Onride. My buddy Andy in the red shirt doesn't really like droprides Its "highness" - Hurakan Condor
odie Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 My favrite is the supreme scream at the puyallup fair, Washington. It shoots you first and drops, then it slowly brings you to the top and holds you there then drops again. (from coasterglobe)
ParkTrips Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Liberty Launch. Thats probably the worst drop tower outside of Martin's Fantasy Island, in my opinion of course...   A year later and with several new drop tower "credits", I still say... Tower of Terror and Acrophobia for me. I don't really like drop towers.
d34thstrik3 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Giant Drop, Dreamworld, Australia  Only actual drop ride I have been on.
californiascreamer1 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 The only one i have ever been on  California Adventure Tower of terror! Whatever
Mr. Shake Posted April 5, 2007 Posted April 5, 2007 Discovery and Columbia @ Mirabilandia in Italy, they're just awesome! sorry for the bad quality, its taken with my cell
skyecoaster Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Another vote for the Giant Drop, Queensland. Â When you are sitting at the top waiting to fall and the tower shakes because the Tower of Terror has launched... there's nothing scarier.
coasterlover04 Posted April 9, 2007 Posted April 9, 2007 Giant Drop at SFGAm. On a nice clear day, you can see the downtown Chicago skyline.
