Best Drop Ride!!!

[oriolat]

4th is Drop Tower (cannot remember the name) at Terra Mitica

 

It's called "Flight of the Phoenix".

 

For me:

 

1- Mystery Castle, Phantasialand

2- The Hangman, Movie Park

3- Scream!, Heide Park

4- PNDOL, Tibidabo

5- Hurakan Condor, PortAventura

[PKI Jizzman]

I've been on:

-Intamin 1st gens

-2nd gens

-3rd gens

-Acrophobia

-Kemah's Drop Zone

-WDW TOT

-DCA TOT

-S&S Double shot

-S&S Combo

-S&S Space shot

-S&S Down shot

-Beech Bend's drop tower

-Coney Island's (OH) American

-Dreamworld's 420ft tall GIANT DROP

-Warner Bros Movie World Space Shot

 

I like the Tower of Terrors, Acrophobia, and Giant Drop the best.

The Combo tower at SFFT was VERY good, and much better than SFOT.

Kemah and Beech Bend's towers are those small, portable one...WOW.

Kings Island's 3rd gen drop tower is very good, always impressed with that.

Holiday World's double shot is VERY impressive, always ride that a few times.

Movie World Australia's Batman Space shot was a surprise, like a 200ft double shot.

 

I'm going to miss Demon Drop at CP...that ride put my stomach in my throat unlike any other drop ride!

1) The Intamin Drop Tower at Six Flags Great America (that's the one in Chicago right?) - it was tall and that drop was insaaaane.

2) Tower of Terror at WDW - the theming really, really adds to it...I remember back when it just used to be one drop and it would still probably be my #2.

3) Dr. Doom's Fearfall - theming adds to it again, and I always get really good air at the top after the first launch.

4) Drop Zone at Carowinds (was that the right name?) - Love these kinds of drop towers, they scare me every time.

5) Demon Drop

6) Superman at SFoT - I liked the combo idea, and it is pretty tall too.

7) Power Tower (red)

 

The worst was probably the blue side of the Power Tower...it was kind of scary waiting for the drop but Demon Drop's smaller drop was way more exciting.

I think I've said this before, but it must be restated. The A.R.M. drop rides are seriously the best I've ever been on. And that one one the last page a few posts down with the sweet lights is an A.R.M. For those of you that don't know, it's completely gravity based, no cord or anything on the actual car like S&S has and it drops (to me) faster than an Intamin does. These things seriously drop like a rock. If you've never ridden one some county fairs have them. The combination of the carnies operating it and the fear that they didn't set it up right should make you fear for your life in many ways. Go ride one. It will change your life.

 

But other than those, I thoroughly enjoy ToT at both Disney Studios and California Adventure (yes I have ridden both and I don't really think the California one is all that bad).

I also loved riding Double Shot at SCBB back when I was younger and that's probably one of the only S&S towers that's actually thrilling.

And a lot of the other ones that people have mentioned on the last page I love also.

For me it's Tower of Terror (FL) and Double Shot (Indiana Beach). S&S Double Shots rock my world!

[DBru]

How tall is Blue Fall?

[PKI Jizzman]

How tall is Blue Fall?

 

Doesn't matter, it's all about Giant Drop in Australia that's 420ft tall! Reaches 100mph on the way down.

 

I think it's 330ft.

[philthephorce]

2. ToT (WDW)

3. Dr. Doom's Fear Fall

[NorCalAndrew]

Big Shot on top of the Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas, NV. Keep in mind it's on TOP of the tower, which means it's 1081 feet tall. I don't know about any of you, but strapping yourself into a ride when you're at least 900 feet off the ground is kind of a scary/difficult task.

[Intimidator305]

Drop Tower: Scream Zone @ Kings Dominion ( at the name!)

Tower of Terror @ Hollywood Studios

[Sidra]

Drop rides are the only rides that scare me to the edge of death and I can only go on them when someone I'm with begs. My first was Free Fall at SFMM, I know it doesn't sound like much but I was probably 8 at the time.

 

Most recently I've been avoiding them until my brother Cody convinced me to go on Supreme Scream at KBF and I screamed his ear off. Still enjoyed it, but doubt I'd do it again, had bruises on the insides of my arms from gripping the restraints so tight.

[wados]

it has to be

TOT Hollywood studios

then

Giant drop dreamworld australia

[CorkscrewFoley]

Tower of Terror (DHS)

Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall (damn well took my breath away)

PittFall.

[BenJamin13]

Drop Tower at Kings Dominion.

[samisthabomb]

Superman: Tower of Power!

[the ghost]

Tower of Terror(floridas is the best, but the DCA one is a close second)

The Orange County fair giant drop aka ARM tower

Supreme Scream. It's funny how the ARM tower is so much more intense feeling then the much larger S&S tower!

[atem122]

My list: Cliff Jumper at Scandia Fun Center, Dragon's Tower at Castle Park, Supreme Scream at Knott's, and then a toss up between Freefall at SFMM and Maliboomer.

 

IDK where to rank ToT, but it definitely beats most of my top 5.

[Gmaster562]

^ I was just gonna post that as my fav too! CLiff jumper is INTENSE!!!

[CoasterPrince]

Morey's Piers AtmosFear. Audio, Lights, and Fog. Nuff' Said.

[Midgetman82]

Tower of Terror at WDW is my favorite, so much freedom in there. My second favorite would have to be Acrophobia for it's seats and tilting.

[thrillrideseeker]

So Tower Of Terror at WDW is one of my favorites, but after riding Big Shot at the top of the Stratosphere I have a new favorite!! Not that it is really big, or really forceful, but the location is amazing, and the view is spectacular!!

Tower of Terror at Disney's California Adventure is my favourite drop ride. I like that it has an amazing story and theme as well as it's very intense drop sequence.
