Reon Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Now that I've finally ridden it, Arachnophobia. Havent tried any Tower of Terror's yet, so I dont know their wonders, but Arac=ZOMFG wow. First of all, the standing up element REALLY makes it feel alot "scarier" then just sitting with your feet dangling. But to add the whole tilting straight down while dangling 200 feet in the air? It was one of the few times I have ever been legitimately frightened by an attraction (the others being my first trip to CP looking up to MF and TTD and Mr Freeze going through the top hat backwards). Arac is INSANE, end of story.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samisthabomb Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Superman Tower of Power, especially when it is in combo mode! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Farmer Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Any Second Gen Intamin Drop Tower. For some reason Intamin gyro-drops seems to be lacking something those second-gens have. S&S Towers aren't even in the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matteocrepaldi Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 ^ Quote. But as far as overall ride experience there's nothing better than Disney's Tower of Terror (I tried only the ona in Paris!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 ^^^ Most airtime I've had on any S&S attraction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saldek Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Tower of Terror at Disney Hollywood Studios is my absolute favorite. I hate the DCA version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Giant Drop at Dreamworld - Australia: it's the biggest, and it has an Intamin free-fall coaster (like Superman at SFMM)flying up the same tower. This may not count as a drop ride but I was never more scared on a ride than on the SCAD tower in Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilstronger Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Mine is: The Stunt Tower at Kings Dominion: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKI Jizzman Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Giant Drop at Dreamworld - Australia: it's the biggest, and it has an Intamin free-fall coaster (like Superman at SFMM)flying up the same tower. Hell yeah mate! It's for SURE the best when: A.) You're sitting at the top, and Tower of Terror car comes up, shaking the tower at 400ft haha. B.) You drop, and as you're going down, the ToT car flies right by, the opposite way. I was lucky enough to have experienced both, at the very end of the row. Will never forget that!

Snowboard246 Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Scariest one I have ridden was Acrophobia at SFOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJeXeL Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Scary because of the riding position or scary because of the ride experience?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoopLover Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Barnstormer at Loudon Castle......but...For the ride experience it has to be Extremis:Drop Ride To Doom at the London Dungeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonskeep Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 The one they bring to the volusia county fair is pretty good. I think it's better than the bigger ones. It reaches the top and immediately drops so you dont know when you will fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarTrekGeek Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 So far my favorite is Dr. Doom at IOA. I've only been on a few though, so for now, Doom takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osm Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 So far my favorite is Dr. Doom at IOA. I've only been on a few though, so for now, Doom takes the cake. Same, I love Doom, but have yet to ride an Intamin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I like the theming of Dr. Doom (the queue is great), but I think the ride is just average for an S&S tower. Drop Tower (Kings Dominion), Blue Fall (Sea Paradise in Japan), and Giant Drop (Dreamworld in Australia) are better rides. That being said, the only drop ride I simply don't care for is the one at Six Flags America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavs Fan Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I'm going to have to go with X-Sream at Waldameer. I feel like I'm going to fall out every time I ride it. I've been on TOT and Drop Zone and S&S towers, but even though they may be bigger, X-Sream is just as, if not more, thrilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ejectorbater Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I vote for SFMM's drop ride. Oh wait, Magic Mountain doesn't build flats, only mediocre coasters with the sole intentions to have the coaster record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmaster562 Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 ^ Iwouldn't say there mediocre, but they do however lack a drop tower. (Which I mentioned at the Q&A, and they had no reply, but a stunned look on there face ) And as for drop towers, Supreme Scream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuff2break Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Tower of Terror at Disneyland Paris is fantastic! love how you're only strapped in with seatbelts, and the airtime is great!!! Also the views from the top are fantastic esp. at night =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW1 Flying Ace Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Tower of Terror at DHS. Acrophobia has good intentions but it... hurt a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braztaz Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I've only been on two; Power Tower at Cedar Point and Drop Tower at Kings Dominion. Out of the two, I'd pick Drop Tower by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
