nagro5 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 One of my favorites has always been Dungeon Drop at Astroworld. I rode it when I was little and have never forgotten it. I'm curious to know what happened to it when Astroworld closed. Was it scrapped or moved to a different park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cleusk Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My favorite drop ride that still exists is the Tower of Terror. My favorite drop ride that no longer exists is the Cliffhanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippindotsguy8 Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 My absolute favorite drop ride (and favorite of every ride I've experienced) is the SCAD tower (if that counts). Otherwise, I love the Intamin 1st gen freefalls. On the subject of drop rides, I personally don't care for the S&S turbo drops. Because of the downward force, it feels too controlled and less intense than a true freefall to me. I enjoy them, but I just don't find them to be as good. The space shots are great though.

chargersmichael Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Tower or Terror at WDW!!!! Especially when you drop first when you don't know instead of going up first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I'm going to get it for this but I really like the Intamin first gens. I've ridden the one at Magic Mountain (defunct), Great adventure (defunct) and Cedar Point (moved) and I loved all of them. I don't really care for the S&S rides. I rode Drop Zone (whatever it is now) at KI and really enjoyed it but the first gens feel like more of a true "free fall" experience. That being said, Big Shot in Las Vegas was the most terrifying shit that I've ever ridden but it's a shot tower and not a drop tower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueFireCoaster Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Lex Luther. Instead of NOT riding and not liking it, I haven't even ridden it yet and it's already my favorite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdude Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 It will almost certainly be Lex Luther: Drop of Doom at this point next year, but as I have not ridden it yet I am going to say Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney California Adventure Park, with Scream at Six Flags New England being a very close second. Drop Tower at Kings Dominion is very good as well, and while it has a better drop the overall ride isn't as good as the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 Drop Tower at Canada's Wonderland. It was the first Intamin drop tower I've ever ridden and the drop caught me off guard (I didn't know they do the false countdown back then). I actually prefer them over the S&S's.

Plasmasonic Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I have to say Disney's Tower of Terror! It's not the most intense, but I love the concept and the atmosphere! Also, I just can't wait to see the Lex Luthor Drop of Doom in action! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dylanreich Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I already pick Lex Luthor. But for currently-operating rides, Disney's Tower of Terror. I think the experience is just great, starting from entering the "hotel." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RideofSteel Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I've only been on a couple drop towers, the tallest one being at Six Flags America. But, I found the ride to be lame. It slowly pulled you up, and you sat at the top for a couple seconds too long. Then, just like that you hit the brakes. My favorite that I've been on is a maybe 50 ft high Moser tower. There's some awesome airtime, and the restraints were really loose. Lex Luther looks awesome! I hope I can ride it in the next couple of years!
