Sometimes higher drops doesn't equate better ride. It's the anticipation of the drop. For me Tower of Terror's random unpredictable drops makes it scary even though the drops aren't that high.

Thought there was a countdown on mega king tower but since we were that high we didn't here a single thing and we were dropped while I was thinking that we were fine. They stalled us up there for a full minute so once we were taken to the top again (the ride has 2 cycles) the thing stops but in reality its moving up slowly. I was thinking i woudnt fall for it so i knew we would have to wait a minute until it drops and then it drops a few seconds later. Arguably the best experience ive had on a drop tower (better than that kiddie drop tower that takes you to an astounding 5 meters).
@hellacia8151Ай бұрын
Tower Of Terror's ride system is also way better than a lot of drop towers - most are just freefall, so the drop just goes at the speed of gravity, while tower of terror is an elevator and YANKS you down faster than gravity.

This is why Disney is so good (or at least why it can be when it wants to be.) I feel like calling TOT a "drop tower" isn't giving it enough credit. It's a dark ride that utilizes a drop tower system during part of the ride. The building itself, the music, the queue, the video in the library, the boiler room, the first segment of the elevator and when the elevator leaves its shaft all build you up to such incredible tension. The drop(s) aren't just a thrilling sensation but they feel like the climax to a story you've been living for the previous 30 minutes. It really is such an incredible ride.

If an S&S Space Shot is programmed correctly it's close to your #2 in how it feels despite the obvious shoulder restraint, such as the sadly fallen (2012 to hurricane sandy) "Tower Of Fear" which was more forceful than most and also oddly taller than many others were at the time it was built. I rode one recently it might've been one at hershey but not sure, that measured up and I just said "I wish the one near me was like this." The larson ones are nuts, they put one of those close to me and I love it! I I really miss those intamin 1st generation types on the tracks cause they were awesome just maintainence nightmares (cause intamin). People mention the one at SFOG-honestly thought it was the only painful drop tower I've ever written and didn't make it scarier to be basically stand up, probably the worst next to too many parks buying the standard 80 feet S&S double shots that don't even go up to their max height (cause poor maintainence).

There were two unique drop towers in Liseberg untill a couple of years ago and they were called Höjdskräcken and Uppskjutet. Uppskjutet was like a normal drop tower, but backwards, instead of being dropped from the peak, you were shot up from the ground into the sky. So the anticipation came at ground level since you didn't stall at the top. Höjdskräcken was like Uppskjutet but backwards, instead of being dropped at the top, you were shot down from the top and therefore you had a higher acceleration and with that a higher speed than the usual droptower. They were closed in 2016 - 2017 and were two of my favorite "drop towers". I'm sure that you would have loved them as well.

I was really scared to go on drop towers but I went on Supreme Scream in middle school when I went to Knotts on a school trip and that helped me get over my fear. Since then I've been on a smaller one at a church carnival a few years ago and plan on going on more in the future. They are pretty fun

One of my personal favorites is Sasquatch at The Great Escape. You can choose to look over the Adirondacks or you can choose to look over the entire park since Sasquatch is at the very front. Either one is amazing.

I don’t know if they count, but skycoasters provide a pretty good rush. I like how on these one of the riders has to initiate the drop.

Condor is the drop tower that made me both love and hate them! So sad it wasn't open when you went, it did go down a couple of times when we were there.

Great video :) I thought you would honor Hurakan Condor, it's theming is really cool, you should try it even though it's a more classic" kinda tower

Out of the ones I’ve ridden, drop line at Dollywood has to be my favorite. It’s a nice, long fall and you just can’t beat the view at the top.

I was on the first human test riders drop for Falcons Fury since I worked in the gift shop next to it. It’ll always have a spot in my heart.. and how many people can say they were on the first drop ever of a drop ride?!?!

Just a note: detonator, a Larson super shot at Thorpe park does pause at the top, then counts down from 5. Usually, you then drop, but sometimes, you drop on 3 or something, or drop instantly without the countdown, or pause after the countdown, put my personal favourite is when there is an announcement: ‘attention. Detonator is currently experiencing a technical dela- And then you drop. I’ve experienced the last one, and its a real surprise even if you know it’s coming!

Dude I’m not a huge coaster guy and stuff and I’ve only been on one drop tower at Dollywood and it’s just this anticipation because your 250 feet in the air for 30 seconds and not to mention it’s spinning while your sitting there and then boom you drop. Such a weird, scary, but most importantly fun experience.

I haven’t been on many drop towers, but I have been on Haunted Mine Drop and it was incredible!

There’s a Larson Super Shot that operated at the Danbury Fair carnival and the Big E for several years with an Orange colour scheme. It’s a surreal experience.

Ikaros is my favourite "traditional" drop tower, if you can even call it that. But there's one tower that stands far above anything I've ever experienced. It's the only ride in the world that actually scares me every time I go on it. I'm not even sure you can classify it as a ride. I'm talking about Sky Tower at Tivoli Friheden in Denmark. This drop tower doesn't even have seats. They give you a helmet and put some straps on you. You ascend in a sketchy elevator. They pretty much hang you up by the straps on you and suspend you over the edge. And then you drop. 30 meters of true free fall until you hit a net. I had to scream but I couldn't because that drop took my breath away in every sense of the word. It was better than any roller coaster I've ever been on. You should definetely consider going to Denmark the next time you're in Europe.

Liberty Launch @ Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN is a "drop tower" in reverse. Compressed air launches the carriage upwards over 150 feet and then you yo-yo back and forth (bounce) a few times until the brake system slowly brings the carriage back down to ground level. I highly recommend if you are ever in Indiana.

Zumanjaro should definitely be on here now since SFGAdv got approval from NJ to run this simultaneously with Kingda Ka.
