Drop Zone is Back in Action!

[Browntggrr]

First, DZ is not going anywhere. It really confuses me when the trolls come on bored and plant these "stupid seeds" in a rather good topic.

^Good.. replace it with a Power Tower type drop ride that's the same height.

Quite honestly, PT has nothing on SkyScreamer at Marineland. It looks rather like PT yet you get both the TurboShot & TurboDrop on the same ride. Unlike PT where you have to decide which one you want.

SkyScreamer is easily the best drop ride I have ever been on. Perhaps it was the view of the falls that helped, but having both the drop & shot was great.

But it is really only 1 of 3 rides for a reason to actually go to MarineLand.

How much longer do you think DZ will stay??? This year it's had alot of trouble. I know that the main reason it was closed was because of SFKK though but still. I think that if it continues next year we could see DZ go.....

=[

Let me make this very clear: Drop Zone was down because it had a MINOR technical issue and they had to order a part from Intamin before they were willing to reopen it. The closure of Drop Zone for any extended period of time was NOT a direct result of the incident at Kentucky Kingdom.

^Yes you are correct, some of the rides were only down a day or two, one that I know of only a couple of hours. There was only one ride closed because of a major cable problem discovered during an inspection after the SFKK accident. If you really want to get rid of DZ, then I would suggest this:

That's 393ft, and it shakes a little when the Tower of Terror is running also. (When I say a little, that is when you are looking up at it. When you are on it, it is a whole other story)
