August 29, 200718 yr 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.
August 29, 200718 yr Author 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.
August 30, 200718 yr ^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: http://www.dreamworld.com.au/content/stand...e=Big5GiantDrop 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)
