gigacoaster2k Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Skyscraper does look pretty intense though. How much is a ride on that bad boy? It's $10 per person. If you have a platinum pass and it's not a Saturday, you can get buy a ride get a ride free tickets at the Season Pass Center at the front gate.

coaster_junky Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 i wanted to ride skyscraper last summer when it opened, but i was too busy riding the 17 roller coasters and ran out of time. p.s. i voted for Drop Tower, even though i really wanted to vote for last years program on the crypt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondback FOF Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Show me a flat ride that beats this. Then we'll talk. I don't think there is any way in he11 I'd ride that!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCryptRaider Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I would've said Crypt, but it changed to Ferris Wheel: The Ride. I voted for Scooby. I just like taking a break from the big thrills and riding that, but the best part is... AIR CONDITIONING!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ki Man Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Ever rode skyflyer? I don't understand the hype over dropzone. I don't feel the true free fall sensation like I do on Demon Drop. Sooooooo true. Intamin Drop Towers from best to...not best: -1st gen -2nd gen -3rd gen They're all awesome, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 It was very tough between the Action Zone rides, which are all pretty great. Drop Tower's feeling of free fall, Xtreme Skyflyer's feeling of flying, In the end I voted Delirium, because it creates the best experience for me. Your facing straight down to the ground one second, the next your facing the sky close enough you can reach out and touch it. It's a fantastic ride. Although, I've yet to ride maXair, so......

IBEW_Sparky Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Demon Drop (or the one I was used to riding... Mr Hydes Nasty Fall) bar none. And to answer the question of "whats the difference between it and Drop Tower?", think about the fact that you are WELL secured in Drop Tower and there is nothing but a seatbelt holding you in on a 1st Gen dropper like DD. True, it may be 200-ish feet shorter... but it TRULY feels like a freefall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Uh...don't you mean an over the shoulder restraint? Terpy, who remembers no seatbelts on any Intamin first generation drop ride, but clearly recalls and recalls well the OTSR's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBEW_Sparky Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 OK, I stand corrected, as confirmed by a quick jump to CPs website. I for some reason dont recall the OTSRs on MHNF... my bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Originally ONE seat in each car on Tower of Terror at Disney had only a seatbelt (back row, at top of pathway, between the two sides), the rest had lapbars only. Perhaps that is what you remember? I rode Mr. Hyde's Nasty Fall many, many times...and remember well the restraints... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTD-120-420 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Sling Shot by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KI Kevin Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sling Shot by far. Exactly. It's amazing. And how fast does Slingshot go? On the rides section of KICentral.com it says 100mph, making it the fastest ride in the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 For me its a tie, Drop Tower and Delirium. Only problem with Drop Tower is there starting adding new seats with shorter seat belts, I had to staple myself to the the buckle to lock. I'm 6'1 with big shoulders, that was a tight fit. lol.

txdrummer Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Drop Tower with Delirium a very close second. I have not yet found a ride that gets my blood flowing like Drop Towers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 To me there is still no flat better than Drop Tower when you look up, hold your arms out and hold your legs out. Absolute bliss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 ^ That's how I ride it! Drop Tower gets my vote as well. I've never been enthralled by Delirium (especially as it took the place of one of my favorite KI coasters) and am spoiled by having ridden MaXair multiple times. Slingshot I found very underwhelming. Skyflyer was cool but after the initial drop it isn't as interesting as I'd thought it'd be - I'm still too wimpy to do it by myself though, there's something about pulling my own ripcord that unnerves me, the only way I rode it this year was because giga pulled it! I want to hit up Skyscraper, I haven't ridden it yet, and I'm all about making things flip or spin as much and as fast as humanly possibly. Put me on a monster, spider, tilt-a-whirl, or tea cups ride and I guarantee I can make even someone with an iron stomach feel the need to yak! I try to get as many inversions as possible out of Chaos and the last time I rode a zipper, the ride op was like "I don't think I've ever seen someone flip it that many times."

Diamondback96 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Drop Tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I voted for Shake, Rattle, and Roll as my favorite flat ride. Quite simple... I love the Scrambler and S,R,R is similar, but in the air. Viking Fury (-the middle) and Delirium make me green, and I've been to chicken to try Drop Tower or The Crypt. At 21 years of age I fill silly to be afraid of rides... put me on any coaster and I'm fine (cept Wicked Twister and the like). However, flats are a different story for me. I plan to make it on Crypt now since in has been dulled down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLorean Rider Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 You know technically Xtreme Skyflyer isn't a flat ride, it's a sky coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 You know technically Xtreme Skyflyer isn't a flat ride, it's a sky coaster. Dodgem isn't a flat either. It's a "crash simulator". It's like an educational ride for defensive driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Wow, tough choice... It's a tie between Skyflier and Delirium for me, with Drop Tower in 3rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 I would have said Crypt before they tamed it down, so my vote now goes to Delirium. Drop Tower is too one dimesional for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Scrambler and S,R,R is similar, but in the air... I personally don't think Shake, Rattle, and Roll is anything like the Scrambler. The Scrambler has force to it and you can't just 'relax.' On SRR, there are very few forces and there's wrightlessness, and you can close your eyes and relax. But, I like both and voted for Shake, Rattle, and Roll.
