teenageninja Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 I heard it's not that bad. I dunno if I'd ride it looks painful although I heard it isn't and I am extremly scared of heights that looks like it'd kill me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7D Rules Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 I had thought that maybe that was what they were doing to DZ this year. I like the idea of a tilted seat. Not that I'm not scared enough already as it stands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CYoung2003 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 DZ is definately not getting adjusting seats. Too much time, too much effort. Just, no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightrider19 Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 acraphobia is a midget of a Drop Tower compared ot any others ice seen, i dont care if they hang you face first by your ankles, if ur only goin that high its not worth the wait in line, it also breaks down alot, it went down twice with two diffrent problems the day i was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 With the exception of turing one of The Racers' trains backwards, I can't think of another time when they've modified a ride to change the riders' experience. Like CYong said, too much time, too much effort... plus it would be hard to push it as a new ride when it came to advertising it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rollercoaster Posted August 24, 2003 Share Posted August 24, 2003 Isnt the height of the 2 deck of the Eiffel Tower at the same height as the drop height of DZ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dane Posted August 25, 2003 Share Posted August 25, 2003 DZ is 1 foot taller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7D Rules Posted August 26, 2003 Author Share Posted August 26, 2003 I don't believe that anyone has said that DZ seats were going to be changed or considered for a change. I simply stated that I had heard before the 2003 season began that PKI was going to change the seats to tilted ones. Does anyone read these threads before they post?

CYoung2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Ok, coming from the Drop Zone guy himself: Bottom line the tower is 315 ft. and the drop is 264 ft. Eiffel Tower is 314 ft. WOW Drop Zone beats it by the one foot because of the little tower on top! Thats the bottom line of this whole topic! Done. Said. Move along to another topic and lay off my ride!

bingog34 Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 "I can't think of another time when they've modified a ride to change the riders' experience. " -BoddaH What about changing the seats on FOF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" -BoddaH What about changing the seats on FOF? True, very true... I was just thinking more along the lines of track layout, etc. Although FoF is 10000x better new because of the new restraints, it really doesn't entirely change the ride experience. I mean, it's much more comfortable now, and you feel like you have more freedom, but it's still the same ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
