medford Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 yikes, I rode drop zone once, will never ride it again, safe to say, I'm never getting on that thing. Cool concept, hindsite being 20/20 I'm surprised its taken so long to go from a drop zone style ride to something along these lines, though I suspect capacity is much lower on this than a drop zone style ride.

silver2005 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'm glad to see this concept being brought back. The only other Drop Tower (that I know of) that does something similar is Acrophobia at Six Flags over Georgia, though that is only 15 degrees. Face first sounds insane!

kjkjkj Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I had this exact idea when I was 8, right after Drop Zone got installed! (I played roller coaster tycoon all the time, and had it in my head I was going to be a ride designer, and always came up with ideas lol) This looks awesome though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wow. This one might be too intense for the general public. That is insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upstop Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Same concept as Griffon, without the reasuring curve outward from the drop. Hope they have very good restraints, otherwise.....kersplat! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayzayd13 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Looks like a pure adreniline ride, Love IT!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron88stang Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I am not sure I am ready for that yet...I am just starting to enjoy the awesomeness of Drop Towers. I had not done the one at KI until this season...That thing looks terrifying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 That seems like a small amount of seats for a major park. I bet capacity will be awful. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Wow. That does look intense. I wonder if it is the same manufacturer as the drop ride at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I believe that one was a MoseRides install, and I believe they have had issues with it. It was down when I was there back in March of this year.

TheCrypt Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Sounds exciting. If that video's correct, it looks like it will be in Timbuktu. My only question is how they are to make room for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AintNutinElse2Do Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'd love to see S&S take this concept to the next level. I imagine taking 4d seats which would engage to the rail at the top. Face you straight down before release then tumble head over heels before landing on your back, then slowly lowered into seated position. I actually wrote them this idea many years ago but never got a reply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I actually wrote them this idea many years ago but never got a reply. Many companies have a policy of not reading any product suggestions, for fear that a submitter could claim ownership if something similar is later developed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
