STUNT TOWER'S!

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby Kiwigoodkid on September 2nd, 2004, 10:01 pm
I was looking on Intinam A.G's site today and I found the most interesting free fall ride. The Multi Drop Ride. This ride features 2 regular drop cars, 1 tilting stand up car, and one floorless tilting stand up car. This got me thinking how much crazier can the stunt towers get? Could we see a flying stunt tower? A spin while you drop? The possibilities are endless so lets see what you ideas are.

that's just a standard Giant Drop with different cars on it, I've ridden it (all cars), it's not all that great, feels exaclty like what each car normally feels like (sit down feels like Giant Drop, and the other 2 feel similar to Acrophobia)

Hey:

Kiwigoodkid is correct. The Multi Drop Ride is located in Korea. He and I have spent hours looking for more information, but when you can't read
Korean, it's hard to find stuff.

The park is in a Suburb of Seoul, South Korea. The park isn't listed
under Rcdb.com because it doesn't have any rollercoasters. So, one
thing I ask, is don't say people are wrong when you don't know the
information. If you can prove us wrong, then go ahead and try. I
can give you exact information on City and Park name, but all that info
is at home and I don't have access to it at work!

Kiwigoodkid is wrong. Apocalypse at Drayton Manor Park is another stunt tower.

Ok, I checked it out. Yes, both Kiwigoodkid and I were wrong. So I guess that there are 2 Standup Stunt Towers. Who knows, there
maybe more (I wish there was one here in Chicago).

I checked out Drayton Manor Park, and you were right Irish Monkey.
So, we were wrong. Oh well. We're just humans!

The only reason I will hold spite against you is becaues I simply stated that I thought he was wrong, and you got all offensive, don't be so quick to attack.

When I posted this topic, I wanted to hear other peoples ideas, but instead people turned it into a "I'm right and you're wrong so Haha" topic. Please be mindful that it's all I wanted to know. I didn't want it to be a right nor wrong situation, i just wanted to hear peoples ideas.

For the record I havent, I rode Draytons, but what made you so sure I hadnt gone there?

Not everyone on this board is 15 yrs old, untraveled, and has their #1 coaster at SFGAm :D

In defense of Kiwigoodkid, there was just a misunderstanding
FParker185. There was little information for us to work off of,
and all we knew, is that the only Multi Drop ride was in Korea.

We had no idea that there was a Multi Drop ride in the UK. I searched
the net over and over again, and nothing about that ride being
in the UK, as far as I could see.

So what, we were wrong and we assumed that nobody would have
gone over to Korea. So, why can't we just drop this whole issue of
firing back at everybody with assumptions and accusations and just
get back to the topic.

I would like to discuss this topic of Multi Drop Rides, but lets just see
if we can stop with this whole problem first.

Thanks!
