Thats Acrerphobia@SfOg. That ride is amazing, best drop ride ever. It blows Gaint Drop out of the water.

i have a question....why does everyone like giant drop so much? there are much better towers out there, and i can't get over the fact that the brakes start 2/5 of the way up the tower....as soon as the ride starts, its over. i would much prefer a space shot.[/url]

I've been on an S&S tower, and I loved it... I still love Giant Drop though too... Those couple of seconds are just so thrilling!

i do still enjoy giant drop, but if you're gonna build a tower....you either build a space shot as tall as giant drop....or you gotta build a taller giant drop.....i just think its too short

S&S have better drop rides. I wasn't over impressed with the Giant Drop. That's all I have to say. It does seem like you are up there for a while...

To me, it feels like more of a freefall (and really it is) on Giant Drop... On the S&S drops, you're always connected to a cable, and it doesn't feel as much like a freefall. I think just knowing that you aren't connected to anything on Giant Drop makes it scarier and more fun.

Man, that would scare me so much! That would be the best... Honestly, drop rides are practically the only thing that scare me anymore, so that's why I like them a lot.
