I went on Sky Trek Tower opening day this year, and all I could say is I could barely keep my balance while I was sitting, because I'm so scared of heights. But on Giant Drop, I'm fine, since I have the safety harness holding me in.

Wow Brad I thought you had disappeared again.

Anyways I used to be scared of Giant Drop, but now it isn't even much of a rush anyore.

PKI's Drop Zone totally kills GD in the 'scare' department. It gives more of a rush, and it feels like it takes about 15 mins to get to the top.

But, yet I view it like I view Giant Drop.....
Once was enough! :)
Finally Coaster Season!!

You dont even stop at the top, and you cant see the top, so you dont know when your going to drop. It reminds me of Demon Drop at Cedar Point. Anyways the whole thing is orange and has alot of lights. It holds 12 people per ride and says super shot on the train.


That's what The Drop Zone at Alpine Fest was like too. I got my friend who's scared of rides to go on it and he loved. I thought it was fun. And we kept going on it at night and the carny kept flashing the lights.
