Technically, I guess it's named after the 1994 movie staring Wesley Snipes called (surprise, surprise) "Drop Zone". However, there's absolutely no themeing or storyline to even come close to tying the movie in with a themed ride. Face Off (opened the samed year as DZ) is even worse when it came to tying the ride into a movie theme. They could have named either one "Titanic" and the ride themeing wouldn't have been any more disconnected.

Those Paramount tie-ins actually made some sense to me. Drop Zone was named after the movie. There was a poster around AZ referring to it. Since it's about a group of skydivers, the idea behind the ride was that you're filming a stunt for the movie, hence the subtitle, Stunt Tower. Face Off, based on the John Travolta / Nicholas Cage movie, plays off the literal name; you're facing your friends while riding the ride. Theming as an ambiance probably wasn't the point, it was likely just the sake of using movie titles.

Why didn't Congo Falls change back to Amazon Falls? Did anyone see the movie Congo??? I did - twice. Guess what? There wasn't one dang waterfall in the entire movie! Duh!!!

If you are in line for Drop Zone and listen they are talking about filming for the new stunt and there is a target on the building where you are supposed to land. Face Off you are literally facing off.

As opposed to Two Face: The Flip Side, where you also face off.

Anyone remember the sign on Twisted Twins? Face your fears: Head On.

^Good ole Lola and Stella.

Face your fears: Head On.

Apply directly to the forehead...?

I don't know, was there naming rights with it? Or is it just a name?
