Has anyone passed KI recently and noticed the door open to Drop Tower with a light on in it? It's been like that for three weeks now.

Are you referring to the door at the top inside of like the checkered racing color thing?

My guess would probably be routine maintenance. Open door (probably) for access to the outer components, and the light so that the workers can see.

Speaking of Drop Towers i was up at Louisville for the National Farm Machinery Show & Championship Tractor pull which is located in Freedom Hall and literally right across the parking lot is Kentucky Kingdom and i saw Superman Tower Of Power and it just sent shivers up and down my spine because i realized the last time that ran was on that horrible day. It was just one of those things that you get a weird feeling when you see and think about it.

Speaking of that.....do you think they will reopen this year or next?

No. The Superman: Tower of Power ride will be demolished, with the agreement of all parties concerned. This is planned before the season begins.

That's what I figured

^Yeah i thought i read somewhere that it was due to be demolished on the 12th but it was still there and it looks like one side is missin a car so i guess they have already started.

yeah I heard that too. The ride is not listed on their site anymore.

I really dont see why they are demolishing it because i mean rides have killed people before but it has withstood the test of time and i do beleive that they could put in a better thrill ride like they said they are planning to do.

Parks have removed rides with a history of fatalities before so this isn't unusual for SFKK to do. KD removed their Galaxi coaster within two seasons following a fatal accident in 1983 & added their togo standup in it's place in 1986.As for DZ I really hope CF isn't renaming it "Drop Tower" because that is totally non creative of them to do when they could just recycle the "power tower" name used on CP's S&S tower.

Heck even a simple name like "freefall" would be better.

What fatal accident on Galaxi? Shockwave has had two or three.

It's pretty obvious to me. They're laying a concrete footing on the top of Drop Tower for the 600' Dive Machine that's going to go right over it in 2009.
