  • You definitely need to go to Busch Gardens Tampa. Don't let admission stop you from going. It's a very beautiful park and has a ton of killer attractions.

  • Guys, It was worth the wait.

yikes, I rode drop zone once, will never ride it again, safe to say, I'm never getting on that thing. Cool concept, hindsite being 20/20 I'm surprised its taken so long to go from a drop zone style ride to something along these lines, though I suspect capacity is much lower on this than a drop zone style ride.

I'm glad to see this concept being brought back. The only other Drop Tower (that I know of) that does something similar is Acrophobia at Six Flags over Georgia, though that is only 15 degrees. Face first sounds insane!

I had this exact idea when I was 8, right after Drop Zone got installed! (I played roller coaster tycoon all the time, and had it in my head I was going to be a ride designer, and always came up with ideas lol) This looks awesome though!

Same concept as Griffon, without the reasuring curve outward from the drop. Hope they have very good restraints, otherwise.....kersplat!

I am not sure I am ready for that yet...I am just starting to enjoy the awesomeness of Drop Towers. I had not done the one at KI until this season...That thing looks terrifying.

Wow. That does look intense. I wonder if it is the same manufacturer as the drop ride at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. I believe that one was a MoseRides install, and I believe they have had issues with it. It was down when I was there back in March of this year.

TPR just confirmed this will be an Intamin ride.

Clicky

Be prepared for long lines and lots of downtime!

I love roller coasters and Drop Tower.

But not this.

Never.

"Drop Tower 1 looks too intense for me..."

Sounds exciting. If that video's correct, it looks like it will be in Timbuktu. My only question is how they are to make room for it.

^ I believe Sandstorm got moved next to Gwazi and this is occupying it's former location.

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY! I want to ride this NOW! I am definitely going to have to try to plan a trip to Florida next year. This looks awesome!

I'd love to see S&S take this concept to the next level. I imagine taking 4d seats which would engage to the rail at the top. Face you straight down before release then tumble head over heels before landing on your back, then slowly lowered into seated position. I actually wrote them this idea many years ago but never got a reply.

Many companies have a policy of not reading any product suggestions, for fear that a submitter could claim ownership if something similar is later developed.
