That one's taller, this one's faster

Great ride. Best drop tower ever, and my personal favorite flat thrill ride.

Yeah, the Tower of Terror is simply a very well themed drop coaster with a longer, pre-determined layout.

I thought so. I've never seen a drop ride like this in action, but the car/train/whatever the thing that you sit on is dosen't seem like something you'd shoot into the air at high speeds.

Well, you probably think they're overrated because you've never been on an Intamin one. I always skip the S&S ones as they don't offer enough forces. But the Intamins, even the small ones, they deliver. The KD one, oh man, strong negative Gs from start to finish, it just keeps going. Everyone who gets off of that thing is just smiling and euphoric. It's a wonderful feeling!

Do Disney's multiple Tower of Terrors count as Tower Rides? I've never been on an Intamin Drop Tower ride, although I can say from track records (no pun intended) that I'd prefer a Gyro Drop as pictured above.

I think it is the same height as the King's Island's drop tower.

I'd rather ride a drop tower than a space shot, and this one is simply the best. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I saw somewhere that this tower is the tallest drop tower in North America.

I think drop towers are overrated, then again I've never been on an Intamin one. I personally prefer space shots.

It doesn't launch the riderss. It's more of a slow and steady lift.
