I once built a death park in RCT3 with a ride named "Apollo 13". It was a drop tower that launched people at max speed and I built it at the smallest height possible. Yeah... You can guess all the damages I caused in my park.

@chumon1992 Год назад

As far as what I could see it was mostly the operator than the tower itself...the fact that they took it down is kind of weird considering in the video of the incident you can see the operator ignoring his concerns about the restraints and like 5 or 6 other people around him AND IN LINE pointing out that his harness wasn't fastened. The operator was too busy chatting to a girl to the side. Then when he fell out the operator turned around slowly and confused as if he had NO IDEA what had happened. Didn't react at all. It was infuriating to watch, imagine someone dying because you just HAD to talk to that pretty girl. Sickning.

@chumon1992 Год назад

@CKG23 I mean sure, that's also true. However I place more blame on the operator as it is at the end of the day THEIR JOB to make sure they turn away people who are too heavy to ride. Letting them go anyway to "teach them a lesson" or get them to not yell or complain is NEVER a good idea as this could be the result. This isn't the first time something like this has happened due to an operator relenting and letting the person go on anyway. In this particular case, the operator did not care, or at least he didn't show any concern whatsoever in the video. Ultimately yes, they knew he was too heavy and he shouldn't have gone on, but even more so than that, he should have been denied entry, and the MOMENT other people started saying hey he's not buckled! The ride should have been stopped. Tyre himself even expressed concern over it multiple times. In the end the operator is supposed to know the ride the best. This guy simply didn't care. At least that's my take based on the video I saw of the incident. Which I do not recommend finding unless you really wanna see the guys behavior, otherwise it's pretty upsetting, even though they cut the ending its still extremely upsetting to watch.

This is as you see a life and death thing. I'm fucking sorry, but if you're really saying him being a teenager and exhausted is and excuse for chatting to a girl and ignoring 5 people yelling at you ro not dispatch and to check the restraints again, then I have to say the job shouldn't have been his to begin with. I don't care how exhausted you are, they were YELLING to not start the ride. I watched the full uncut video. I agree that it's the fault of the park too for having him working that late and long to begin with, and for hiring teens who can't handle their shifts, but it's ALSO, his fault. It's HIS responsibility to check this stuff. It's literally his whole job, and a kid died. If he can't handle it, he shouldn't be doing it.

#1 and #2 are fun but not overly intense. The Orlando Freefall, while a similar height, was a lot more thrilling with that forward tilt, but even that doesnt compare to how insane your first ride on #7 Falcon's Fury is! I dont think a single drop tower on this list are as intense as the shorter Larsen drop towers. The 120ft drop on Panic Plunge at Silverwood is the only one that gives me that intense drop feeling. They are so good!

@IntenseDragonWagon Год назад

Drop towers feel like maintenance nightmares, especially the older and larger-scale ones. Many of them run on small schedules and aren’t open every day. Some drop towers that face lots of wear and tear even have some of the gondolas parked at the top of the tower because they can’t use all of them

Voltrum is close to me. Very close. I experienced a lot of Funtime and Intamin towers. I can agree, that this drop is very very intense. For whatever reason, it's a lot more intense than Highlander. To be honest, the most intense I've ridden. The open restrains help a lot here. I've ridden this tower close to 70 times now and the ejector airtime is still amazing and feels like a camelback on Expedition Geforce. One very important record holder has to be mentioned here as well: Hangover. It's the tallest portable Gyro Drop tower with 85m or 190ft. Made by Funtime. Sidenote: I somehow think that the standart sitting towers are more intense when it comes to airtime compared to the ones with tilting seats.

I have video of my phone that my youngest son took were he is sobbingly trying to get their attention and he was ignored. After what seemed like forever (because I seriously thought I was going to die in front of my 4 kids, with my youngest sitting next to me), they came over and finally clicked me in.

It was funny hearing about how there used to be a coaster named Tower of Terror in Australia. Since it opened after the Twilight Zone: Tower of Terror rides in the Disney parks (RIP to the one in Disneyland that got re-themed to Guardians of the Galaxy) I gotta wonder how Disney felt about that considering how finicky they can get about that sort of thing.and just the confusion aspect between the two as well. Fun little fact: Disney Imagineers wanted to make ToT 200 ft tall but didn’t because they’d have to put an aircraft warning light on top which would ruin the aesthetic. So they built it one inch shorter.

Orlando Freefall was at one point the largest drop tower in the world, but only for about a year. It was 430 feet tall. It operated from December 2021 until March 2022, when an accident caused it to be permanently shut down. It was also built by Funtime.

@VerticalLoop Год назад

@firasabueida8424 Год назад

My condolences go out to the family of Tyre Sampson, which caused the tragic incident on the Orlando freefall tower. I fully believe that it was the operators fault, and, especially Funtime, the manufacture of the tower. I believe they didn’t have the right and safe restraints. I believe it was literally just a lap bar, but there was no seatbelt involved. And for a drop tower that is so massive, and that tilts 30°, I think it should’ve been safer. I think that they should rebuild it again, with entirely new safety strategies. I believe this is such a fun and unique drop tower experience. I think that Funtime should build an even better version of the tower, or maybe turn to Intamonn, which I believe, have some of the best and safest drop towers in the world. I would love to see a video on your favorite drop towers that you’ve ever written. Much like how we saw for your top 25 favorite roller coasters video, I’m anxious to know what are your top 25 drop towers that you’ve written.

It was also because he wanted to go on the ride despite being over the weight limit but yes I do believe it was the rid op’s fault for not checking his restraint and escorting him off the ride. It would be embarrassing, but much more safe and would have prevented what happened.

@chumon1992 Год назад

There were over the shoulder bars too in the video but they were not secured. Yes he was over weight as well but that's the entire point of a ride op, to operate the ride, and make sure certain people don't ride who wouldn't be safe. I went to sick flags with a friend of mine and he couldn't ride superman because he couldn't buckle the seat belt. He was pissed he couldn't ride but not at the operator or six flags, just the situation. Either way, the ride op was not at all concerned. It's like, when other people in line even are pointing out that it's not fastened correctly(loudly as well), maybe it should be checked...

That combo tower in Parque Warner kinda sucks tho 😅 the combo element sounds cool but when riding it you can feel that it's not fully build for either the shot or drop program but 50/50 to be able to feature both. Makes it a bit weak in my experience.

I went on Lex Luthor near its opening date, got stuck at the top for about 45minutes. Some people were freaking out. Love the ride and rode it multiple times since. But no lie that drop they did after they fixed whatever the issue was was by far my most “clinched” moments haha

@JeffreyMichaud Год назад

The lex Luther drop feel so surreal you fall for such a long time

@BrunoThePup93 Год назад

What I find interesting about Lex Luthor is that after riding it, you don’t get the airtime feels for like the next hour or two

What About the drop tower at King's Island?

@ThemeParkCrazy Год назад

Believe it or not, the drop on that one is only 272 feet despite the tower being 315 feet.

@CrazyMan_Engineer Год назад

@@ThemeParkCrazy When I asked i saw the height of tower not the drop at the King's Island website . So i decided to check Wikipedia and the drop for King's Island is listed at 264 feet (80 m) and the 272 feet (83 m) drop was king's dominion

As an Spanish I'm happy to see both Hurakan Condor and La Venganza del Enigma 😺😺😺😺 Btw Hurakan Condor is 98 meters and La Venganza del Enigma is 104

@RedPandaStan Год назад

im gonna be honest, and I know this is a controversial opinion, but length and speed aren't everything on a drop tower. I went on Lex Luthor drop of doom and if you aren't simply scared of being up that high it really is mid. The acceleration is slow so the forces are very gradual, it's the same reason why faster launches are more fun, they're more forceful.

The ride POVs for Falcon do not do it justice. Its an amazing ride you should go on at least once in your life.

I've actually ridden blue fall! Twice even!

I absolutely love roller coasters and pretty much any other thrill ride but for whatever reason I cannot ride a drop tower. The last time I went on one was a few years ago when my dad convinced me it wouldn't be that bad (it was only 99 feet tall) and I actually blacked out as soon as we dropped

Drop towers are my absolute worst nightmare and I thought I was safe knowing all these were in other countries until I got to #3 which is in Australia 😭😭

For the submechanophobia video as an honorable mention is The Tornado in Terra Magma at Bobbejaanland the ride recently opend on may 14th it would be fun to eddit that anomatric in the poll.

@passioderso856 Год назад

Crazy that I’ve written all of the European ones. We have amazing droptowers here. But still one of the most intense is high fall at moviepark Germany, with only 61 Meters.

And I thought that Playland's Hellevator was tall! It probably helps that the distance from the nearby city makes it feel taller than a lot of the buildings even though it isn't. 🤔 What a view from all of these though!

If you’re afraid of heights while you’re on a Tallest Drop Tower ride, Don’t worry, Just be brave and Hold to your mom and dad’s hand tight and Enjoy the ride!

La venganza del enigma or whatever it’s called looks a lot like power tower at valley fair. I was going to go on power tower but after 15 minutes I was still in the back of the line. So I didn’t go on it

@eliasvilje7155 Год назад

Amazing video but I'm sad that Ikaros on gröna lund wasn't selected it's terrifying 😢 I would never be brave enough to raid it because a thing in my past a fall on 3 meters as a 5 year old

I always had a fear of what would happen if the power went out while falling on a drop tower ride. My fears were resolved last summer when the power went out as we decended on the drop side of Power Tower at Cedar Point. The ride functioned flawlessly but we did have to wait a while for maintenance to come and unlock the restraints.

@davidfrischknecht8261 Год назад

With pretty much every thrill ride, the brakes are designed so power is required to keep them released.

@AnonymerPeter 11 месяцев назад

These towers work with eddy current brakes, which are based on permanent magnets. Since that, they physically can not fail.

@BamaRailfan 11 месяцев назад

@@AnonymerPeter I believe S&S uses compressed air for braking. The air is released at a set rate and controls the decent.

One that was not mentioned was the Drop Tower at Kings Island. The one at kings island is a 315 foot drop. :)
