Timber Towers are tame, yet nauseating to me. They are kind of neat to look at. The one at Dollywood has fantastic theming and water effects to really make it more interesting to watch. Knowing that, Bubba and I didn't even bother with the one at Marineland.

Aside from fearing for my safety, I really like the newer Intamin drop towers, but nothing beats the old ones. They are still about the scariest ride out there IMO. Too bad there is only one left in the US (Demon Drop at CP). I'm fortunate to have ridden seven of them and never took them for granted. When I found out Six Flags was removing all of theirs, I was very bummed. :(

The S&S drop towers are just a bore. Somehow they feel completely controlled and more like a fast elevator ride (akin to the Parachutes) than a free-fall experience. Their short shot towers like Indiana Beach's Double Shot are very forceful and fun though.

What about Timber Towers make them merely ok? I mean, the tipping alone should be plenty thrilling. I guess it is possible for it to be like our very own erUPtion, where it looks pretty intense, then you ride it and think "that's it?"

It just leans to the side. It's so gentle. There's no feeling of danger. There's nothing to it at all.

Oh, well that too. I've heard those rides are capable of some really thrilling experiences, but GAdv seems to have theirs on the family setting. ::)

I like demon drop as well.

OK I think i've only been on S&S drops but i'm not sure, and too lazy to research. I've been on Canada's Wonderlands, Dorney, Cedar Points, Waldameer... and I think thats it. All S&S? ohhh and where can I find one of these int. gyro drops?

Morey's ride is probably the most thrilling of them all. It feels like you're going to hit the ground every time. The Intamin drops always hit the brakes right before I feel it's too late, but the ARM models go just beyond that point and then have a much more intense braking. The S&S towers lose the free-fall sensation almost immediately, not even half-way down the tower. The kiddie drop towers by Mosier are more thrilling than that.

LOL  That is why it so good! If a ride doesn't thrill you, what's the point?

Wasting the money to ride it. I wouldn't spend the money to ride Eruption at SF anyway.

My wish has already come true! Great Adventure has agreed to take my idea to re-theme THE DARK KNIGHT Coaster! The new theme is CLAWS. An idea that i had about a new thret to Gotham City. His name is Claws and he has a claw for a hand. His evil nightmareish plans to destroy Gotham City have come true! Claws has turned Gotham City into his twisted playground. On the ride, guests will face 3 of Claws's deadly traps, just miss the city's most dangerous obsticals.

Yes nitrorox1414! I think 2010! If not 2011. However, Fright Fest will be all themed to Claws in 2010! Look at the Fright Fest Improvments page to read more about Fright Fest 2010 with Claws!!!

Probably not. by a guess: 99.9999999% chance it won't
