You start by getting pulled up a tower by huge cables. As you slowly move higher and higher you can see the entire span of the park. This is a great oppurtunity to get a great aerial photo if you want to. Once you reac the top you sit there for a few seconds anxiously awaiting your decent, not knowing when it will happen. Unexpectedly you are dropped until you hit the brakes and are slowly brought down to the ground. Rating: 9.5/10 Colours: Best Seats: It doesn't matter where you sit on Drop Zone beacuse it's a free fall not a coaster and everyone has the same experience. Queue Line Wait Time: There is normally a long wait for this ride due to it's popularity and it's long loading time, approxiamtely a 1 hour or more wait. |
