Drop Zone Stunt Tower
Filed under Thrill Rides on Feb 24, 2006

Drop Zone Stunt Tower, once the world's tallest gyro-drop ride, features 40 riders that face outward on a ring that spins counterclockwise as it ascends the ride's imposing tower, then free-falls back to the ground with a rush of air, and a surprising amount of speed. Found in the park's Action Zone area.
Lifthill comments: Drop Zone is an imposing ride, and you can feel pretty worried when you reach the top of the tower and seem to be looking directly over at the park's icon, the Eiffel Tower. Add in the fact that you are also towering over the Son of Beast, and things can get pretty exciting. Pure adrenaline.
