Rode Power Tower once at Cedar Point and didn't like it, rode the side that shoots you up fast.

Once was enough LOL

I love rollercoasters, especially ones with loops and crazy turns. But I will always hate the drop rides. I just don't like the feeling they give me.

It's why the Dr. Doom ride is the only ride at Universal that I've never been on.

Nope

I'll do roller coasters but I hate the feeling of dropping. Not interested in a ride where that's the only thrill. I also have a bit of a fear of an elevator failing while I'm in it so something like the Tower of Terror is my worst nightmare.

Carnivals suck compared to amusement parks. I say this as someone who worked for a ride company who did fairs and festivals. Besides, I don't really trust most Carnival rides anymore.

King Da-Kah (sp?) is a HELL of a drop.

Only reason why I didn't go a THIRD time was because my poor brain needed a break from all the screaming.

Surprisingly enough, yeah, I really like them.

The only one I've gone on in recent years is Disney World's Tower of Terror, and the only thing I hate about it is that first sudden drop in pitch blackness after the creepy buildup. After that I have a ball (and on those rare occasions where the cart goes up first instead of down, it's an absolute blast).

tower of terror? i rode that. But it's not technically a drop tower cause it pulls you down, faster than gravity

I got stuck on one for like ten minutes. It's cold up there, but the worst part was not knowing when the drop was coming.

I should try one at some point. Usually, they don't appeal to me. Much rather be thrashed around on a roller coaster, such as Lightning Rod at Dollywood.

Yup. Went on Zumanjaro, too. Only did that once, though.

Seriously, once you ride Kingda Ka, nothing else will satisfy you.

Didn't get a chance to ride it before RMC...RMC'd it, which ran faster, from what I hear. But, it is a wild experience full of air time and high speed. Definitely ride it if you get a chance.

I like roller coasters, but not enough to drive to an amusement park and wait hours in line for one. Those tower drop things are not fun. I pull zero positive emotions from being on them.

They arent bad but not my number one. I actually got stuck at the top once when I was young and had to walk down the stairs on the side. That was far scarier on those stairs not really meant for customers.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Yeah that high it gets cold up there. It was a sunny day, but I forget which season. The ride has four carts(?) with four seats each for a total of sixteen riders. We all went up, but only three carts went down. Me and three others were left dangling over 150ft for ten minutes. The ride operators used a megaphone to communicate with us.

Suddenly we dropped. Shit was fun but scary. Especially since someone died on it years ago.

Yep. My first introduction to them was on the one that, at the time, was the tallest in the world (Dreamworld, Australia). I had no idea it was notable like that - it just seemed like a cool new kind of ride to me. Even the smaller ones are pretty fun, though.
