RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
Haha, i've ridden it and it's kind of intense. My stomach was in my chest for a good part of it. I would totally ride it again to get my drop tower fix

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
The launch tower on top of the Stratosphere in Vegas is an amazing thrill. Tower of Terror is the most complete ride, with multiple drops and lifts, however, The Big One on top of the Stratosphere is the most thrilling and terrifying. You literally feel like you are on a rocket ship. With that said, just single drop towers are not that great or easy to theme. Mach Tower does a great job of sticking with a theme and i like the rotation to give you a full view of the park.

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
I've been on the Tower of Terror at DHS, but it is a drop tower. It's more fun because Drop Zone and Mach Tower only have one single drop. And the tower of terror, you're bouncing up and down! I did'nt get to ride Mach Tower because I was last there in April.

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
Yeah, the up and down is GREAT! That's why we all like Elmo so much (see previous page). Which is why I'm glad Zamperla makes adult verions of Elmo such as Sky Tower, Flash Tower, Sky Drop, and Z-Force (on the "More" page.)
BTW, BigBadWolf, welcome to the forums (and just a tip, in the future, try not to post in "dead," or old, threads!)

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
Honestly, I prefer Drop Zone. The rumbling is cool and all but not intense enough. The seats on Mach Tower are comfy but are incredibly small. Your shoulders totally get smushed. And Mach Tower slows you down wayyyy too soon. Overall, I think Drop Zone is a better tower, but Mach Tower really fits in with the park and is more intimidating than it looks.

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
We rode it a few times yesterday and it seemed to get more intense as it got colder. Maybe it was just a weird perception issue, but it definitely seemed more intense later.

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
I haven't been on either, but from what I hear from BGW and KD goers, Drop Zone is much better because It is taller and drops faster. Many of the people who do not like Mach Tower say that it hits the breaks much too early and the thrill is therefore limited. I'll be the judge of that when I visit both parks this summer. As for Tower of Terror, it was a good ride when I went to Disney seven years ago, but I think that both MT and DZ will be better.

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
Yes, it is and have rode it many times and it's fun. But, I have got my chance to ride Mach Tower myself. But, I can say you will get to see the whole park since it's spins around as it is going up the tower.
RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
I came across this dusty, old thread, and it intrigued me. I wonder if the majority if people would still pick Mach Tower over Drop Tower?

RE: Mach Tower vs. Drop Zone
Can somebody please remove Tower of Terror from the poll? I was pissed when someone added that in the first place...
Actually, while you're at it, maybe the third option isn't really necessary either. It would probably be better to make this an either/or choice.
Heck, go ahead and reset the poll for all I care. I can't possibly imagine why Mach Tower would prevail over Drop Tower, unless people prefer paperweights to functioning rides?
