Drop Tower
- Thread starter I305Evan
- Start date
Someone on Instagram suggested that Drop Tower should be repainted this off-season. I think that's a pretty good idea, because not only does the ride desperately need some fresh paint, but it's also located right next to the entrance to WaterWorks, which is already being revitalized this season. What do you guys think?
I don't like that scheme better than the current one for Drop Tower. However, I'm all for changing it up when the time comes. Maybe they could paint it up like a gigantic cigarette. 
I find there is nothing sitely about Drop Tower's current paint job. Anything would be better, really.
it is the dripping dirty grease that bugs me. It just looks filthy. The oxidized paint is no joy either.
My friend said they rub lube all over it every morning. Like lots and lots of lube.

Not to mention the ungodly amount of insects that swarm the flood lights facing up the tower at night. I know that can't be helped much, but yuk.
Something should definitely be done, since this is one of the tallest attractions in the park and can be seen from many places in the park
Saw a crew of guys walking around with cameras today at the park. Apparently they were there for I305. Looks like they stopped by Drop Tower this afternoon.
I was in line for I305 with the camera crew and Katelyn, they wouldnt say what they were filming for but they filmed me going up the lift
Rode this thing twice Sunday.. Those were my first rides ever on a drop tower. What a rush. It took my breath away when it released. The anticipation of that release click was nerve racking. I counted how long it took for the release from the Delirium line to kind of anticipate it. Of course, he (ride op) started counting down from 10, but released around 5. I counted 4-5 seconds from stop at top from Delirium. Never thought I'd ride this thing, but glad I did and didn't get stuck! Peer pressure does work sometimes.
Is it typical for this ride to have multiple hangups (literally) during a weekend? Yesterday, it was stuck at the top at least 3 times that I saw it, with most of the time being 5-10 minutes from when I noticed. We were eating in Victoria's Pizza as it went up, then just sat there. Saw security heading to it from the restaurant. I was think about riding it, but with multiple times getting stuck at the top, you'd think that they might close it down to figure out what's wrong. But they kept re-opening after a couple test drops empty then it would hangup again later. I stay'd away.
