Has this ever run during Haunt? Because if it does run and it reopens during Haunt, I am definitely going again.
Drop Tower
- Thread starter I305Evan
- Start date
Kings Dominion Fanatics posted pictures of Drop Tower recently testing.
Kings Dominion just posted on their Facebook that Drop Tower is making its anticipated return for winterfest!
More reason to go opening day cause by Saturday it will probably be broken again
Exciting news — not because I’m looking forward to riding Drop Tower again (although I am), but because this will be the first time since Winterfest began that we’ll have the opportunity to see all the lights from that high up. I’ve been wanting that 300 foot vantage point of the lights since Winterfest first started.
Maybe not a long stop at the top but you get the ride up to observe. I can't wait to ride it again. It's been so long. Top 5 reason for me to go to Winterfest this year.
Why do they make everyone sit next to each other on this? Last night I rode it and there were only 2 other people in line with me, literally 3 of us on the entire tower, and the ride ops made us all sit next to each other rubbing elbows the whole way up. Is there a real reason why this is required with no exceptions?
I don't know my but my guess is that it's so that an op doesn't fail to realize that someone is on the other side of the tower and then not check their restraint.
Weight distribution might have something to do with it too.
Also, I wonder if they’ll keep staffing this for all of Winterfest. It was a bit chilly on Sunday (not too bad) and from what I saw it would only cycle every 10-15 minutes if someone walked up.
I absolutely love this thing though and didn’t realize how much I missed it. We sat facing i305 and could see the Christmas light show up the road which was pretty cool.

My guess is that part of the reason for adding Drop Tower to the Winterfest lineup is to fill the thrill ride void while Delirium is still down.
So I’ve been terrified of this thing ever since I starting coming 2 years ago, but I decided to finally rip the band aid off and do it today.
Holy shit
This is my new favorite flat. It genuinely feels like an out of body experience. My mouth was literally hanging open when it ended and I had to sit down to process what the fuck happened

It’s my favorite drop tower! The drop has so much weight to it
Plus, it stops so close to the ground it’s shocking every time
