Attraction Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom

The piece of metal you see at the top where the yellow skyboxes are is the crossmember for the lift cables. It's going to be an interesting feeling going up that tower and having it shake from the wind/trains passing by.

According to Great Adventure's twitter Zumanjaro should be completely topped off on Monday if the weather permits. It's supposed to rain all weekend and some areas of the state are expecting 2+ inches of rain according to the meteor men.

Honestly, that looks fairly small.

Yeah, 400 feet is definitely ant-sized.

I'm just saying the picture makes it see small.

You'll fall on your back if you look up from right under its base. That picture does zero justice for how tall the ride really is.

PR, rough comparison with Mach Tower. Paint-edition.

Saw this on instagram earlier.

Nice shot of El Toro in the foreground!

Prepare for a very long hike to get to and from Zumanjaro, the queue alone is going to be near a quarter mile long.

Great googly mooglies! The Queue length will also need to be entered into the Guinness books!

I can see it now, an entrance sign like this.

^yep^,,, but anyway it looked like the drop towers were racing, I'm pretty sure that is a purposeful element that adds a little, I guess competitiveness.

I realized that the Zumanjaro logo and the Griffon logo look somewhat similar...
