But in all seriousness if this tower comes out smoothly, it's gonna take the drop tower crown!

Totally uninterested.
Still angry were losing Sandstorm...a family ride for a thrill ride I'll never ride.
But most people would prefer this over sandstorm.
He really is. When looking at what Sea World is doing and what BGT has been doing over recent years, it really makes you question why Sea World is having so many problems. You'd never guess they're owned by the same company lately.Have I mentioned Jim Dean is doing a great job here...
Agreed. While it does have some family attractions, BGT is central Florida's thrill park; no doubt about it. Busch is clearly marketing SWO as the family destination and BGT as it's more adventurous brother. Both have animal encounters and kid friendly attractions, but SWO needs to be more family oriented to compete with the mouse and boy wizard, while BGT can be a little more over the top. That's what separates the park from the rest. Just my opinion.But most people would prefer this over sandstorm.
Which is why SWO is struggling imo. They haven't been able to succeed at anything besides animal shows/encounters and thrill rides. Turtle Trek and Antarctica, both aimed for families, have been panned by many, and a big reason why I haven't been back in years, and I they had me wanting to go for Antarctica.Agreed.

I thought of that concept for a drop tower ages ago but I never taught it would work. Will this thing have leg restraints like flying coasters or will your legs just be dangling when your up there? :happy:
That's what I thought of as well. I would assume that, with it being a 90 degree drop, there would have to be leg restraints like Manta. It would be pretty uncomfortable otherwise.From the looks of the restraints(of course, just concept art) It appears very similar to the B&M Flying Coaster type restraints one would find on coasters like Manta.
