I've been on Lex Luthor at Magic Mountain and was rather unimpressed. At 400ft. the view is amazing, but the drop wasn't as crazy as I was expecting.

The 300 foot swing at Old Town is pretty scary. You pretty much feel like your falling to your death lol

I can imagine, I feel like after a certain point the drop's height doesn't even matter, it all just feels the same. The difference between 400 feet and 300 or even 200 is probably negligible...it's all just a free fall after a while! Really, to me at least, the worst part of a drop tower isn't the height of the drop, because once you're falling you're falling and it doesn't really matter how long...the worst part is the suspense and anticipation as you climb higher and higher.

Power Tower's about 300 so you're already a pro :thumbs:

And I disagree that Intamin's are scarier, to me the smaller vehicles and scary pneumatic sound make S&S Towers muchhh more intense. At least on Intamin drops you have more of a feeling of security being in those huge cars. Though the face-down element of Falcon may completely take away from that.

I bet peoples reaction up top will be a mix of Sheikra's holding break and going horizontal on manta. A little kicking, some screaming and one total freak out. Where is the rotation point on your body, is it halfway so head down feet up or just a forward body lean?

It isn't the drop on this it is Dropping face down, That is the thing a seat drop is a piece of cake laying down is kinda of freaky.

Drop Tower at Kings Dominion was the most terrifying ride of my life so I can only imagine what this will be like!

I love drop towers and will definitely be riding this! The most intense drop tower I've ever been on is Drop Zone(now Drop Tower) at King's Island. The way you slowly rotate upwards and the rate at which you drop is pretty awesome. However, Lex Luthor at Magic Mountain was probably the most "scary". The drop itself is okay, but it's the climb up 400 feet that gets you. The sheer height isn't that bad, but what's creepy is that the tower actually sways. It's not on purpose, nor is it a lot, but it is enough to freak someone out, especially at that height.

I am sure it sways on purpose, as a relief, so it won't snap.
