With all of the space that park has, why get another drop tower? What they really need is a large terrain woodie or any rollercoaster. It's not like they are pressed for space.

I don't think the Topple Tower actually drops. Its just more of a kiddy/family ride that raises you to the top of the tower and tilts side to side and then lowers you back to the ground.

But yes, if they were to build a terrain woody it would be heaven. With all the space the park has, they could build almost anything! [:D]

A topple tower is no drop tower. This just lifts you up to the top of the tower. You start rotating and the tower starts to topple a few times. I haven't ridden anything like this myself so I don't know how fun or how lame the ride is.[:D]

They don't really install kiddies rides year after year. Only two years ago did they install the triple S&S towers, hardly a kiddie ride.
The parks main focus is also not really on its rides, but on the animal exhibits and building of its aquarium, which when finished will be the biggest in the world.

According to the video on the official Huss Rides website it looks to me that the topple tower ends up at about 30 degrees prior to the floor.

Can anyone confirm that 'Marineland' has the worlds TALLEST shot tower, im thinking it must be it fooking huuuuuge.

They aren't the tallest towers, the stats on Marineland's website also include the 100+ foot tall hill that the towers sit on.
