Launch or Drop

Easy question which is the best experience on a tower ride?

Launch from the bottom

OR


Get to the top slow then drop suddenly

No one say Cliff Hanger cause I know thats both!

the drop has always given me more airtime then the launch. The best tower ride i've ridden was the discovery in mirabilandia. It kinda launches you down [pshades]

Great!!

I went for drop because of Huraken Condor!

drop because of Drop Zone Stunt Tower!

Oh yeah thats a good one!

drop at Knotts

I say drop becuse the best freefall ride that I have been on is the twight zone tower of terror at mgm studies in orlando it relly gives you good airtime when the car drops it is pulled down by cables it is an elvator freefall ride.

I thought that was not a drop ride because it bounces from floor to floor!

i would go drop anyday. much more of a rush i think. launches give u a rush too but its really short.

uhhh i like the lift its more anticipating essipically on drop zone 272 ft!!

Drop.

Drop are better. I like the anticipation factor of a drop.

powered drop=faster than gravity=max airtime and stomach-in-your-head

Drop. Even though I hate heights, the drops are still cooler.

Drop anyday.. Dungeon Drop at Astroworld is badass, too bad i wont be able to go on that anymore since they shut the part down :-\ But also, the slingshot rides w. the 2 bungee cords and the cage in the middle, that is AMAZING! What a rush that gives you, launch up and freefall down and going upside down and stuff... definately a good one

drop all of the way i like the drop on X , goliath , and on the beast

Drops, just because launches will always be launches, you can change how fast they go but falls will always be different, almost like they have a personality. Like when a band plays its first note, it leaves an
imprinted thought on your head.

i've only been on one and that's on supreme scream, and i must say it was awesome! so i voted for drop

i like the drop cause i love drop zone so much and the drop on some roller coaster are awsome u get more air time in drop then lift off

lol, somebody didnt read the rules.

lol but thinking about this dont you get a drop once you are launched up? Let me know if launchers actually get to go down, cause if so isnt that like 2 in 1? The only two ive been on are drops though

Yeah, you get a drop after launch (naturally). But with a launch, the drop doesn't have as much anticipation. Unless, after the launch it stalls for a bit, then that works.

Like Cliff Hanger thats a combination and its the best yet!!!

When I rode the launch side of Power Tower, I said "yeah, that was pretty cool". Then, when I rode the drop side, it was one of the first times I have genuinely freaked out on a tower ride. It felt like I was 500 ft higher than I really was, and I thought I was going to fal out. My heart raced, and I just sat and prayed "come on, drop, drop" sitting in anticipation as it stalled. Then, when it finally dropped, I just screamed my guts out and had more fun than I had ever had on a non-rollercoaster. Drop for sure! the anticipation combined with being 200+ feet up and looking down at the ground just kills you, while the launch is just kind of interesting.

i must say drop after going on apocolypse at drayton manor. on the standup you are nervouse but when it tilts forward slightly, thats magic.
