Nice to see that the rides aren't going to waste.

Great, one more ride for SFDL to not get.

What's that? The "How many American flags can we stick in one place" competition? . What is even the point of that? Just the one flag is bad enough.

How tall is it?

It is 230 feet tall, counting the huge tower thngy on top, I think.

Those of you near SFStL are lucky... that particular drop tower is the scariest sit-down one I've been on. I can't really put my finger on WHY... I've been on many that are taller, but none that make my knees turn to jelly like this one. The only tower I've been on that was scarier was the standing drop tower at Warner Movie World in Germany.

I just hope that SFStL can get it to run more reliably than SFAW did. I don't think I ever saw all six cars operational at the same time.

Good, I like freefall drop towers. But I dont really like these colors...

Latest News;
Six Flags St Louis has recently announced that they will be adding 10 new rides to the park, as well as making many more improvements including the addition of new characters that will roam the park.

Now why in the world are they putting a hero themed ride in the Illinois section of the park? At least name it properly. Now I just sound like CK...

I don't like freefall towers... and this one in WBMW Germany was the only tall one I've ever tried, so that was in fact VERY scary[xx(]

I love freefall towers but the ones that blast you up I dont think you get the same felling as the ones which go up slowly.
