I was referring to the fact that both DCA and DHS have Tower of Terror, however; I have heard that the one at DHS is better because it starts out as a dark ride through the hotel.

Wondering where Tango was in that list... Unless it's the same exact thing as "Equinox". That ride served a pretty startling experience. Anyone ever rode it? What made it so "scary" to me is being fastened to a giant arm that lifts you up to 70 feet in the air, then experiencing harsh negative g-forces while being twirled around really quick through twists and flips in virtually every possible way/direction you could think of. You'd think such negative g's would put so much stress on your harness to the point of forcing it open, releasing you to fall the 7 stories back to the ground.

At least that's how it was for me while riding it, I kept thinking - S***, I hope my harness keeps me fastened to my seat!

Real Thrills > Artificial Thrills

Enjoy the theme park thrills, but always push the limit where it counts. At the end of the day no one is going to be impressed that you went on a man made ride that thousands of other people have been on.

Yeah, Tango is more PAINFUL than scary, to me it is worse than a horribly maintained Vekoma SLC. Any ride that strands you 225 feet in the air for 30 minutes is pretty scary, I had that wonderful experience on Drop Zone at CGA about 15 years ago, and to make things worse, the people sitting next to me kept shaking the damn cab. Also, the ride ops did not tell anyone what was wrong with it, so, when they finally dropped us, my first thought was "oh poop! I hope it wasn't a problem with the braking system." Needless to say, I was happy when we made it back to the ground safely.

^^ Wow that flat ride just looks ridiculous lol. I'd try it once and I'm sure I'd enjoy it for a bit, but it goes on for so long that I think by the end I might get a headache. Could be ok though, since the forces are varied throughout...I don't like enterprises. Last time I went on one I was done for the rest of the day. Fun for a rotation or two, past that just made me feel uncomfortable and eventually made my head hurt.

yeah, I thought it was just something the designers of RCT3 came up with until I saw that coaster listed in RCDB. Same with the Tower Coaster, seriously, i thought that was RCT3's lame attempt at a Eurofighter when I first got that game.
