This idea actually isn't too bad, but mix a drop tower and an observation tower into one, with the observation tower on top, they both lift, the drop tower drops, the the observation tower slowly comes back down (if you couldn't figure it out).
Basically replace the, erm, thing that lifts the drop tower with an observation tower.
I think Zamperla made a weird thing that looks like it's a starflyer and observation tower in one. The observation tower part is actually just a few seats with very big restraints that make them look like it's a free fall:
Although it looks like they removed the observation tower part of the ride a while ago... Looks like it was a terrible idea.
For anyone who's wondering what this ride is, It is the Vertical Swing at Wunderland Kalkar in Germany and it's placed inside the cooling tower of a nuclear power plant which was built but never opent.
