I'm legitimately scared of drop towers but don't mind coasters, anyone else?

Surprisingly two of my favorite drop Towers include ones that just top 100 feet. Shore Shot at casino pier has a fantastic view of the surrounding beach and ocean with some insane pops of ejector airtime, and same thing goes for double shot at Castaway Cove. I’m also a huge fan of the drop tower at Knoebels, that drop has to be the most insane drop in terms of airtime, but Zumanjaro takes the cake for craziest drop simply for the length

theres a drop tower at an amusement park in Oita pref. here in japan that used to play a “we are experiencing technical difficulties” speech before dropping, they haven’t done it for a few years now but i haven’t trusted a drop tower since

I just wish I could look out from the top of zumanjaro and see that beautiful arrow mega looper that once stood at that park

Surprised to not see a first generation Intamin tower on this list! Demon Drop will always be my favorite tower of all time.

I'm surprised Falcon's Fury is so low

Nice list! I have some towers to ride. I agree that Zumanjaro is more about the anticipation with a weaker drop. I was surprised to enjoy Acrophobia with its unique seats and tilt, both new for me at the time. I was very surprised how forceful the ejector air was on Liberty Launch at Holiday World, slightly painful for my shoulders and large frame. A much more enjoyable shot ride is Power Tower at CP.

Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns is by far the best drop tower Ive ridden, it is such a great experience. The only other ones that really comes even close to it is the one at Phantasialand and the small intense Larson drop towers

I wish the Intamin First Gen drop towers made it on the list. I got airtime, a dropping sensation, and high g-forces on the tight pullout. Plus it's sketchy as hell which adds to the thrill in my opinion

The Giant Drop at Dreamworld is also a great one if you ever travel to Australia. It was the tallest in the world at 119 metres from 1999 to 2012 beaten by Lex Luthor. Also Hairaiser at Luna Park Sydney is fun too

you are right about High fall, the tilting was shut down a few years ago. I don't know if it even still works...

My favourite drop tower is the one at Canada’s Wonderland - it had great views and airtime.

That one at Hansa Park is so huge

Great list! Liked this video a lot! Going to kings island this weekend. Hoping to be able to go on all the drop towers on this list at some point in my life

Awesome video!!! Loved seeing our video featured! Keep up the great work!

The slow ascents are probably what freaks me out most with drop towers, Highlander looks simultaneously amazing and horrifying lol. Was pleasantly surprised to see Guardians at #1; I do prefer Orlando's ToT for its variety, but Guardians is like a party in a malfunctioning elevator. While not the most intense rides, I really enjoy S&S combo towers as well due to the longer ride times.

My favorite sensation on rides is the stomach dropping feeling and that's why I love drop towers more than coasters

I love Lex Luthor Drop of Doom, Guardians of the Galaxy/Twilight Zone Tower of Terror and the Big Shot. Another I have loved are the first generation Intamin free fall towers. I have been on the one that used to be at Six Flags Magic Mountain several times, and Demon Drop once when it was at Cedar Point. Those ones drop like a dead weight. They feel sketchy too, because you suddenly come to a screeching halt before flying off the end of the horizontal track. Another drop ride you need to check out if you haven’t is Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. This is the world’s only underground drop ride which actually starts at the top. It drops you 110 feet down the mine shaft which is pitch black. The brakes kick in about halfway down, but the darkness and wind and sound effects give the illusion of speed even when slowing down.

I loovee Acrophobia!

I almost had the Chance to ride Drop Line at Dollywood but I chose to ride Thunderhead but by the time I rode Thunderhead, the line for Drop Line backed up and we didn't time to ride anything else after that. it would've given a great view of Dollywood

I'll be Taking my 1st ever ride on LEX LUTHOR at SFMM later this year in July. Cant wait. Also, what's the name of that Beautiful Music in your video❓ Thank You. Great List of Drop Towers and keep them coming. 😎👍✌

I never got ride Pitt Fall. It was removed from the park two years before my first visit. I really want Kennywood to build an Intamin Sky Jump like Falcons Fury in Volcano’s spot to pay homage to Pitt Fall, but to also create a new and unique experience for park guests.

I've never been to Great Adventure and I've only seen videos of Zumanjaro. I find it hard to believe that there's no stomach sensation since I get nervous merely watching the videos.

I absolutely love coasters but I’m so scared of drop towers. The only one I can handle is tower of terror Disneyland Paris lol

I may be biased but I think Sky Diver at Castles and Coasters is underrated and is easily the best ride at the park and it gets me every time. I personally think it can even be better than Lex Luther at times.

What kind of drop tower is the current one at Kentucky Kingdom? Is it the type mentioned here as number nine?

Nice list man. When I rode Highlander this summer it tilted, but then went back to level before dropping. Also have you ridden Donjon de l'Extrême? I really enjoyed them both.

dreamworld has a good drop too. it used to have tower of terror on one side too but that closed down

I just want to BGT today and falcons fury is insane

Huracan Condor standing tilt floorless is the scariest thing ive done in my life. Its crazy

I'm surprise not to see the Fabbri rides Mega drop. Small comparing to others (40meters) but amazing sensations. Also something to mention is the views you get from Huracan Condor while looking at Shambala and Dragon Khan😍

Ive ridden falcons fury, lex luthor, and acrophobia. Acrophobia was surprisingly super intense and awesome. I was surprised it was more intense than lex luthor which is like twice the height and speed. Lex luthor though you gotta love the meniacle laugh right before you drop. That made the experience.

If you ever get the chance, come to Colorado and get on the Haunted Mine Drop in Glenwood Springs! It's my personal favorite ride I've ever ridden.

Yes I do agree 100%

Icon Park Orlando, the park with the world's tallest star flyer, is also getting the world's tallest drop tower (also made by Funtime), so I wonder where that will place in your rankings.

Have you ridden glen wood caverns haunted mine drop? I’d be interested in where you place that

Did you go on the one at Gardaland? It's a very tiny intamin single car tower, but it packs a lot of punch, even more so than the taller versions from intamin or the highfall-model. Other than that the Fabbri towers are not very tall, but super intense. I think I heard that that there the gondola is being shot down with some sort of mechanism.

Detonator Bombs Away At Thorpe Park Has So Much Airtime Surprised It’s Not On The List. Your not in your seat on the drop down!

Overall, do you prefer airtime on coasters or drop towers?

wow im surprised zumanjaro even made this list, it feels more like a sped up elevator rather than a drop tower, plus the views arent that good and cuz of the dumb state law u cant get a swaying ride which literally defeats the propose of putting it on kingda ka, zumanjaro proves stats dont matter, which is a common theme within the park cough cough nitro

9:13 Also if it's quiet enough, you can hear the motor lifting you up wind down under a second before dropping.

10:03 this is hurakan condor, not indiana adventure

What about the giant drop in dreamworld Australia?

Mystery castle is so cool because you can see each other at the top

Oh man, Pitfall was so good.. I was so lucky to ride it.. I reckon if you tried the giant drop at Dreamworld in my home country it would be in your top 10. It's more forceful than the giant ones in California and New Jersey whilst not being that much smaller. Do let us know if you ever visit..

The best drop tower I've ridden is GOTGMB, more specifically, the Halloween version of the ride.

Nice list!

have you done the giant drop in Australia people have said it is the scariest drop tower in the world

Mystery Castle all the way :D the voicelines that are played during the ride are Kind of famous in the German community

Haunted mine ride at Glenwood adventure caverns. It’s still a drop tower, underground.

The only 2 towers I've ridden on this list are High fall and Mystery castle. I'm scared of drop towers so I don't do them very often.

The fair drop towers are something else though

Not the biggest fan of drop towers but I did love Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns

When it comes to thrill rides, drop towers are the only rides I don't always have the courage to ride. But of all the ones I have ridden, some of my favorites include The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney's Hollywood Studios and the former one at Disney's California Adventure as well as Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom at Six Flags Magic Mountain. What was the reason for the removal of Pit Fall at Kennywood anyway?

I made my top 5 drop towers vid a while back, amd Gardians of the Galaxy was also my number 1! It rocks!

I don't understand how you didn't get a stomach dropping feeling on zumanjaro. Did you ride it early in the day?

How is the drop part on the mystery castle one? Is it stomach dropping or slow like the other space shot versions?

Wow, Supreme Scream didn't make it? That is taller than tower of terror.

Honestly I feel like a lot of these are way too low and others way too high. I personally despise Acrophobia and Mach Tower. The drop towers I’ve ridden ranked: 1. Highlander, Hansa Park 2. Falcon’s Fury, Busch Gardens Tampa 3. Drop Line, Dollywood 4. Tower of Terror, Disney’s Hollywood Studios 5. Drop Tower, Kings Dominion 6. S&S Double Shots, rode one at Indiana Beach 7. Drop Tower, Kings Island 8. Some obscure drop tower owned by Belle City Amusements, possibly ARM? 9. Larson/ARM Drop Towers 10. Slingshot, Adventuredome 11. Drop Tower, Canada’s Wonderland 12. Drop Tower, Carowinds 13. Mach Tower, Busch Gardens Williamsburg 14. Doctor Doom Fearfall, Islands of Adventure 15. Kid drop towers 16. Acrophobia, Six Flags Over Georgia

I love the S&S Towers the most the Larson ones are the most scary

Now that Zumanjaro and Kingda Ka can run at the same time it feels even crazier

lol gotta get through em once a year come on you signed yourself up

Where is Haunted Mine Drop at Glenwood Caverns?

port aventureas the best one

To Canobe Coaster, I know it's No Longer Standing and that the ORLANDO FREE FALL was dismantled due to the Tragic Accident of Tyre Sampson, early last year in '22, but did you by any chance get a ride or 2 on that before that boys Death❓️🤔 And if so, what was your take on that Drop Tower❓️ 75 mph just doesn't seem very fast for a Drop Tower. That in mind, does the Tilting feature on other Drop Towers, is the reason they can't Drop at 85-90 mph because of gravity and the breaking systems in place❓️ Thanks.😎🌴👍

love Indiana Adventure, too bad Cinecittà World as a park has been abbandoned by its owners. After the first couple of years they simply gave up and they haven't done anything new with it, all the good (few) rides there opened with the park. When the biggest new thing you have for your park in almost ten years since it opened is a crappy water park with a couple of slides you know you screwed up.

Just working where you put mystery mine drop at glen wood caverns

How is highlander, the highest giro drop with a super cool tilt not higher

Id swap Gaurdians and WDWs Tower of Terror but I'm glad and shocked that the Disney towers got the top 3

"on one side, you have the glitz and glamour of the casinos, and on the other side, you have the hood."

why does Groana land have so many drop towers?

How is Mach tower better than zumanjaro lol?

have you ridden all of these?

My Favorite ist The Highfall 🤩

RIP Pitt Fall 😔

I expected Falcons Fury to be way higher than it was.

Lex Luthor is outstanding 😍
