Giant Drop review by Richard
by Richard, 9 years ago
A great and truly world-class thrill ride that is let down by its slow queue and trashed theming and presentation. A small amount of refurbishment to the queue and some work on the ride's cycle time to make the queue move much faster could make this ride the signature attraction it should be.
Review Criteria
Enjoyment
It's impossible not to enjoy the view, the anticipation, the drop and the smooth but forceful stop at the bottom.Effectiveness
A ride whose name says it all. You can't fault Giant Drop because it's an incredibly effective ride.Intensity
No matter how many times you ride, those few seconds of free fall are about the most terrifying moments on any thrill ride anywhere.Rider Comfort
Perfectly smooth as you'd expect from an Intamin drop ride. Magnetic brakes make for a smooth but g-force packed deceleration at the bottom.Pacing
The time spent at the top of the tower really adds to the anticipation.Theming/Storyline
All that remains of the ride's original confusing oil well theme is a collection of damaged, meaningless junk.Upkeep/Presentation
Truly one of the most unpleasant queues you'll ever spend time in.Queue/Efficiency
Very low capacity owing to its two eight rider gondolas, and a long ride cycle that spends an inordinate amount of time at the top of the tower.More Reviews
