As it go's up and up and up, just keep saying I'm not that high, I'm not that high. OK I'm toooo high! - Ron Rip

Scares most people in the park, so lines are generally shorter than you may expect. A bit unnerving going up, but great fun going back down... The best part may be watching others looks of fear. - Byron Smith

Fun the first time, boring the rest. Don't override this one or you'll get bored quick. But it is quite fun to start so DO NOT skip it. 8 out of 10. - Jamie Rieger

I'll never ride this again after the same ride (built by the same company) severed off a young girl's feet about 2 years ago. Rode it twice before that and it's scary as hell without having to think about that. - Sean Mackey

im goin this summer like 3 times.....i might ride this - Glenn Sims

Although its height may cast fear inside you, the long ascent up the tower proves more frightening than the free-fall does itself. However, the drop does offer a good thrill and an abundance of continual air-time. One of the more major attractions located at Kings Island. - Ty Mullins

dude are you kidding totaly worth it sooo quick, but when its over you are just like "wow that was amazing" - kalb smith

This ride mayed my 6-year old sister sick and nausea and acctiondently throwed up on a bench somebody sat on and still had vometing in her body so we took her to the docter; had her belly and tempercher taken and after that, she throwed up again (in the bathroom on the toilet) and before she knowed it, she got bit better so we went home until tommoro. P.S Sorry for this long descripthion, (I had a story) But drop zone was good bye the way. - Alexandria james
