Reader reviews of Drop Tower

This ride was done perfectely with all the thrills of falling 315 feet done in a few thrilling seconds, I suggest if you go to Kings Island that you should check out Drop Tower - Michael Hurley

Wow wait wait wait... Would you like to ride this? This was too scary! - Eugene Koh

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
