Doctor Doom's Fearfall

Drop ride
Minimum height to ride: 52 inches

About Doctor Doom's Fearfall

A free-fall attraction, but without the theming of Disney's "Tower of Terror." Some great views of the park, though. Assuming your eyes are open....
(Look for the arcade located near the attraction for the single riders line with a very short wait.) -- Last edited by Jay Dunn

The queue is surprisingly well themed and creepy. Sets up the atmosphere for the ride quite well. The ride itself offers enough thrills to satisfy most, but is too short. Should add a few more ups and downs. I personally LOVE it despite its shortcomings. A truely Terrifying ride for those who have a fear of heights and falling. It's definently worth a try. NOT FOR KIDS. 8/10 - Dan Huffman

Slow loading and not worth the wait. Skip it and go on one of the better rides nearby! - Mark Moore

This ride isnt worth a wait longer than 15-20 mins. The initial shot up is a great thrill as is the inital freefall which provides a second or two of hangtime, but that last about ten seconds. The rest of the ride isnt really a ride, its just the slow descent back down. Really just a time-killer if you have nothing else to do. - Chris Shafer

the initial shot up is adrenaline pumping and amazing, but if you're looking for any thrills after that point, you'll probably be disappointed. nonetheless, this attraction shouldn't be missed during your trip. it's the best view in the whole park! - liz corso

Very short ride and incredibly long passenger load time. You can be forst in Express Pass line and it still takes about ten minutes from the time they wave you on to door #X to actually riding this machine. It's not nearly as good as the Big Shot on the Stratosphere Tower in LV, but it's great to go on at night. You can see the entire Royal Pacific hotel if you are facing the right way. My 11 year old likes it a lot. 7/10 - Noel Blackman

very good ride.. massivley underatted because of the shortness of the ride i myself was a bit dissapointed with this but still found myself very thrilled afterwarsds and would gladly wait it out in a line for this ride no matter how short it is because it does blow your mind when you ride it... maybe it should shoot you up twice just to make it a bit longer maybe it would get a better rating then - Rob Chandler

10/10. Awesome at night. But it is kind of disgusting with all the gum on the roof. - Nicholas Gammon

The "take off" is more fun than you expect and at the top you get some good air time. Plus the views are very nice. - Melissa Faulkner

One of the best free falls...the themeing is great and the moment of anticipation is unlike any other as Doom speaks to you directly. The view of the park is beautiful and even better when you are lookig out towards Toon Lagoon or the City Walk. Definitely worth a trip and wait, as the line queue is usually short as well. - Wilfredo Alvelo

This ride could have been so much more and is poor in comparison to one I recently rode at Port Aventura in Spain. The view is great but the ride is amazingly short and a real anticlimax - Emily G
