Doctor Doom's Fearfall reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Doctor Doom's Fearfall, a drop ride in Marvel Super Hero Island at Universal's Islands of Adventure. (The minimum height to ride is 52 inches.)
Written by Jay Dunn (Look for the arcade located near the attraction for the single riders line with a very short wait.)
Readers' rating:
As towers go, the line is the best part of this one. - Skipper Adam 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 my mom my sisters and i love to ride this at least once and though it is not as fun and scary then tower of terror it is fun but not like tower of terror - Manny Rodriguez Slow, not especially tall and very disappointing. This ride, along with Storm Force Acceleration, are more like Fairground rides and seem out of place in the world's greatest theme park. - Ben Price the launch is the best part but after that it i a bit boring as the drop does not have the same thrills as the launch - Jack Ainslie It would be better if this was a drop! The shoot off is impressive but the rest just isn't good. Don't wait more than 10 minutes for this. 4/10 - D H Love, love, love this ride! It's not that amazing, really- but I love this type of ride because you can see the entire park, and sometimes hotels, from the top. Not for everyone that's for sure.. but worth a ride to see the views. - Terri Pierce Good, but certainly no Tower of Terror. - Glenn Davis Slow loading and not worth the wait. Skip it and go on one of the better rides nearby! Promises much, delivers little! - Mark Moore For no wait time, it is worth going on. *Note to parents, Child Swap is in the arcade next to it, up the stairs in the same direction as "single riders". We had a hard time finding it. But there are benches up there in the shade. The launch is fun, the smoke that covers you & Dooms voice make it enjoyable. But after that, just sit back & enjoy the view. My son was terrified to go on it, screamed the first launch then looked over at me and proclaimed that he was afraid of nothing. - Annette Hatch Nice view, but a bit of a yawn. - Brandy Schroeder It closed because of the rain I could not ride it. - LUIS MURANO Great shot off, but only lasts a second then nothing happens after that execpt a VERY slow decent back to earth....The theming and awesomeness of the shot off slightly redeems the shortness of the ride. Would waste my time if it was more than a 10/15 minutes wait though... - Samantha McCrae The anticipation is awesome, but it could be taller - luis m More attraction and restaurant ratings:
