I agree w/ Tony. It is indeed an awesome ride but not worth a 2 hour wait as it sometimes can be. Defnitley worth going on though!

Just don't cross your ankles and fold them underneath the seat as my mother once found out.....

She freaked out...

I was like "Mom! You DO NOT want to do that on this ride!!"

I love the ride though...the whole "Wait a minute! Where's my stomach?" feeling is great!

Oh I'm getting antsy....man I REALLY wanna go!!!

Unfortunately my wheels are out of commission until I get new batts for it, and I'm not about to pay like 35-45 bucks (last time I checked) to rent a scooter at the park when I have my own...

Of course, I could just rent a straight up wheel chair and find me a tall skinny guy to push me around all day...I'm sure I could find some takers... :P

As any other "high-velocity-thrill-ride" Giant drop may look very freaking tall..but once your up there..It only seems at least 60 feet up..That's it. Not bad at all..It gives you the tummy in throat feeling..it's quite different.

How do you get sick on Giant Drop? Is there really any time to get sick? The drop duration is like 2 seconds. I personally think it was the "waiting in line watching it anticipation" that made you sick.

I agree with everyone who enjoys this ride.
Every time I go on it I have those 'butterflies'
Then as I fell it isn't that bad; great ride.
I always see fright on people; then as soon as they
get off the ride, their full of smilies. :P
