Unlike the Space Shot pairs, I thought Power Tower's Turbo Drop twins weren't that great. The cars rattle violently when they reach the top and the descent is very weak. If you want to ride a REAL Turbo Drop, visit Supreme Scream at Knott's.

I think this is the scariest ride in the park, you're sitting up 240 feet in the air and you could fall at any second.

Well, i felt that Giant Drop at Great America was more thrilling than this, however, who doesn't like a really tall freefall ride?!
