An Intamin drop tower is something I should do before I die.

And from the looks of it, it'd be about 3 seconds before I'd die.

Great update, Robb.

BTW, whatever happened to the boat jumpers? Did the park decide it was too unsafe, or did the park's lawyers decide that for them?
This is my signature. Deal with it.

^ I don't know. There was never any explanation about why they are gone. It's so weird because they seemed to be like a "big deal" when they were there.

Loving these updates Rob. Thanks.

But you think Blue Fall is big... you still need to experience the Giant Drop...

^^^ I agree with mickey. Giant Drop experience is INSANE! and when your on it. Tower of Terror is running right next to you. Imagine being at the top of Superman The Escape Tower. And Dropping that whole way. Then you've got Giant Drop. TPR Australia trip would be small but good.

Best Drunken Barrels of Death ride ever! This really is an awesomely fun ride at Sea Paradise, and I don't understand why more parks haven't kept or installed them.

I appreciate the update Robb!

Wow, it looks like you have had a lot of fun in Japan.
I just got back to NZ after 5 weeks of homestaying in Japan, no themeparks though. It was completely awesome though, got to see some amazing things.
I hope you got to do some sight-seeing aswell, I saw you went to Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, I went there in July last year and thought it was amazing, and you got to go to Shibuya, I was there about a week ago and it was completely crazy, but I loved it!
The time I went to Japan in July last year, I did go to Disney Land and experienced some lengthy waits, but then after I found out it was the first day of summer vacation and it had been one of the busiest days on record, hehehe but still I didn't experience anything like you did at Fuji-Q (I still can't believe it's Japanese, they are generally so effiecient and hate to wait for things!).
I enjoy your posts very much, and makes me want to go back to Japan, even though I got back barely 3 days ago, hehehe.
Thanks, Aye.

When you're up the top it drops you a few metres, then drops you the rest of the way. So your like Ahhh WTF??? AHHHHHHHHHHHH :airtimer: :elissa2:
Giant Drop at Dreamworld used to do it, but they took it out.
