Drop Tower - CWMania

Drop Tower is an all-out plummet of over 200ft! Riders are quickly hoisted to the top of the tower where they are treated to a fantastic and breathtaking view of the park and city. Just when riders are beginning to get comfortable with their surroundings, the gondola releases and freefalls until brought to a smooth stop by the braking system.
