Ride
Passengers board Demon Drop at ground level into a four-person car that moves horizontally to the base of the tower. Riders are secured with over the shoulder harnesses. The car then climbs to the top of the tower in six seconds. Once at the top, the car slowly inches forward into the drop area. Without warning, riders drop 60 feet in less than two seconds of true free-fall before experiencing the deceleration g-forces as the car enters a pull-out curve. A computerized braking system slowly stops the car, which then the car drops under the track to go back to the station.

Misprizing what they look on, and her wit
Values itself so highly that to her
All matter else seems weak.”

They that are delivered from the noise of archers in the places of

But every son would have his motor cycle,
And daughters ride away on casual pillions.”
