Mega Drop / Powerpark

Mega Drop is not as tall as many other free fall tower rides, but offers great negative G-force. When the ride begins, the 12 person vechicle is locked to the part above it and lifted via a cable to the top of the tower. After waiting for a while on the top, the vechicle is instantly pushed down with the pneumatic air, and you'll experience a surprisingly long sensation of free fall.
