Drop Tower

What goes up must come down – and down, and down, and down at incredibly dizzying speeds on the Drop Tower, among our guests’ favorite rides. Your Drop Tower experience begins by strapping into an open car, feet dangling, and spending the next tension-filled seconds ascending 174 feet into thin air to the peak. On a clear day, you can see for miles over the Carolina state line, but trust us, you won’t enjoy that view for very long. Before another thought can enter your brain, the ride releases and you drop -- you plunge -- you are completely emptied into a free fall of over 100 feet in seconds, reaching frenetic speeds of up to 56 miles per hour before the brakes kick in and – did that really happen? – you’re at the bottom and back to normal. But, know this: after riding the Drop Tower, you’re never truly normal again. Guests must be 54" tall to ride.
