Simple but amazing. How can an 180 foot drop produce such a thrill. Actually how can't it? The lift hill creates suspense and the military environment puts you on edge. You reach the top and you can see the drop getting closer. Now you are over the edge, ready to drop: 3,2,1, free fall into the smoky pit. A simplistic but atmospheric approach, the free fall can be compared to nothing else. Alton's best coaster IMO
