Superman Tower of Power

Introduced in 2003, Superman Tower of Power is the tallest S&S combo drop tower ride in the world. S&S tower rides typically operate one of two modes: the "space shot" mode where the vehicle launches upward, and "turbo drop" mode where the vehicle slowly rises to the top before freefalling. Combo towers like Superman Tower of Power combine the two modes, initially launching the vehicle upward before bouncing a few times and rising to the top leading to a final freefall. During the hot summer months, the ride typically only operates in the space shot mode due to the ride overheating if the longer combo mode is used.

The ride's massive structure tops out at 325 feet, while the ride vehicles typically travel to a height of about 245 feet.

LOVE THIS RIDE! Everytime I sit down on it, I get that stomach churning nervous feeling. And once lift-off takes place nothing but sheer fun and laughter! Deff prefer this to the nostalgic air plane ride of my childhood this replaced.

I love this ride! Very intimidating at first sight, but when you ride it once you will want to ride again and again! You will come out of your seat, guaranteed!

MY RATING: 5 stars
