This is Drop Tower at Kings Island

As most of you ride this for it's rotation on the way up, most of you will be disappointed to find it's not rotating for the 2010 Halloween Haunt Season!

update: first day of 2011 season, it's rotating again!

  • why isnt it spinning

  • @TheMiiJacob

    There's a second motor that makes it rotate on the way up. Not sure exactly why this second motor is never working in the September and October months, some suggested it could have something to do with the cold weather, but I have noticed it's the time of year the park tries to save the most money by turning off as much as they can in the park to save on power, so it could be a number of things.

  • @KICincinnati The rotation is driven by the four arms that extend downwards from the catchcar, they have tires on the end that push the car around. Not sure about why they stop the rotation.

  • more and likley the park wants to save money or could be changing weather
