Best tower ride in UK 2021?

[tynemouthsurfer]

With the only Intamin drop tower in the UK, Apocalypse at Drayton, operating but up for sale. In addition CwoA shiny new thing for 2021 in Croc Drop - we could be at a crossroads for UK tower rides.

I am not a flat ride fan but always seek out tower rides (even if just for a good view of the park). Which is your favourite?

Love Detonator personally. One of the only rides that still scares me, the drop is brutal.

Apocalypse a very close second.

Detonator by a country mile. It is my favourite drop tower, period. The 'push' it gives going down just makes it so forceful and intense. It feels like a launch downwards rather than a freefall. Honestly the Intamin ones feel tame in comparison tbh.

Jolly Roger - Pleasurewood Hills is a beast.

I’d personally vote for Venom at West Midlands Safari Park, which isn’t actually in the poll… Detonator at Thorpe would be a close second for me. I just love the raw punch of those Fabbri towers!

As a self proclaimed drop tower enthusiast I don't think anything comes close to the stand up side on Apocalypse. It's by far the most refined, pure sensation of falling out of any drop tower i've ridden. It's probably the best ride i've ever ridden in all honesty. Though I have to say, Venom at West Midlands is a close second. It's like Detonator on steroids. The drop is ridiculously intense!

I'm also gonna have to say Detonator, from the ones I've ridden. That drop literally shags my entire body all over and I love it.

Cliffhanger is the best S&S tower I've ridden though.

Umm - and where is Magma?

Apocalypse any day. Detonator might have a more forceful drop but doesn't compare to the fear from the tilting drops. Ice blast is a pleasant 3rd imo.
