Arrangement: Riders are arranged 4 per tower side for a total of 12 passengers per Turbo Drop accomodating 36 riders.
|
|
Notes: Here's a tip - hold out your arms & legs parallel to the ground, upon the drop this will enhance your free falling sensation.
|
|
Structure: While the entire complex is 325 feet, each tower is 312 feet tall, towering 75 feet over Knott's landmark Sky Tower and consists of three connected white steel towers with a pyramid-like top. Custom irridium lighting produces a varied colored array of the tower at night.
|
|
Elements: When all three towers are in operation this ride has high volume capacity. S&S always uses the uniqueness of compressed air in all of their rides & coasters.
|
|
Features: Riders are secured by over-the-shoulder restraints and seat belts in modular, outward-facing open-air seats that leave your legs dangling freely in mid-air. The ride to the top yields amazing views of the park and other attractions; at night the view is something else. Once at the top, there is a brief belch of air, then you are forcibly turbo dropped down a record-breaking 254 foot plunge in 3 seconds flat! After hitting bottom, you recoil halfway up before bouncing quickly & mercifully back to the launchpad.

Being my first Turbo Drop ride, I would have to say magnificent! Even the experienced thrill seeker will let out a yelp on this one. The first couple of seconds produce an incredible adrenalin rush. I rate it 8 's
I have rode this ride, not once, not twice, but a lot. Since i work at Knotts and i work as a ride operator for the supreme scream. It's a great ride when your tired and need a pick me up!
