Giant Drop review by Teddy

by Teddy, 6 years ago
Rated 4.0 Giant Drop is the most thrilling attraction in Australia and is a very fun and intense experience. It features a long, suspenseful wait, 120 metres in the air giving you an amazing view of the Gold Coast, all the way to Surfers Paradise. There is minimal theming during the queue and the theming doesn't look well maintained. But overall, Giant Drop is a very fun experience.

Review Criteria

Enjoyment Amazing

Giant Drop is a very fun and intense ride with a suspenseful wait up 120 meters up in the air giving you views all the way to Surfers Paradise (if you ride on the east side of the tower).

Effectiveness Good

Intensity Very High

The 120 meter drop, after the long suspenseful wait, is really fun and intense.

Rider Comfort Amazing

Giant Drop is very smooth and there is not a single rough moment on the ride.

Pacing Amazing

Giant Drop is a very good length and the long exhilarating wait at the top and on the east side of the tower, views all the way to Surfers Paradise.

Theming/Storyline Average

There is minimal theming during the queue, which does not look well maintained and looks very old. Also, the broken machinery theming in the queue doesn't have any thing to do with the rides theme and probably wasn't around in the goldrush era.

Upkeep/Presentation

The minimal theming during the queue looks really old and not well maintained.

Queue/Efficiency Good

Giant Drop never has a very long wait, but for some reason, the queue moves very slowly.
