Zumanjaro Drop Of Doom Stands 400-Feet-Tall, Will be World’s Tallest Drop Tower Ride

Set to open soon at New Jersey’s Six Flags Great Adventure, Zumanjaro Drop Of Doom stands 400-feet-tall and will be the world’s tallest free fall ride.
It consists of three free fall drop attractions, with each mounted to a lateral flank of the Kingda Ka structure.
All three towers feature a single floorless gondola seating eight-abreast. Before riding riders will queue along a new African baboon habitat. Riders are harnessed in by over-the-shoulder restraints. Catch cars hoist the gondolas up the tower before reaching a dynamic height of 415 feet (126 m). The gondolas are then released into a fast free fall descent, attaining a terminal velocity of 90 miles per hour (140 km/h).
