Enclosed drop towers

[T0M]

Forgive my ignorance, but do such rides exist? I'm thinking ones that are encased by a structure and are therefore in complete darkness.

A good idea if they don't already exist? Or if they do, what are they like if anyone has been on one?

If you don't count Tower Of Terror, then I know there is one, it's like in a big Castle themed tower, I think it's called Mystery Castle.

 

[Ben]

Yeah, they do exist.

Mystery Castle at Phantasialand. Of course, one could also argue a case for the Tower of Terror rides, but, Mystery Castle is a "proper" one.

And then there's Extremis and the London Dungeons, but that's only about 10ft.

How I hate living in the UK at times!!!

 

[Ben]

Why? Germany's like, a 50 minute flight...

 

[T0M]

Out of my price range! Even a short trip probably!

 

[Ben]

Then chances are you couldn't afford it even if it was at most UK parks

 

[T0M]

Forgive me, but the entrance fee and petrol costs to a UK theme park aren't going to compare to a flight, taxis, hotel and entry to one in Germany.

Gate price at Alton Towers: £38
Return transport and entrance to Plopsaland: £30

OK, so that's Belgium, not Germany... but you get the point.
