- I am almost sure that it is. I have looked at the drop from inside the track
- area, and I could guarentee that it is at least as tall as the lift hill, which
- I have had the unpleasant fortune to have run up the entirety of the lift hill
- to reach a stranded train ;-). I was not attacking you in any way, only that
- based on the knowledge which I have have from having worked at SFMM and
- specifically having worked at the ride for almost a year, as well as having
- access to the SOP manual for the ride, which lists ride specs, I know the drop
- to be 187 feet high. ACE can say whatever it wants, I have no beef with them.
- However, since I participate in this group, if I see information which I see is
- faulty, I will do so. The only reason I posted that was to improve on the
- information that you have, not to challange you.
