At SFOT, you cant miss this ride, as it dominates over the environment. Frankly, though, the visuals are the best thing the "Tower Of Power" has going for it. The views from the top of the tower, while waiting for the inevitable fall, are simply breathtaking. Riders are given a wonderful birds-eye view of the entire DFW Metroplex and, unfortunately, thats the rides most redeeming quality. Although the rare "Pop & Drop" function is utilized, putting together the best of both worlds, the forces are non-existent, especially during the second halfs drop. The fall felt frustratingly controlled, and Ive never experienced this on another S&S tower. The rig seemed to fall very sluggishly, even from 320 ft. in the air. Not good. Honestly, S:TOP didnt deliver like I wanted it to, and sits near the bottom of the list of drop towers Ive ridden.
