Apocalypse is a freefall tower ride located at Drayton Manor Theme Park, England. ==Detail== The ride was built by Intamin in 1999 and opened on 27 May 2000 by girl band B *Witched. The tower has five sides, with each ride gondola holding four riders. It is themed as a science operation. The ride, which has been voted 'Britain’s scariest ride' features three different forms of seating: * Standard - Riders sit in a standard seat for the duration of the ride with a floor beneath their feet. * Stand Up - Riders stand up for the duration of the ride with a floor beneath their feet. * Stand Up Floorless - Riders stand up for the duration of the ride with no floor beneath their feet. In both of the stand up experiences, the gondolas tilt forwards to a 15° angle as they ascend. They return to a vertical angle as they drop. The Apocalpyse was the first stand-up tower drop in the world and it kept the title as the only one until 2005 when Hurakan Condor opened in PortAventura. The stand-up floorless variation was introduced in 2002, originally dubbed the 'Fifth Element'. Riders reach , falling in 4 seconds. In 2008 the ride received an Airtime Award from amusement park fansite CoasterForce.com, whose members voted it the "Best Thrill Ride in Europe". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Apocalypse (Drayton Manor)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
