ToT ride variations

[dvm]

I've read about different variations to the ToT ride - 4, I think? This is my favorite ride at that park, but I haven't been since the coaster was added...

Is it obvious to the rider that the experience is different, or is it a subtle change?

What are the differences in each variation?

If I go in early in the AM during the extra magic hour, do you think I can ride more than once during that hour? Is there a singles line for ToT, as that would make it easier/more likely?

thanks.

If you go under ToT on this site and look under Tower Info, scroll down and there are some animations of the variations in all the different drop versions.

As far as I know.. there isn't a singles line yet.....

where do I find those animations? can you post a link?

sorry for not finding this easier, but your help is much appreciated

Right there.... scroll down about half way and the title is "New Drop Profiles".

thanks, that was a perfect answer to my questions.

I can't wait...

So you haven't ridden the new one? If you haven't, you're in for a real treat. I had a blast.. my fav one was the last one on that link.. where it goes up first and then almost all the way back down right after... I think that's the most thrilling.

I haven't ridden ToT since 1994/1995, so I know it will be much different, but even back then, it was great.

I really want to experience several of the drop sequences, so I hope to get several rides in during the extra hour in AM. Do you think this is possible?

Yeah, it's very possible. When I went I got all four combos. What I did was if there are others in your group have them all get fastpasses for ToT at the same time and if they don't want to ride it just have them give it to you and then you get to ride it even more. And sometimes the standby, if it's 40 minutes or less it's worth it... you get to appreciate the scenery more and it builds up anticipation... so whichever way, I don't think you'll have a problem with not getting all four. The random-picker thing seems to favor the ones that go up first though
