I was curious what all the differences are between the most common towers on the road these days? ARM Super Shot, Chance Sling Shot, and Fabbri Mega Drop?

working on it, LOL. The arm's don't do anything in the midwest, people ride them once. The fabbri has the height and seems to get repeat riders

Yeah but, your Vertigo isnt a drop tower, is it? I know the swings make money, but the smaller drops are a different story.

Just from standing and watching, I don't see a lot of drop towers get repeat riders period, no matter who makes it.

Our drop did great when we got it. Over time the novelty seems to be wearing off.

Sling Shot is the only one (out of the 3) that lauches you up rapidly. However, it lacks the downward speed.

Super Shot doesn't stall you up at the top, unlike the other ones. Also, I believe that Super Shot takes longer going up. I think Super Shot might be the shortest of the three? (I might be wrong.)

Mega Drop is the one with the downward speed. I think Mega Drop might be the tallest of the three (again, I might be wrong, but then this is from perspective. These rides I rode less than 10 times this season).

You are correct.
