Pitt Fall was a drop tower ride located at Kennywood amusement park in the Pittsburgh suburb of West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. When it opened in 1997, it was the tallest drop tower in the world. The ride was manufactured by Intamin and is known in the industry as "Giant Drop". In June 2011, it was put for sale and was bought in early September to an undisclosed buyer. It was replaced by Black Widow in 2012 ==Rider experience== Riders take a seat and pull down their safety harnesses. After the "all-clear" is given, the seats lift off the ground and begin to ascend to the top of the tower. After clearing the brakes, the seats pick up speed, reaching 12 mph. The riders are held 229 feet in the air for several seconds, after which the ride vehicle is released from the couplings. This causes it to free fall nearly 150 feet at 65 mph. The ride vehicle is stopped by magnetic brakes. Afterward, the riders release their safety harnesses and exit the ride. 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「Pitt Fall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
