I could imagine why! Falling 130feet and landing on your back has
little appeal when two of the worlds top-ten tallest rides are
nearby. 13stories is like climbing onto a sidewalk nowadays, compared
to 230 feet or 445ft.

It's probably just me, but, I feel more
of a thrill on the 1st Gen freefalls
than any of the others. Maybe it's
knowing the weird mechanical kludge
or something.
