Down Time

Manufactured by S&S Power
Installed in 2004

One of Lake Compounce’s most thrilling rides, Down Time stands 185 feet tall and pushes twelve seated riders straight down over fifty miles per hour. The ride is actually a turbo drop tower which means it has a semi-launch and during the drop riders don’t free-fall, they are pushed down. While boarding the ride, if there are any single seats available, an attendant holds a large sign and single riders can come forward, skipping the line in front of them. Down Time was originally installed in 2001 as part of the StratosFear Screamer at Visionland in Alabama.
