Then you sit at the top for a count of 10-13 and get dropped. We tried to count when we watched it going up before we went so we'd kind of know, it didn't work. While we were up there we did decide that we did NOT want to go on one of their other rides which happens to be the Worlds Tallest Carousel. It's more of those swing rides where you sit in the swing seat and go around a big circle, but it goes up to about 240 feet!
