Let's say that Drop Zone at Paramount's Kings Island was extended 400 feet, so that the tower would then be about 700 feet tall. While the tower would grow, the magnetic "brake run" would stay the same. If the ride were to operate, and reach a terminal velocity of around 120 MPH, would the brakes that are currently on the ride be able to stop it? I was wondering if there is a ratio between the height of the tower and the length of the "brake run."
