Apocalypse is a 54 m (180 ft) high freefall tower ride at Drayton Manor Theme Park. It was built by Intamin AG in 1999 and opened in 2000. The ride, which has been voted 'Britain’s scariest ride', It has three different forms of seating. One is the normal sit down, another is stand-up position, the world's only stand-up tower drop until 2005 when the Hurakan Condor opened in Port Aventura and the last one is a stand-up floorless which was introduced in 2002 and is known as the 'Fifth Element'. Riders experience 4g as they decelerate after falling 54 m in 4 seconds.
