AtmosFEAR is a 140-foot (43 m) drop tower designed by A.R.M./Larson manufacturing, located on the Surfside Pier at Morey's Piers seaside park. Officially opened in May 2005, AtmosFEAR creates freefall speeds of 50mph with a vertical acceleration upwards of three G's. The ride experience on AtmosFEAR features a very slow ascent, which is accented by custom designed LED lighting and an on-board sound system with thunderous sound effects. As the vehicle climbs, fog fills the air and without warning, the vehicle is released and literally forced downward by a special launch system that utilizes faster than freefall speeds. this is the 3rd tallest ride at Morey's Piers.
