Frog Hopper at Buffalo Bill's Review
As any parent knows, children are fearless and often want to go on the daring rides that adults tend to be more apprehensive about. Unfortunately, those pesky height restrictions tend to get in their way. Primm Valley Resorts has the solution to this problem with the Frog Hopper.
In this miniature version of the Turbo Drop, Frog Hopper stands 30 feet tall and allows children to experience about 60 seconds of free-falling in a seven-seat car containing one adult seat.
Riders are raised to the top before being dropped swiftly to the base. The drop is followed by several bounces in short spurts up and down, similar to that of a hopping frog. Children, as well as adults, are sure to enjoy this ride.
