I've been on Rebellion (Libertyland), Giant Drop, and Tower of Terror.
By far, mine is Giant Drop. ToT is nice, but it wasn't tall and the drops seemed to short. IMO, I think its better to have one massive drop than a few smaller ones.
From Giant Drop, you get an amazing view.
I get really nervouse and intimidated by drop towers, that's why I like them so much, all the anticipation adds to the experience.
So what's your favorite?

Yes, I get that also. Not as much as I would like, but I still get it! Out of the five I've been on (Maliboomer, ToT, Drop Zone, Double Shot,Superman The Escape) I would say I liked ToT the best. It has shorter drops but it has so many, and I really like the fast strong airtime. Not to mention the awesome theming! However, I really like Superman but it doesn't really feel like a drop tower to me, I classify it more as a coaster.

I've only been on Tower of Doom (SFA) and Demon Drop (1st Gen. CP). Out of the two, I like ToD better because you don't pull out of the drop so quickly like on DD. I can't wait for my Disney trip in two years!

^Disney Trip in two years? Sweet, I'm doing a Florida trip in two years from now as my graduation present. It's so far away right now though!

^That's my Disney trip, all 4 Disney parks and both Universals!
That'd be really cool if we ended up down there on the same days!

About ToT, I didn't get all "nervous" because I didn't feel like I was that high, and the door only opened for a second, but the drops were okay, they just didn't seem that big.

1. Power Tower Teal 2. Doctor Doom 3. Freefall @ SFMM
Those are the only three I've been on, though.

I didn't get to ride Dr. Doom, how was the airtime?

Long story short: I had a penny in my hand to see it float. We went up with no problem. RIGHT as we came back down, the penny SHOT out of my hand up and to the left. It landed on a friend, Gabby, who was sitting on the complete other side of the ride. The airtime is fun. However, it's only one shot. You just gently bounce after the one shot.

Only one? I thought it had at least two.

Naw, it's one launch up, one drop, and then slow, elevator-style bouncing.

Yeah. It's definitely not a very good use of time. Lines are usually slow and the queue area is extremely dark. At least I had a bunch of friends to talk/screw around with.

Is it indoor? ( the queue )

Yeah, pretty much the entire queue is indoors. There are only a couple switchbacks; the queue buiding is really big.
