Eye Dropper

Eye Dropper

A 200-foot drop tower at AREA15 that launches riders skyward and drops them back down beneath a giant LED eye, open daily from noon.

Eye Dropper, AREA15's Drop Tower

Eye Dropper is the 200-foot tower at AREA15 with a giant digital eye on top that changes with every ride cycle. It opened on June 20, 2026 in Zone 2, The Terminals, next to Universal Horror Unleashed. The ride mixes two programs, a launch upward and a turbo drop, at speeds up to 36 mph, with forces running from about 4 Gs down to roughly -1.2 Gs of weightless air time.

A full cycle lasts just under two minutes, according to a Las Vegas Advisor review, and that reviewer's complaint was the price per minute. You're paying for a short, hard ride. The same reviewer, riding at midday, suspected the tower's lights and sound land better at night.

Riders must be 4 feet to 6 feet 9 inches tall and weigh 80 to 300 pounds, fit the restraint, and be able to sit upright and support their own head and neck. Nothing loose goes up with you, and AREA15 has storage lockers.

Expectant mothers shouldn't ride, and neither should anyone with heart conditions, back or neck injuries, motion sensitivity or a seizure disorder. Guests under 18 must stay with an adult anywhere in AREA15.

Insider tipIf you plan to try more than one AREA15 experience, look at the Access Level passes before buying single tickets: the Access Level 1 pass includes a drop on Eye Dropper among its 17 experiences.
