DROP

Not available

A "drop" is the thrilling downward plunge on a roller coaster where the track suddenly descends, often at steep angles or near-vertical falls. The clue plays it straight—no wordplay or tricks—just a direct reference to one of the most iconic parts of a coaster ride. If you’ve ever ridden one, you know that heart-stopping moment when the car tips over the edge and gravity takes over. The answer fits perfectly as both a literal and technical term for that adrenaline-pumping feature.
