Right as you enter City Walk, you see the towers of Doctor Doom's Fear Fall towering over the entrance of the park. You enter the park and make a left, pass the Incredible Hulk Coaster and the very next ride you see is Doctor Doom's Fear Fall. It is located in a part of Marvel Super Hero Island known as Doom Alley. This part of the island is controlled by villains. You enter the ride and walk through the queue. Then you wait while they decide which tower you will experience. Doctor Doom's plan is to take over the Fantastic Four by sucking the fear right out of them for him to use. The ride operators tell you that you will go to the tower to your left. The vehicle on the tower has four sides and each side seats four, for a total of sixteen riders per vehicle. You stand in front of the number that the ride ops assigned you, and wait for the loading doors to open for you. You hear the screams of the people on the ride right now, and you fell your stomach turn. You also hear voices on the other side of the wall as the people head for the exit. The doors finally open for you.

You strap yourself in and hold on for your life. The doors close in front of you so you know the end is near. The voice of Doctor Doom comes out of nowhere, and you are slowly lifted off the ground a couple of feet. He starts telling you about his evil plan. "You are the last and final piece of my plan. Your terror, sucked from the very marrow of your being, will fill my fear fuel reservoir and make me the most powerful man on earth. Doombot, ignore all safety warnings and set for maximum extraction. Now, put your head against the headrest. I don't want to miss a drop. Prepare to be terrorized. You have served doom well. Thanks to you weak mortals, I finally have the power I need to crush the Fantastic Four. The triumph of Doctor Doom is at hand." You feel the vehicle slowly moving upward. All of the sudden, without warning, you are launched 160ft in the air and given an extremely good view of the park. You reach the top and get some great airtime. You experience a couple more shots in the air and then you slowly return to the ground. The first thought that comes to your mind when you exit the ride is "Can I ride again?"
