Stern Electronics, 1980It's time to admit the truth, I love drop targets, possibly more than anything else in pinball...
Check for your favorite drop targets below -- (and give a big thumbs up!) -- if it's not there...
Name your favorite drop target banks!
1) 1981 Bally Centaur: "O-R-B-S"
2) 1981 Gottlieb Black Hole: "B-L-A-C-K"
I think the fact that there are rules involved that reward you for hitting them in order makes them even more enjoyable...
Which are your Top-2 favorites?

Fathom's 15 drops take the cake.
1-2-3 that reward you for hitting them in order
3 inline drops to release a ball behind them
3 more inline drops that are sideways
a 6 bank of alternating blue-green. completing a color drops one of the inlines
Come on! That's just amazingly awesome!
Quick Draw / Fast Draw - Complete the banks, they come back up, and knock down leaving only the center 5000 target standing.
Jacks Open - Complete the card sequences towards Royal Flush. Targets reset and the Black Cards are knocked down leaving only the Royal Flush Standing.
Jumping Jack in the Box - Who doesn't like Clowns? 
Oh, Almost forgot 2001 with its TWENTY DTs!
Quoted from mof:Name your favorite Drop Targets!
Gee, I never thought of doing that. My favorite drop targets are the ones on BBB. If I were to give them names I'd start with the target on the left and name him "Lefty". I'll have to think about names for the others, though.

hahaha -- I have the jet bumpers on my Gottlieb Black Hole named: BAMF, SOB, FML, and the innocent one up top that actually helps score the 1-2-3 lanes, Buddy.

I named my favorite drops target Larry, Darrel, and his other brother Darrel. Although it seems silly to name drop targets.
i have come to enjoy hitting the 4 on my dr dude and actually try to hit them. at first i didnt care for them but the shot is kinda tuff as you sometimes need to use the slings to hit them.
Swords Of Fury: Love the timed reset of the upper playfield targets, taking longer to reset each time you knock them down, plus the chance of the ball dropping back down to the lower playfield if you happen to aim the ball where a drop target is already down, and of course hitting the roving jackpot target during multiball.

Agree... I like how the DT's reset individually
Laser Cue; drop em in order, or not at all! 
I will say I also enjoy the drop targets in the middle of the playfield...so Cactus Canyon & Defender.
Wondering which manufacturer created the best drop target titles, as confirmed by our most discerning Pinsiders... ?
The scientific results are trickling in... 33 machines in, we have our first set of data:

I second this one!
I was watching an interview with Python Anghelo the other day where he said that the Marilyn "suitcases" drop targets were never supposed to be suitcases, but pics of the 3 Kennedy brothers. You knock them down, and get to pick up Marilyn!

Fathom
Centaur
I have this stereotypical image in my mind that anyone who owns one of those games has all three, and has them all right next to each other. Maybe an Eight Ball Deluxe, too.
I'd love to be one of those people someday...
CC or any other titles with drops in center of PF as targets.
Followed next by any machine with good rules and inline targets. Really like Flash Gordon inline targets on the right side.
"N" on TRON LE. Right flipper onto that baby, pop it and bank straight up the middle of Gem. Oh there is no sweeter shot.
