I have a old play structure in my backyard from when i was little. And it's pream for building a drop in off of. It's around 8 to 9 feet tall. But my question is, what kind of angle should I make it at? I want to be able to get the most speed out of it possible. Please input ur ideas, thanks guys.

put a transition kinda like a quarter pipe but not with too much vert so you can pole, but dont put a straight thing cause youll lose important speed

Usually a 75 degree angle works well.
