World’s most daring drop tower?

This coming spring, Busch Gardens Tampa will thrills to new heights when it debuts the 335ft (102m) Falcon’s Fury from Intamin, the first drop tower of its kind.

Riders will pivot 90º in mid air into a face-down dive position. An instant later they’ll plunge 60mph (97kmh) at 3.5Gs straight down with speed and power like they’ve likely never experienced before.

Construction on the ride has already begun in the Timbuktu area of the park. With no connecting structures, it will be the tallest freestanding drop tower in North America.
