Falcon's Fury
2014 sees SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment introduce the world first face down- drop tower- Falcon’s Fury at Bush Gardens Tampa and to make the 50th Anniversary of SeaWorld, Sea of Surprises.
Falcon’s Fury
This ride is unique because it mimics the dive speeds of the fastest animal on earth. Standing 335 feet (102 metres) it plunges the riders 60mph straight down the ground. At the top of the ride, you will be spun 90 degrees to face down into your riding position. Found in Timbuktu, the ride can be seen from all angles of the park and across the Tampa Bay area. The ride will have no connecting structures and will be the tallest freestanding drop tower in America.
