After weeks of thrilling lucky guests during a “soft open,” North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower, Falcon’s Fury, opened Sept. 2 at Busch Gardens Tampa.

“We know guests from around the world have been waiting to experience this one-of-a-kind thrill ride and we are excited to officially invite those guests to ride Falcon’s Fury,” said park president Jim Dean.

Falcon’s Fury stands at 110 metres and takes riders soaring 96 km/hr straight down. At the ride’s highest point, Busch Gardens has added an element of surprise — like its bird of prey namesake, riders pivot 90 degrees in midair to a face-down dive position. An instant later, riders “plunge with speed and power that they’ve never experienced before.”
