Falcon's Fury at Busch Gardens Tampa was the prototype Intamin Sky Jump. This ride opened as the world's tallest free-standing drop tower, standing 335 feet tall. But more impressively, it featured seats that could tilt 90 degrees during the drop for maximum thrills. But how does it stack up to the other drop towers?

It's one of my favorites, but I think I prefer Dollywood's, especially for the spectacular mountain views. But Falcon's Fury is a must-ride every visit for it's great views and the unique tilting, which does still give me butterflies. I have noticed that it's not the most powerful drop on my more recent visits.

My mom filmed me off ride the first time i rode this. The entire time shes having a panic attack and saying shes a horrible mother and scared that im going to die. When the ride tilts, you can tell by her voice shes practically in tears lol. Pretty sure she was in the middle of planning my funeral when i safely landed at the ground

Ive been trying to get on this for about 4 years and finally this week it was open during one of my visits to BGT. Honestly not as scary as I thought. I typically dont like drop towers but this felt more like the drop on a dive coaster, which I do enjoy.

I ride specifically for the view. I typically just walk by to go to Kumba. My friend is obsessed with FF, he has more rides than anyone on it for sure. I prefer the sitting up style drop (which you can get on FF on an evacuation drop), but I have not experienced this from the top, only about 50 feet up.

As someone who loves all type of thrill rides, I almost always skip drop towers these days because the feeling of not being able to breathe due to the power/intensity of the drop is something that I have ever enjoyed (especially on Intamin's 2nd gen drop towers). Luckily, I found Falcon's Fury's drop to be less intense, but far more fun because of this. It's still feels fast and the unique positioning of the drop makes it 10x better than any drop tower I have forced myself to go on. I wish we had more of these in America!

What is your theory on why there aren't more of these 90-degree tilt drop towers? Is it reliability? Cost? Popularity? Reading the other comments, opinions of the ride are less favorable than I would have expected. Love this drop tower. The drop itself may not be #1, but the anticipation/terror is.

I recommend starting with the shot towers that launch you up since they get you used to the height.

If possible, you can still go taller and taller sometimes. I started at 30m, then 63m, then 80m and then 95m. It's scary every time, and the anticipation is easily the worst part on the first ride of each tower, but building it up still helps it not to be too big a step to take

I would not recommend this ride if you are scared of heights.. a good intermediate drop tower to try though would be Lex Luther Drop of Doom at Universal (or some other “launched” drop tower). It is much smaller and doesn’t slowly lift you up so the anticipation won’t be as bad. Or maybe even something like Tower or Terror at Hollywood Studios. With that you don’t really see the height at all and it is mostly just the drop feeling.

The gondola never rotated on the ascent. This more than likely would've resulted in too complex of a ride system for what was already a prototype, given how much space the tilting mechanism takes up on the gondola.

It's honestly my least favorite drop tower in the state, unless you count the kiddie ones in the SeaWorld parks. Tower of Terror is the second best Disney World Ride, the Icon Park one is genuinely far more terrifying with how much higher & faster it is as well as the more free restraints and being kept higher longer. And I love Dr. Doom's Fear-Fall for it's very strong forces. Compared to that, the drop on falcon's fury is neat & the views are great, but facing the ground doesn't usually do much for me so it just feels lackluster

It was always the ride I had to ride but I was more scared of it than anything. I rode it a few weeks ago, and meh. You get to the top and it drops you, no weird clank sound, no jerky motion, they just drop you. I didn’t even think I was going to die once. You want to be scared for your life ride those evil swings at cedar point, yikes!
