STUCK on MASSIVE Drop Tower! | My Experience BREAKING DOWN on Falcon’s Fury!

Hey guys! So my family and I took a trip out to the Orlando area for theme parks and we ended up at Busch Gardens. If you didn’t know, Busch Gardens has a 335 foot Intamin drop tower that sends riders plummeting to Earth on their stomachs. Little to my knowledge, the day we went was windy enough to shut the ride down, and that very thing happened to us when we reached the top while I was recording. Stay tuned till the end of the video to see the raw footage! 😱🎢

Wow! I highkey wish i could ride it like that. I feel like the facing-straight-down aspect takes away from the drop feeling & especially with how it brings you back to sitting position halfway thru which slows it down. It just feels like a half-assed experience imo. Lucky you guys!

You definitely got a better ride then. The facing downward drop is nice visually from up high, but the drop feels like nothing/ doesn't feel forceful. Id love to get a sitting upright drop on FF.

I would have had a panic attack because you can't tell if it's broken in a way where you can't get down by riding. And you wouldn't know how long you are trapped and can't talk to the staff. Plus you have no way of knowing when it does drop if it's a safe drop or you are actually falling. I have severe claustrophobia issues so I would freak out being alone with my thoughts up there not knowing how long I'm stuck so a midair panic attack would be a literal nightmare.
