Busch Gardens Tampa is thrilled to announce that the popular drop tower ride, Falcon’s Fury, has officially reopened on April 12th. After almost a year of being closed for inspection and maintenance, thrill seekers can now experience the exhilarating 335-foot plunge at 60 mph face first at a 90-degree angle.
The ride was originally closed for inspection after the tragic death of a 14-year-old on the Orlando Freefall—a similar drop tower attraction—last March. At the time, a Busch Gardens spokesperson told the Tampa Bay Times that the ride was closed due to supply chain issues and needed parts for maintenance.
