Falcon’s Fury is Back! Busch Gardens Tampa Reopens Popular Drop Tower Ride

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.
