Falcon's Fury, Drop tower at Busch Gardens Tampa, US

Falcon's Fury is a free-standing drop tower at Busch Gardens Tampa in Florida, built by Intamin subsidiary Intaride. Its 335-foot (102 m) steel tower has a ridged teal column rising to an orange cylindrical cap ringed by a railing, with an orange chevron-patterned band below it. A circular carriage around the column holds pairs of dark blue seats with black restraints on outward arms.

Planning began around 2011 as Cheetah Hunt neared completion, and ground tests in the Timbuktu area, now Pantopia, revealed soil conditions that required steel beams and concrete reinforcement. Announced on June 11, 2013, the ride replaced the Sandstorm attraction. Its tower arrived from Spain in nine sections in late 2013, and after cable-related delays it officially opened on September 2, 2014.

Its name refers to the hunting technique of a falcon diving toward prey at high speed. This movement shapes the entire experience, from the climb to the drop, when riders face the ground below.

Visitors must be at least 54 inches (137 centimeters) tall to ride, and all personal items must be stored securely before boarding. Those with heart or back problems should avoid this attraction, as the forces during the drop are intense.

Unlike most drop towers, riders tilt forward 90 degrees at the top so they face straight down toward the ground. This moment lasts several seconds before the gondola plunges downward.
