Screaming Eagle, Drop tower in Bellewaerde theme park, Ypres, Belgium
The Screaming Eagle rises 52 meters above Bellewaerde park, propelling passengers upward at 70 kilometers per hour before releasing them into multiple freefall sequences.
Installed by German manufacturer Huss Rides in 1999, the Screaming Eagle became part of Bellewaerde's expansion into thrill attractions during the late twentieth century.
The attraction stands in the Canada section of Bellewaerde, integrating with the park's international themes that span across its 54-hectare grounds.
Riders must measure at least 140 centimeters to experience the attraction, which accommodates 24 passengers per cycle and processes 523 visitors each hour.
The Shot'N Drop mechanism combines vertical launching with freefall descents, creating alternating sensations of weightlessness and acceleration throughout the experience.
