"Falcon's Fury is a free-standing Sky Jump drop tower attraction at the Busch Gardens Tampa amusement park in Tampa, Florida, United States. Manufactured by Intaride (a subsidiary of Intamin), the ride reaches a maximum height of 335 feet (102 m) making it North America's tallest free-standing drop tower. It is also the first drop tower to use 90-degree tilting seats (facing riders straight down). Riders experience about five seconds of free fall, reaching a speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h). The ride's name was chosen to invoke a falcon's ability to dive steeply at high speed to capture prey."

"At the ride’s highest point, like its bird of prey namesake, riders pivot 90 degrees in midair to a face-down dive position. An instant later they'll plunge 60 mph straight down. Riders must be between 54” and 77” to ride Falcon’s Fury."
