Falcon's Fury

What are those large tubes going to be used for?

I would say shaft.

I am serious. First, I have no idea what this falcon thing is supposed to be. If it is a coaster, then I am in the clear as I am not a coaster enthusiast. That said, I have no idea what those big round things are and I would appreciate someone sitting down and telling me. :wave:

Teebs, they are sections of the shaft structure for this drop tower :thumbs:

By the way, I think Teebs should wear the GoPro :wave:

Thank you Felipe. I had no idea what the project was as it is Busch Gardens. Being Busch is why I asked you people instead of researching it elsewhere.

[Jwhee]

Will the ride only have one drop?

 

[bobwadd]

^ Yes, as far as I can tell

Sooooo, you'll be wearing the GoPro.


Getting shots of the bottom of our feet. :wave: on round 2.

Chopper>This ride

 

[bobwadd]

Ok, I guess we'll just have to have a meet-up and all ride it together. :stunned:

Chopper>This ride

Are you sure a chopper with the doors off is better than this. Especially on those banked corners at 1000'.

Yes on the meet up, and I guess we will see on the Chopper :sneaky:

These type of rides typically do.

Yeah, well, it would seem that the only other drop tower ride in Florida has multiple drops, not to mention the Tower of Terror with multiple drops.

But they also have multiple towers instead of the single pole BGT will have.

Tower of Terror is in it's own category compared to normal drop towers. Such a great ride!

I don't know of any Intamin drop tower installations that have more than one drop per cycle. S&S Towers have the "bouncing" after the initial drop, but I wouldn't count that.

What other drop tower are you talking about in your post?

I assume Doom's Fear Fall?

Tower of Terror is it's own unique ride system that isn't seen anywhere else besides other Disney parks. Dr Doom is a different model than what will be at Busch Gardens. The main difference between Tower of Terror/Dr Doom and Falcon's Fury is the propulsion method. ToT and DD use cables to get the ride vehicles up and down (ToT using a turbine for power, and DD using pneumatic air pressure). Because of this, they can drop up and down multiple times.

Falcon's Fury has a much larger vehicle holding a lot more people and can't be taken up and down that easily, that's why it goes up so slow. It stops by means of magnets (reverse Rock n Rollercoaster) versus being decelerated by cables. Because there's no air pressure or cable pulley system, it would be impossible for a ride like Falcon's Fury to get launched back up again or "bounce" like Dr Doom.

It could go up really slowly and do the whole ride cycle over again...but that would cut capacity in half.
