STUCK on MASSIVE Drop Tower! | My Experience BREAKING DOWN on Falcon’s Fury!

- Hey guys! So my family and I took a trip out to the Orlando area for theme parks and we ended up at Busch Gardens. If you didn’t know, Busch Gardens has a 335 foot Intamin drop tower that sends riders plummeting to Earth on their stomachs. Little to my knowledge, the day we went was windy enough to shut the ride down, and that very thing happened to us when we reached the top while I was recording. Stay tuned till the end of the video to see the raw footage! 😱🎢

This ride is terrifying and to be stuck in that position makes it 100x worse
Lol, for real, once I see it tilts over like that, “it’s a no for me dawg” 😅
imagine the power going out and the latches open.
@@kirstin5256 That’s not impossible there are generators and those seats are not electronically pressured they’re magnetic
and if it got stuck in the tilted position that would suck.
This made my hands sweat
People always get annoyed about being stuck on rides, but nothing will be worse than the time I got stuck in the themed oven section of a ride, blowing hot air on us continuously. 😅
Was it test track, because I had a similar experience on that ride?
Hershey Park? Lol
Oh god... that sounds awful
Oh wow lol
Oh no lol
imagine the ride stopping while you're face down at the top
Off
I was on a ride that did that. Thought my harness was gonna open i even weighed less when i went on it. Nope, never again
Man it scares me I feel like I'm up there too
😂
Lol that's wha your eyelids are for
Lol you guys are so damn comfortable in that situation 😂 I'd be freaking out.
One time I went on a 400 foot tall chair swing and no one else was on it except for 2 people and it was night time. It broke down at the top lmao
@@xc.50404 was it the star flyer? In Orlando Florida?
@@LVA119 Yeah it was, it was really scary but we got a cool night time view
The one right next to the fun spot right?
@@xc.50404 uhmmm I think so
I love how your laughing at the top lol I would’ve had like ten different panic attacks
Ditto!
Who cares
@@isuckatvideogames5609 if you didn’t care why would you comment?? 💀 lmao just scroll past
I would have passed away
isuckatvideogames5609 wow what a dick comment. If you didn't care why'd you say something?
A quick summary of the experience:
"Man Iron Gwazi looks great!"
"Look at that coaster, it's massive!"
"Ehm, I think the ride we're on just broke, it's not supposed to do this..."
"Oh no, anyway...
*Just how cool is Iron Gwazi?!* "
I rode the iron gwazi a couple days ago and it was so fun
@@marshymeadow6336 I was so scared but yeah i rode it and it was hecks of fun
Wow! I highkey wish i could ride it like that. I feel like the facing-straight-down aspect takes away from the drop feeling & especially with how it brings you back to sitting position halfway thru which slows it down. It just feels like a half-assed experience imo. Lucky you guys!
That’s the reason why I love it bc I hate that feeling of my organs being rearranged on rides lmao the hanging is the scariest part idk how u people like that "feeling" THANK GOD IT FACES DOWN BC I WOULD HATE IT 💀
Your Dads reaction + distracted by the "still NOT open" Iron Gwazi. Is hilarious!
What an adorable teen having fun with fam! Love it! 💯🌴
These roller coaster videos are poppin off on the algorithms
no fr ever sinxe that kid died
Ever since the accident in Orlando huh
@@blare4470 they've been started getting recommended to be right before the accident in Orlando is kinda creepy
Everybody craving for a Kingda Ka or TTD rollback...
but have you ever had a "Falcon's Fury broke down and we dropped uninclined" experience?
I'd rather drop uninclined. Not because it's scary facing down (because it is more scary, especially the first time), but because falling in a sitting position just feels better to me. My stomach doesn't get that floater feeling that much when laying down
@@benisjammin626 uninclined is actually scarier because your support becomes the shoulder bars, so there's always this fear that the bars are gonna open up and release you from the seat.
@@DARKSHREK000 INCLINED IS 10 TIMES WORSE, your entire body weight is on the restraints. If they give out, u fall 325 feet to ur death.
@@DARKSHREK000Falcons Fury has a seatbelt that secures the harness over you. The buckle has a pin that pops up and makes it impossible to open until you return to the bottom of the ride and the pin retracts.
Other than one of those rides where it swings you until ur upside down or maybe a slingshot, a drop tower would be the worst thing to get stuck on. Especially when ur faced down.
I would not have been upset tbh 😭
The tilt is the reason I don’t ride it, so you got basically a tall drop tower ride
I’ve had this happen before. It’s an awesome experience.
Did you ride it again with the tilt working or?
@@sonotswifty dude, drop tower accidents are very, very rare.
@@crazycars81 I'm not talking about any accident. I'm just asking if they let this person ride falcons fury again because the tilt didn't work.
Not talking about the latest accident that took place at ICON park in Orlando
@@crazycars81 who said anything about accident?
I'd like to be sitting at the top but I'd be a bit afraid the harnesses would open
Bro just thinking about that is so stressful
I would have had a panic attack because you can't tell if it's broken in a way where you can't get down by riding. And you wouldn't know how long you are trapped and can't talk to the staff.
Plus you have no way of knowing when it does drop if it's a safe drop or you are actually falling. I have severe claustrophobia issues so I would freak out being alone with my thoughts up there not knowing how long I'm stuck so a midair panic attack would be a literal nightmare.
If it were me, I’d be pissing
and sh*ting myself 🥲🙃
I’m a thrill junkie but IDC IDC…. I would have freaked out! All I would think, woodbine about the young lady whose feet were decapitated on a similar attraction. Glad you and your family safe kid.
Idc but decapitation only refers to the removal of the head
I got stuck on the Pitfall at Kennywood one year. Luckily it was at the bottom and I was kid so I was small enough to fit through the middle of the restraints.
That Suck, The One Time You Wanted To Have Your Family Experience That Ride As A Surprise, And The Ride Had Others Plans.
Your pops though "WHY! WHY! WHY! WHY!" 😂🤣😂🤣
I’m petrified of this ride for this reason. It’s the only thing in BG I haven’t ridden. Off topic. Love your shoes
You definitely got a better ride then. The facing downward drop is nice visually from up high, but the drop feels like nothing/ doesn't feel forceful. Id love to get a sitting upright drop on FF. Lol. (Sidenote: i kind of loved the pre-recorded "brace yourself for sudden movement" announcement. That would strike some up a fear sensation.)
Omg consider yourself lucky!
nothing can happen, the brakes are magnetic and wil work 24/7
@@dennis-br6vr lol
This happened when we went to Busch gardens on February. I was not in the ride but right before my turn the ride got stuck at the very top. And we left.
I was there, I was in the ride when that happened, it was the scariest moment of my life
Now it's only the 2nd tallest in America.... ☹️
I think I was on the same time as you because about 6 months ago, I was stuck up there and this is the experience I had. I am going again next weekend and probably another time soon.
I'm a Florida native that rode the Sandstorm (Falcons Fury stands in it's place) I will not ride that thing after what happened at icon park 😬 your experience further solidifies this
That’s all I can think about watching this video what a truly sad incident rip to that young man
just remember its 1 in a 130 million to even get hurt on a roller coaster let alone die
the retrains are as strong as two plane wings
@@stingy8029 I love rollercoasters of all heights... I'm talking these kind of drop towers, I guess the hit my phobia button pretty hard lol... but you may have motivated me to try Falcons Fury but I'll never ride the one at icon
Talk about fear for no reason lol
Falcon’s fury has like 3 different restraints- it is incredibly, INCREDIBLY safe in comparison. Icon Park had over the shoulder restraints and careless operators
Your ride on falcons fury would be more scarier if you were facing down the entire time.
You're very lucky on this one, to be honest. There's been some drop towers stuck for hours at a time, and imagine if Falcon's Fury would have gotten stuck in the down facing position.
I live in Tampa and am about to go on this. Your video just gives me
Anxiety lolol
I could never go on one of these rides.
You know how scared I’d be to actually be stuck at the top that long 😂 talking bout some please prepare for sudden movement
"Proudly built by the Wile E Coyote Acme Rickety Carnival Ride Company"
I’m having anxiety just watching this ✌🏾💀😂
At least you got a nice view for iron gwazi
This happened to me and my friends, and we didn’t know protocol, so we were freaking out
I’m following because you survived my worst nightmare. I’m so glad your ok❤️❤️
I secretly admire the netting below the tower
OMGGGG IM NOT IN THE RIDE Iam dying In here 😭😭💀 I would pass out if I was there
I definitely wouldn’t have wanted to be up there for that long. No thanks!
I got stuck at the top of the Giant Drop at Six Flags Great America for awhile. They had to have maintenance come over to reset something. It dropped with no warning! Got a pass to go to the front of the line of any ride in the park.
A couple years ago i got stuck at the top hanging face first for like 3 min. Thought i was gonna die 😂
that ride is always broken, I go to busch gardens like every weekend.
Interesting, cool, and funny vid. I’m glad that you weren’t stuck up there for too long.
Dude that's my favorite ride
i did this alone hugging the random people next to me lol
I wouldn't get on a ride like that now
why?
@@goldenfish1657 I guess u haven't heard about the kid that fell off a free fall ride in orlando.
bro this a completely different ride in busch gardens and that kid was just too big to ride it
@@goldenfish1657 yeah I know but I still wouldn't want to ride it. I don't like heights . and I could be too small for it
if you have been on it facing down, would you say its more intense face down or upright?
It is way more intense facing upright you get that stomach drop feeling essentially pulling you downward whereas tilted at the 90 degrees you don’t get that stomach drop feeling, a lot smoother than any other one I’ve been on
@@cleopatrastavropoulos8805 I hated that feeling of my stomach dropping on this ride. Haven’t been on it since I was 13 cuz of that
@@cleopatrastavropoulos8805 if you're right about the stomach drop then I would try it. Because stomach drop is the only thing that makes me avoid roller coasters and other rides
This is one of the reasons that Busch Gardens uses to not show off the new Serenghetti flyer, which I don't understand why they closed the Skyride and Falcon's Fury. It's just a simple S&S Scream N' Swing, or Double Swing, if you will.
I just peed my pants just watching this. 🤣
I just don't understand why people play with there lives like that me I always think about what if and that what if always scare me and I know we all have to die one day but I pass on things like this life is to precious
why? deaths on rides are very rare
They are willing to take the chance and there is nothing wrong with that. You cant let fear stop you from doing stuff you like.
Reminds me of the quote " There is nothing to fear but fear itself".
Because death is inevitable dur I don’t care about dying
Never, ever would you catch me on one of these ride, hello no. Not because I’m scared of heights at all.!!!
I’ve gotten stuck on a massive drop tower at around 150 ft and it was for around 5 to 10 minutes I can feel the pain of being up there for a while
I was stuck on the windseeker at kings dominion a few weeks ago and it broke down at the top and they must’ve lowered it with a drill of some bullcrap because it took an hour and a half for the thing to lower
Got a free meal and a free towel from it tho Lol
Some poor kid in front of me pissed themselves so i still feel bad for them.
It was about 65 seconds where it didn't "turn and face you down" then they just dropped you basically stuck for 65 seconds
Gosh that must’ve been so scary
This ride breaks all of the time
you should visit busch gardens williamsburg, which is in virginia. the mach tower (which is very similar) I don't think it has broken down at all :)
I rather NOT unless you wanna see a panic attack. In a position like that. Uh NO. I have a fear of heights. You will have to find a way to keep me calm😱
i Tried falcons fury test seat and got stuck on the test seat
I heard please brace yourself for sudden movement! King’s Dominion should add that to their drop tower! I have seen it get stuck! I can’t imagine what it would be like without a warning in advance! I’d probably have a heart attack and *”SUE”* Kings dominion
I want KD to add this to the drop tower ( for the 2025 season)
I’m so scared of heights I feel sick
Did you get to ride it again, since it didn't drop properly?
I was on the hulk rollercoaster at universal and the train perfectly stopped at the top of the cobra roll upside down and we had to all lean one way to get it over
At least you have your musk on, so you was safe.
In the queue i thought u were sitting on a bench not the ride💀✨😂😭
Makes me curious what happens if you get stuck at the very TOP hat of those launch coasters. Or the coasters with vertical lift hills, what if those get stuck while going up lol...
I was on that exact ride before!!! I can’t remember where or when but I sure do remember!
Where would have been Busch Gardens Tampa, because that’s the only place it exists
they let you take your camera on a drop tower. doesn't seem like a good idea
Pretty sure it has to be strapped to u
@ThatRedBoneThug the same reason they make you remove shoes before going on the ride. Cell phones not allowed on many thrill rides.
@ThatRedBoneThug true, but shoes and sneakers usually come off, and those are attached
@ThatRedBoneThug I'm trying to explain why the ride may not allow anything extraneous at all.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoaaaa 😂
Did you get to ride to back to back (assuming they had it sorted out and you would now be able to lay face down)?
Rest in peace Tyree🙏❤️
this is falcon's fury, not the orlando freefall.
and also no one cares anymore.
@@jonavene12 gross
I love Busch gardens but I’m way down scared to go on that ride
When ur up there your as tall as kong from kong vs godzilla
I've ridden this ride, the day I went, I don't think it was windy? There was a few times before we went on that it had gotten stuck. Which made me sad cause I really wanted to go on this. The tilt. Oh boy, that had me pissing my pants. I did t expect it, but it was so much fun.
Ride breaks:
The riders: *CLAPPING AND CHEERING*
It was a great ride until the 14 yo
@gabriela it's a freefall thrill ride though, very similar
@@valmacclinchy yes but trust me Bushgardens is way more safe than ICON park.
@@valmacclinchy different manufacturer, different ride experience, and most importantly, a well-managed park.
wrong ride dumbass
Ifyou guys are wondering which amusement park this is it is Busch gardens
I would never get on that…
need to go on the new on here in Orlando, 430 feet, 30 degree tilt and drop at 70 MPH. and as you go up it rotates
A 14 year old died on that ride in Orlando a couple of days ago. So sad.
Yeah. I think my ride days are over 😕
Guys accidents on rides are very rare.
@@AdverbsAndNouns nobody cares
@@conehead1047 not what yo mama said
You're outside, in the sky, wearing masks. Why?
Falcon’s furry!!! I’ve been where your at!!! In March!!!
This always happens when we went and it was closed when we where waiting we went on once got around again then as soon as we got off we got told that it was down again then a few moments later it was up then it just keep going like they yk
We went last month and when we tilted I DIED, and then we sat there tilted for like 30 seconds and BAM we fell and yeah it was fun
So this wasn't an error. They have different options for the ride. Don't they?
@@Danileptic No, THIS VIDEO showed an error because it didn't lean, USIALLY, you would go up, lean, sit for like 30second and then fall, they just went up Sat for like 15 then fell, if that makes sense
Oh my God that's just scares me by looking at it
You got a good view of Gwazi
I went onto that ride 2 weeks and I got out traumatized. now I imagine it getting stuck like that it might of had dropped the seat belts because it got confused with dropping and going down slowly. I'm just saying, You guys got out *LUCKILY*
Wym dropped the seatbelts it can do that?
@@CrispiOS While I'm not familiar with the safety systems on this ride specifically, any major amusement park ride like this is going to be designed so that the restraints can't come open during the ride. Either they have a mechanical lock that must be manually released by the ride operator, or they have an electrical lock that only releases when it receives an electrical signal in the loading area. Note that on electrical locks they open in the *presence* of a signal, so they can't open even in the unlikely event the ride completely breaks down and loses power. Portable battery packs and/or manual overrides can be used by the rescue crews to safely get people off of rides should such an event happen.
I went to Busch gardens a few years ago I remember I saw that ride and I was TERRIFIED
Theyre just trying to keep you on your toes 🤣
Ive rode this several times and it breaks down tons of times every time i go there
That scary but it’s good your ok!
Noooo that just happened to me the other week
I would have died of a heart attack
Happened to me on the sky screamer at sf great adventure
aw hell no! last time I rode it I was hyped! because I rode it before. but this time it honestly realized something..I do not like high suspension swings. I might try it again one day but eh. it's. lil much lol. (sorry for the whole story) buy I hope yalls summer goes well. p.s my home park is six flags new england..
did you take your phone up there what the hell
For your safety ? Where was safety when stuck
And looking down would make it MUCH WORSE. I'd be going thru a Freak Attack😱
Bro I was riding probs right behind you because I got caught
Ok... I’m scared to ride this I want to surprise my dad tomorrow and ride it with him because he has been begging me. Should I do it?
Edit: I really need you to respond
Do it!!
Thanks to you, Falcon’s fury is my new favorite ride!
Anxiety level rises to heaven
