Busch Gardens Tampa Soft Opens Falcon’s Fury Over the Weekend
This past weekend, Busch Gardens Tampa soft opened its new Falcon’s Fury attraction to guests in the park, after a few days of employee testing.
Among the first riders were the band The All American Rejects, who were playing the park as part of its summer concert series. Then the ride opened for guests to experience.
Falcon’s Fury was supposed to open in May, but delays in construction and testing delayed that. This all-new drop tower is a first of its kind as it not only takes riders up 335, but it tilts them facedown to the ground before they drop.
No word on when there will be a grand opening for the ride, but since they’re doing soft openings, I would guess it’ll be in the next month or so, barring any complications. We’ll let you know as soon as we hear a date.
