1) What triggers the pivot from the diving position to the homing position as the cabin makes its free fall?
2) What is the length of the total free fall (in terms of feet) from the release point at the top of the tower, to the point where it engages the brake?
3) Theoretical capacity?
4) Any decorative crown for the top of the tower?
Thanks

According to this article from November 1st (Tampa Bay Times), the ride will shift to an upward position halfway through the drop:

Third section has been installed :thumbs:
Fourth piece has been moved into place. I find that interesting as I was told that the current crane would only lift the first three sections. Maybe, he wasn't counting the base :shrug:
Also, walls are up around some of the games.
OF, I won't be able to make it this weekend as I am attending another event. Can you do me a favor and take a few shots of the site. Thanks

^ They now have construction walls up around some of the games. Can you take a few wide shots of those areas.
As far as FF itself goes, if you can get a few close-ups of the joiner plates and fasteners that would be great. And a few overall site shots or whatever else you can.
Thanks :thumbs:

I am not sure if this has been posted, I stumbled upon a permit that I believe show's the new names of the food vendors. https://www.tampagov.net/www_webapp/default.aspx?page_id=10

Sorry it took so long
Here is the permit summary. The only thing that throws me off is the fact they all have a HS in their names although they were put through plan review more recently.[URL=http://s946.photobucket.com/user/Kevin_Brydebell/media/bgt_zps020ffab6.png.html]

Nighttime pic, not much from to see from outside the wall, and with the company I was with there was not much time to snoop around.
There it is sitting at 100 feet.

Awesome pictures! I'd personally like to see one that shows perspective. Maybe one taken from the Sky ride would be ideal. This is looking awfully Transformers-ish for a big African tower... but I really really like it.
Yeah it was running last night too and if I weren't with my GF and her elderly parents I would have been able to ride it and get some more pics...
Great shots, OF. Thanks for helping out. :thumbs:
I'll take some perspective shots over the weekend. :wave:
As far as the Transformers-ish goes. Just wait until all the themeing is in place, you won't be disappointed.

Wild, when I saw the pieces with all of the holes... I thought, "those couldn't be all bolt holes could they?". Well, yes, it appears that was exactly the intended use. Daz alotta bolts!
That's what she said

Much appreciated. I hope you'll be able to see this sucker driving down I-4 westbound once it reaches its peak. You can easily see downtown Tampa Bay and those buildings not only sit at a lower elevation, but are comparable in size to that of Falcon's Fury. What a statement that'd make...
