A while back I asked if anyone had any questions for the Busch Gardens Technical Team regarding Falcon's Fury and a few of you did. Sorry it took so long for me to acquire answers but here they are . . .
Will there be 'sway' cables attached to the top?
Falcon’s Fury will be North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower. This means it will have no additional cable or support structures.
How do they know there are no imminent sink holes beneath?
To ensure there’s no imminent risks of sinkholes, there was an extensive geotechnical analysis that was performed during the foundation process for Falcon’s Fury.
Will there be exposed lift cables?
The lift cables for Falcon’s Fury will all be enclosed in cable protection assemblies along the side of the ride.
What machinery will be encased inside the tower?
The ride is powered by (4) DC motors located in the top section of Falcon’s Fury. A 68-ton counterweight will travel on the inside of the tower to counter-balance the ride vehicle assembly, allowing it to ascend and descend.
Any decorative crown for the top of the tower?
No, there will not be a decorative crown.
Are you venturing away from the traditional African theming? Pantopia?
Pantopia will not embody the elements of any one geographical place. The fully remodeled land will boast elaborately-jeweled theming and feature thrilling rides and attractions, sensational new food and beverage options, exciting entertainment, shopping, a renovated indoor theater and more. Guests will step into a mystical land and unlock the wonders of nature. Pantopia will be a place of unification and celebration where animals inspire art and creativity.
