How do I put this... It was like going 0-65 at 300 ft while basejumping. It covered all of my major fears and multiplied all thier values together. The ride went up slowly and the beautiful view was the sole, staunch reminder that I wasn't just high - I was deathly high. When It stopped, I felt relieved, as if terror had found its limit, but it was then that it rotated to face the ground. The few seconds I laid there lasted a lifetime and I felt my weight pull me forward. As if to answer my pleas, I heard a mechanical click. Relieving me of gravity. Moving me. It takes only a second to realize what that means. As I came to terms with my predicament, a miraculous feeling overcame me. The hydraulic hinge swept into position, and stooped to a controlled, vertical fall. It was at this moment that I screamed. I felt as if I had overcome my fears of height, tragedy and rollercoasters, and , yes, death all at the same time. This ride was more than a 5 second fall to me, it was the culmination of all thrill and terror I've conquered, the greatest adrenaline rush imaginable. It was a rush. I HIGHLY recommend it to all.

P.S. I realize how dumb this sounds, but I don't usually write reviews....

My nephew dragged me back to this "amusement" park, he told me that there's ride that was so tall I could meet God, naturally as a Christian man I jumped at the opportunity, I was so eager to meet the only being more righteous than myself, I didn't, Quasimodo lied! Instead I was suspended some 300 or more feet of the ground facing down, I felt an extreme sense of fears and screamed at the vermin below to help me, I cursed the two sitting next to me, telling them to help but midway through my sentence I heard a deafening falcon cry and then it happened, the longest 7 seconds of my life, 7 seconds for the 7 layers of Hell. I cried and begged God for mercy, I didn't deserve this, I sobbed and uncontrollably hyperventilated as I had a major panic attack. When I finally was safe I was frozen in shock according to Phoebus, he's my guard NOT my pa! I was apparently unintelligible for a few hours, rambling like a madman. AVOID...

This review is just for Falcons fury. This ride is not nearly as scary as you might expect. I think it's because your facedown and therefor your are pressed into your seat. If you stayed sitting up you'd have the feeling of flying out of your seat. I tend to get motion sick on rides and I didn't get the least bit sick on this ride and it doesn't shake you up either. Actually the scariest part of this ride if you've never been on it before is standing in line waiting to get on and watching it. Enjoy the time going up because it's really a beautiful view. Going down is a fun rush. I'm 62 years old and I could ride it over and over. I can only ride a roller coaster once or twice before it gets the best of me but Falcons Fury is amazing. By the way they won't let you wear your glasses on the ride. They'll have you take them off and put them in the little compartment right in front of your seat before...

🇺🇸Tampa | A Must-Visit for Roller Coaster Enthusiasts: Busch Gardens Purchased the SeaWorld 2-Day 2-Park Pass, which includes a free shuttle bus to the Tampa park (reservation required on the official website). Bus stops along the way: 1. SeaWorld Bus Parking Lot – 9:00 AM (we boarded here) 2. Publix Super Market at Regency Village Shopping Center – 9:30 AM 3. Maingate Lakeside Resort – 9:45 AM The ride takes about an hour. We entered the park at 11:10 AM. On weekdays, the park operates from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and the bus departs for the return trip at 5:15 PM. For locker rentals, avoid the one near the entrance (Photo 3)—it costs $15/day and can’t be reused at other lockers. Instead, opt for the unlimited-use locker near the rides (Photo 4) for $10/day (we got a $15 refund at the guest center before leaving). 🎢 Rode all the major attractions: 11:15 AM – Iron Gwazi (not open yet) 1️⃣ 11:29 AM – Cheetah Hunt (intense acceleration) 11:48 AM – Montu (closed) 2️⃣ 11:48 AM – Cobra’s Curse (strong backward and sideways thrills) 3️⃣ 12:06 PM – Montu (three 360° spins + infinite 270° sideways flips) 4️⃣ 12:36 PM – Serengeti Flyer (massive swinging back and forth) 5️⃣ 1:10 PM – Falcon’s Fury (pulled up, then folded halfway facing the ground before dropping) 6️⃣ 1:19 PM – Scorpion (360° spins) 7️⃣ 1:33 PM – Kumba (360° spins + sideways flips) 8️⃣ 2:06 PM – Tigris (climb up + backward drop + 360° sideways flips) 2:17 PM – SheiKra (closed) 9️⃣ 2:30 PM – Iron Gwazi (endless sideways flips + rapid straight drop) Currently the tallest roller coaster in North America—plunges from 206 ft at a 91° angle, reaching speeds up to 76 mph (122 km/h). 🔟 3:08 PM – Rode Iron Gwazi again! 11. 4:12 PM – Montu (rode twice in a row—so thrilling!) The rides here are intense, perfect for roller coaster lovers, and the crowds are light—barely any lines! A full day was plenty for us. We didn’t buy the dining plan (snacks allowed—bags weren’t checked). #BuschGardens #RollerCoaster #Tampa #ThrillRides #AdventureTime #TravelUSA #ThemeParkFun #IronGwazi #NoLines #CoasterLover

This is the ride I refuse to go on. My boyfriend was keen ongoing on this ride. I was there for moral support and obviously to take a video, lol, but afterwards I have to admit, he looked a little terrified and it was the one ride we didn't go back to at the end of the day haha! But it's really cool and goes up extremely high and apparently tips you over a little when you're at the top before it drops. So it's extremely thrilling and goes very high, but for someone like me, who has an extreme fear of heights, it does not look like something that is fun for me at all. It's definitely the one that goes the highest I've ever seen
