The drop tower will rotate around showing the skyline before reaching the top when it will then tilt forward 30 degrees and drop riders in a 400-foot free fall at speeds of over 75 mph, officials explained.
The ICON Park Slingshot reaches 300 feet and will launch two riders out of an “exploding volcano” to approximately 450 feet into the sky at more than 100 mph, company officials said.
“The Slingshot Group of Companies is committed to bringing the biggest thrills to Orlando,” Owner Ritchie Armstrong said. “We’re very excited to open the world’s tallest slingshot and free-standing drop tower at ICON Park to stand opposite of the Orlando StarFlyer, the world’s tallest swing ride.”
Sounds like it’s going to be a thrilling summer in Central Florida.
