Went on this ride last week. The scariest part was when I was locked in for the first time before we even started going up. The tilt at the top surprisingly makes the ride less scary compared to the usual drop tower experience where you're upright and you get that losing your stomach feeling when you drop (like Cedar Point's Power Tower). We ended up riding Falcon's Fury 8 times. Falcon's Fury is smooth and more like skydiving. It is the best ride in the park. Sheikra is #2.
I can't believe it's been 8 months ago that I rode this for the first time! I love the ride now! It's not scary but I still scream on the way down. Haha. But not like this video anymore ;p
RODE THIS YESTERDAY 4 TIMES BACK TO BACK ITS THAT AMAZING it IS SO HIGH OMFG BUT ITS WORTH IT and the best part is it doesnt mess witg your stomach as sheikra does well atleast for me
How come they didn't implement the seat jerking forward a bit after you're facing down to create the sensation of the ride malfunctioning and the seat detaching from the ride?? That would have been really scary and unique.
The thing is that sheikra curves in, and falcons fury goes straight down and its longer. Theyre both good and intense. But honestly falcons fury scares me more😂
It was filmed during a media event before park hours for the day, so just a handful of us in the park when it happened! - Bill (original uploader of this video)
This was filmed during a Media Only event. In fact, this particular ride was filmed before the park even opened to guests for the day, so there were none in the park. (I'm the former operator of BGTFans, and originally uploaded this video. I'm now with Pixels At The Parks).
Generally main stream outlets (like TV stations, newspapers & radio stations) get invited, along with some of the bigger blogs, including mine - I used to run BGTFans (it's no longer running, I'm now with Pixels At The Parks).
The scariest part is the anticipation as it rises, especially if you're on the side that's facing sheikra and you realize how high you really are lol. When it drops, it's just a pure adrenaline rush. I personally put my hands out when it drops, so I get as close to a skydiving experience as I can. But if it's your first time and you're not comfortable with heights, you're gonna be scared shitless, not gonna sugarcoat lol.
God this ride is so much fun, though at the time it was hard to enjoy the ride when you're gripping the bars for you're life. I would not recommend it being your first ride though
Like Fmdk Vlogs responded, GoPros with a multi-point harness are allowed on all of the rides at Busch Gardens Tampa, generally speaking. That's the park's official policy. The ride operators have the final say if they feel the mount/camera poses a safety risk, but we haven't heard any issues with GoPro brand mounts/cameras.
HAHAA OMG I AM TRYING NOT TO LAUGH BUT AHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA oh god XDDD man i ride this i dont scream like that... well, i do scream but its more of a WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO instead of an AHHHHHHHHHH AH AH AHHHHHHHHHHHH he actually sounded like a falcon XDDDD
SuperGamerBoy zedxgaming did you have to say that wow it's not like I'm a feminist but seriously you can't scream a way because of your gender get a life
Emily Mead And maybe you should stop being afraid to go ahead and call yourself a feminist. Believe in equal respect and legal rights? Boom. You’re a feminist. Don’t let anti-feminists define the word for you.
1:22 he does sound like a falcon
I shouldn't laugh because this is probably how I'll react when I ride it but it was so funny!

1:18 You're about to discover what lies beyond the fifth dimension, beyond the deepest darkest corner of your imagination, in the TOWER OF TERROR
I'm looking forward to riding this incredible ride.

This ride is so much fun :D
I rode this and I just thought it was a normal drop zone but when that shit turned you I legit screamed in fear.
1:23 Me when I see a spider on the other side of my room..
It feels like an eternity when you flip face down im honestly never getting on again 😅
RODE THIS YESTERDAY 4 TIMES BACK TO BACK ITS THAT AMAZING it IS SO HIGH OMFG BUT ITS WORTH IT and the best part is it doesnt mess witg your stomach as sheikra does well atleast for me
I live in Tampa too but I haven't been to Bush gardens yet
okay now that I think about it I’d rather be in a roller coaster. Seriously if I was on this I would scream my lungs out. I’m afraid of heights
Excellent 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕💕💕💕
This was on my birthday!😁😀
Lmmfao!!! That was hilarious!
That scream!!! 😂 (I laugh but I would sound about the same here)
When the heck did they add this ride?? Man I guess it's been a while since I have been to Busch gardens
2014

I would love to ride this so much
yo fui en vacaciones y casi me muero hay😞😂
Soon it drop my heart was shaking
.....Totally not nervous... ;)
I just rode it yesterday
Which drop is more intense Sherika or falcon fury
TeddyLove 101 sheikra, i rode both of them and sheikra was more intense, fury was nothing.
The thing is that sheikra curves in, and falcons fury goes straight down and its longer. Theyre both good and intense. But honestly falcons fury scares me more😂
I'm afraid of heights💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
was the park closed? I couldn't see anybody on the rides or people except him

1:24 was so funny
Why was he alone on there? Did anyone want go to the ride?
Kamyla Leon They probably wanted everyone out of the line so they could do this video. I'm sure people would've wanted to go on.

how many feet is that or how tall
355 ft, i think
335 but the ride vehicle only goes to 310.
The tower itself measures 335 feet tall. The riders drop from a height of 282 feet.
Not that scary. Best bit is the slow tilt to facing down. Only thing is it is too short for my liking
That's the day of my birthday 😂
poor guy
was this the pass member preview?
Today was Media Day for invited outlets.
In the mail?
Generally main stream outlets (like TV stations, newspapers & radio stations) get invited, along with some of the bigger blogs, including mine - I used to run BGTFans (it's no longer running, I'm now with Pixels At The Parks).
I have been on this ride lol
1:22 *SPACESHIP CRASH LANDING TO EARTH*
Sweet Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I like intense rollercoasters do you guys think I will be fine on this? I don't really know if I should go on or not.

That's my uncle

That is only 220 ft not 335 ft
+Fmdkv Vlogs how because shikra is 200ft and if you look you would see that it is only a bit higher
+Fmdkv Vlogs you are wrong
+Fmdkv Vlogs shikra is 200ft but then how is that 335ft because when I was on shikra it didn't look to be a lot taller, I have the map next to me now
+Fmdkv Vlogs OK sorry
It's 335 m8
are you allowed to record ....
