Garet Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 For the first ten seconds of the video I thought it was Bryan Cranston doing the voiceover.
cfc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) I believe the phrase we're all looking for here is "Suck it Mach tower!" Robb's at the press event right now so will hopefully get us some more details soon. Yes, I'm guessing that the name "Moser" won't be mentioned in Tampa. Edited June 11, 2013 by cfc
SuperShawn Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Looks the issues with Moser have worked in their favor of getting a far better ride.
BeemerBoy Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 "What goes up must come down." I was really hoping they were talking about Gwazi. The tower looks great though!
Erik Johnson Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Wow! We knew drop tower, but this looks amazing!
Swimace Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 1) This looks like a great addition to Busch Gardens! Something totally unique for the Florida market. Good for them! 2) I will never ride this.
BeemerBoy Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 ^ I nominate you for media day coverage. It'd be pure gold.

chargersmichael Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Is it just me or does this ride just remind you of Sheikra on how a bird dives? All it is is just taller than Sheikra, different bird, and not a coaster. It still "dives" down. I don't know...just my thinking...
DanM64 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 That looks terrifying!! It looks like a Florida trip will be in my future!
RCT3Bross Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Love this concept I would totally try it out when I visit the park in the future.
Milo1188 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 I believe the phrase we're all looking for here is "Suck it Mach tower!" Robb's at the press event right now so will hopefully get us some more details soon. I personally really enjoyed Mach Tower. The day I went to the park last year it was up most of the day, and I think it has a pretty great drop. I rode Drop Tower at KD the day before and couldn't really decide which I liked better (DT has a more exhilarating overall faster drop vs. MT having a quicker initial release). This thing looks absolutely terrifying. Drop towers are the only thing that really freak me out and tilting like that would completely put me out of my comfort zone. Sign me up!
cfc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 To be fair, BGW has Mach Tower running pretty well now; however, Tampa's new drop ride sounds much better.
SharkTums Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 It is confirmed to be Intamin...as if there was any doubt! Who else would build such a kickass pushing the limit drop tower!!!??? I nominate Chris and Andrew to go to Media Day with us. I will even spring for buying the new underwear and pants that will be required.
Vtafro Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 This looks awesome, and not nearly as uncomfortable as acrophobia. Was trying to plan a florida trip next year, this may have thrown a wrench into the timing. Does anyone know how timely they finish their larger projects, or if spring 2014 means definitely won't be open prior to march/april 2014? Thanks for any incite.
Jerrykoala2112 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 This looks amazing! The drop towers and tilt you 15 degrees already scare me, but this one, wow!
SharkTums Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 ^^Spring in Florida generally means before Memorial Day. It's not like this is SFMM we're talking about!
cfc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 It is confirmed to be Intamin...as if there was any doubt! Who else would build such a kickass pushing the limit drop tower!!!??? I nominate Chris and Andrew to go to Media Day with us. I will even spring for buying the new underwear and pants that will be required. People waiting below would have to wear rain slickers.
Skycoastin Steve Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 This is much better than the Moser tower I thought they were going to get.
coasterfreak80 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 OMG OMG OMG I'm in love! Logo: brilliant! Concept: about time! Couldn't be more happy...
Ed Farmer Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Am I the only one who prefers the Intamin 2nd generation drop towers (the ones with several 4 seat cars) over the newer gigantic Gyro drop style towers with the 40 person seat ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings (acrophobia is the exception)? No, I think the 2nd Generation towers are light years ahead of their Gyro Drops. Apart from looking cool and spinning, it's not even close. I (also) think Acrophobia is the lone exception. Falcon's Fury...wow. Looks incredible. I'm basking in their choice of Intamin as the manufacturer. Everyone who played a role in this decision deserves an award. The last time I was this excited about a ride being installed in Florida was Sheikra all the way back in 2005.
Luke_A Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Looks like it's going to be one awesome drop tower. Nice to see Intamin pushing the limits again. It's going to be interesting to see how the restraints turn out, something which makes you feel exposed to the elements / minimalist yet holds you in comfortably but doesn't make you feel like you're wrapped in cotton wool would be great!
Coaster Cow Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 No one is allowed to complain about losing Sandstorm. Agreed? Agreed.
ernierocker Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) ^Actually, it was posted a little further back (semi-confirmed by Screamcape) that Sandstorm is just going to be relocated and not taking out altogether. Looks like a big Orlando October trip is in order for next year! Edited June 11, 2013 by ernierocker
