ICON Park SlingShot and Drop Tower
The ICON Park Slingshot will be the world’s tallest slingshot ride at 300 feet. The two-tower attraction will launch two riders out of an “exploding volcano” approximately 450 feet straight up into the sky and reach speeds of up to 100 miles per hour.
Standing at 430 feet tall, the Icon Park Drop Tower will be the world’s tallest free-standing drop tower. Thirty riders will be able to take in the sights of I-Drive as the tower rotates and rises toward the sky. Once the ride vehicle reaches the top, it’ll tilt forward 30 degrees and face the ground for a brief moment before free-falling nearly 400 feet at speeds reaching over 75 miles per hour.
