The Orlando Slingshot stands at 300 feet and launches two riders out of an “exploding volcano” about 450 feet straight up, reaching speeds up to 100 MPH, according to a news release.
The adjacent Orlando FreeFall stands at 430 feet and can take 30 riders at a time high above ICON Park and International Drive. The vehicle rotates around the gigantic tower until it reaches the top, tilting riders forward 30 degrees to face the ground for a brief moment before free falling nearly 400 feet, reaching speeds over 75 MPH, the news release states.
Tickets are $30 for the SlingShot and $12 for the FreeFall. Combo tickets that can also include the StarFlyer are also on sale, ranging from $20 to $50.
