Buying notes for the Free Fall Ride
Four towers, one decision. The free fall range runs from a 15 m rotating tower that fits beside a shopping centre to a 63 m free fall that becomes the tallest thing in the district.
Every model does the same thing: lift a cabin, hold it, then let it come down fast. What changes is height, seat count, power and the size of the base you have to build.
The four models side by side
The compact tower
12 riders to 12.5 m on an 8 x 8 m base with 40 kW installed. The only model that suits an indoor position. See the 15m rotating tower.
The value step
16 riders to 19.5 m on a 9 x 9 m base, 70 kW installed and one 40HQ container. See the 25m rotating tower.
The landmark
16 riders to 28.5 m on an 11 x 8 m base, dual hydraulic cylinders, 90 kW installed and three containers. See the 35m rotating tower.
The destination ride
32 riders on the tallest model, with the highest throughput and the largest power demand. See the 63m free fall.
Start with two limits: height and power
Your site sets both before your budget does. A tower that cannot get a power connection of the right size is not a cheaper tower, it is a delayed project.
Installed power runs from 40 kW to 520 kW across the range. The 15 m tower works on a standard mall supply; the 63 m model needs an industrial connection. Send us the supply you have and the answer narrows to one or two models immediately. The difference between the two machine types matters before you shortlist: drop tower vs free fall sets it out ride by ride.
What changes as the tower gets taller
- Freight
One container for the 25 m tower, three for the 35 m model. The taller the tower, the more of the budget sits in shipping rather than in the ride.
- Foundation and crane
Base plates grow with height, and the crane that lifts the sections has to reach the base. Check the access road before you choose the model.
- Inspection and maintenance
Cylinders, brakes and the cabin release are the parts your team will inspect. Ask for the interval in writing before you order, and plan the schedule around it.
Which model fits which buyer
A mall or an indoor entertainment centre wants the 15 m tower, because it is the only one that fits under a roof. A city park or a family park starting a ride line-up wants the 25 m tower, because it delivers a real tower ride on one container.
A theme park or a scenic area building a landmark wants the 35 m tower for its skyline presence. A destination park that competes on height goes to the 63 m free fall, where the ride is the reason people travel.
Questions buyers ask before choosing
