The Thrills & Chills of Pantopia & Its New Fury
The most recent unveiling and makeover at Bush Gardens is Pantopia, the former section of the park called Timbuktu. The new area of shops and restaurants was designed around the long-anticipated Falcon’s Fury: The Ride. Pantopia expands the park’s food and retail offerings and gives a much-needed facelift to one of the park’s oldest sections. The new section was also designed to enhance the experiences and offerings for those too scared to ride the Falcon’s Fury. It’s now punctuated with bright colors, lanterns, mosaic work and other decorative accents and elements, but the basic rides and layout are essentially the same. Food is another focused fury hitting Pantopia, as Executive chef Ron DeBonis dishes out the hottest culinary trends. But the focal point of Pantopia is Falcon’s Fury, which stands an impressive 335 feet tall, the largest freestanding tower in the Unites States. The Falcon Fury ride’s namesake and highest point is likened to the high-flying, sky-diving bird of prey. With dangling feet, riders swiftly pivot 90 degrees in midair to a face-down dive position before the freefall-like feeling of a plunge 60 mph straight down. It’s a fast and furious thrill ride, people will be talking about for a long time after their Central Florida vacation full of numerous thrill rides at all of the parks.
