Free fall ride vs. Free fall tower with rotation
Freefall ride and Freefall Tower with rotation are two similar but different rides that are popular in amusement parks. The main differences between them are as follows:
| Understand the key differences between the two | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Difference | Free fall attraction / Drop tower attraction | Free fall tower with rotation / Rotating tower attraction | |
| Principle of operation | The platform rises to the top and suddenly releases, creating the effect of free fall | The platform rises with rotation, then falls with rotation around the axis | |
| Work mechanism | Rise → pause → sharp fall | Rotating rise → rotating fall | |
| Stimulation level | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | |
| Feeling of experience | Free fall and weightlessness | A hard fall + a feeling of disorientation | |
| Additional effects | Light and sound effects, a short pause at the top to build tension | Rotation, panoramic view, enhanced visual experience | |
| Applicable people | For lovers of straightforward and powerful sensations | For lovers of extreme sports and unusual attractions | |
| Applicable places | Extreme sports venues, scenic spots, theme parks, etc. | Amusement parks, family and children's amusement parks, scenic spots, etc. | |
How does the free fall attraction work?
A free fall ride is an attraction created using the phenomenon of free fall in physics. Its platform can lift passengers to a great height and then fall vertically at a speed almost accelerating under the force of gravity. Before landing, the platform is stopped by a mechanical device. This instant feeling of weightlessness and strong visual impact make visitors feel as if they have had a real “jumping off a building” experience.
The principle of acceleration under gravity:
Free fall principle The tower ride is mainly based on the principle of gravity acceleration. When the cabin rises to a certain height, it will start to descend under the force of gravity. During the descent, visitors will feel a sharp sense of weightlessness and speed, and also experience the thrill of jumping from the building.
Electromagnetic or pneumatic drive:
The electromagnetic drive uses electromagnetic force to control the lifting and lowering of the cabin, and the pneumatic drive controls the lifting and lowering of the cabin by changing the air pressure; Both driving methods can ensure the stability and safety of the cabin during lifting and lowering.

Safety and security attraction free fall: numerous measures to ensure the safety of tourists
Although the tower ride provides the most exciting experience, safety is always the most important issue for amusement parks. To ensure the safety of visitors, the free fall ride follows strict standards and specifications in the design and manufacturing process.
Reliable protective device
- Safety restraints: are equipped with seat belts, safety rails and other devices to ensure that tourists do not fall due to excessive speed or improper posture during the visit.
- Stable support structure: The tower body structure is stable and can support the rotation and elevation of the cabin to prevent accidents caused by structural instability.
- Detection sensor: Equipped with sensors to detect the speed of raising and lowering the passenger seat to maintain normal operation of the entire machine.
Enhanced security system
- Comprehensive security monitoring: Set up a safety monitoring system to monitor the working status of free fall in real time, including key parameters such as speed, position and load.
- Induction alarm system: equipped with sensors and alarm systems. If abnormal parameters are detected, an alarm signal is immediately given and appropriate safety measures are taken.
- Limiting and braking system: Install the limit protection device. Once the visitor exceeds the safety distance, the equipment will automatically stop working. At the same time, the brake system can quickly brake in emergency situations to ensure the safe stop of the equipment.
Professional safety training and drills
- Safety training: Provide professional safety training to operators to ensure they are familiar with work procedures and free fall safety regulations.
- Emergency drills: Conduct regular emergency drills to improve operators' ability to respond to emergencies.
Regular maintenance checks
- Safety Rating: Conduct regular safety assessments to ensure that all free fall performance and safety indicators meet standards.
- Security check: Establish a regular maintenance system and carry out detailed inspection and maintenance of each component to ensure the normal operation of the equipment.
- Replace wearing parts: Replace wearing parts regularly to prevent accidents caused by aging or damaged components.
Comprehensive safety propaganda
Age and height restrictions: In accordance with the design features and safety requirements of free fall, there are age and height restrictions for tourists.
