About this audio guide
This guide to ICON Park in Orlando returns to March 24, 2022, when fourteen-year-old Tyre Sampson climbed into a seat on the Orlando FreeFall, a tower that launched riders hundreds of feet skyward before dropping them back down. It follows what investigators later found about the ride's safety checks and the maintenance technician who says he had raised warnings for months beforehand. Stand in the plaza where the tower once stood before moving on.
