A 14-year-old boy has died after falling from the 'Free Fall' drop tower ride at Orlando's ICON PARK. Police were called to the scene around 11 Thursday night. ICON Park is located at Sandlake and International drive in Orlando.  Witnesses reported seeing a person fall from the ride to the ground. The victim was transported to a local hospital where he died from his injuries. The 'Free Fall' tower is 430 ft. tall and can hold 30 riders. The ride rotates as it lifts riders to the top of the structure. It then briefly tilts forward as riders look down at the ground and evenetually releases them for the 75 mph 'free fall'.
