RIDES:
Opening in 2024 – Phoenix RisingTM:
Phoenix Rising will be Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s tenth roller coaster, the largest family-friendly addition to the Pantopia area of the park and the first to feature on-board audio, enhancing the ride experience with a one-of-a-kind soundtrack. With a height requirement of only 42 inches, this exhilarating new experience will have family members soaring above the Serengeti Plain before going on an exploratory journey over the Pantopia region. Slated to open in Spring 2024. Pass members get to be the first to ride.
Serengeti FlyerTM:
Serengeti Flyer is the world’s tallest and fastest ride of its kind, providing riders with breathtaking views of the park’s expansive 65-acre Serengeti Plain. Serengeti Flyer features twin dueling arms that soar progressively higher, reaching speeds of 68 mph, a maximum height of 135 feet at the ride’s peak and the pulse-pounding thrill of multiple negative-G moments. The park’s new thrill features the capability to adjust the ride’s intensity level, giving guests the opportunity for a milder or wilder experience. Serengeti Flyer allows 40 guests to experience the ride at once, seated back-to-back in rows of 10 across two gondolas.
Iron Gwazi®:
Iron Gwazi is North America’s tallest hybrid coaster and the fastest and steepest hybrid coaster in the world. The new ride, winner of Amusement Today’s Golden Ticket Award for the Best New Roller Coaster in 2022, takes thrills to new heights, plunging riders from a 206-foot-tall peak into a 91-degree drop and reaching top speeds of 76 miles per hour.
TigrisTM:
Tigris opened in 2019 and is Florida’s tallest launch coaster. An innovative experience, Tigris’ triple launch will catapult riders through an exhilarating array of looping twists with forward and backward motion, breath-taking drops, a 150-foot skyward surge, and an inverted heartline roll, all at more than 60 miles per hour. Tigris will race riders along more than 1,800 feet of steel track designed to mimic the awe-inspiring agility of the world’s largest and most powerful cat – the tiger. Cobra’s Curse®: Putting a twist on family thrills with Cobra’s Curse, this one-of-a-kind spin coaster features a 70-foot vertical lift and takes riders on a whirlwind adventure of exciting explorations. Located in the Egypt area of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, explorers come face-to-fang with an 80-foot snake icon and discover the mysteries of an Egyptian archaeological excavation. Cobra’s Curse is also wheelchair accessible.
Falcon’s Fury®:
Located in the heart of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, the centerpiece of Pantopia™ is Falcon’s Fury®, North America’s tallest freestanding drop tower. This one-of-a-kind ride stands at 335 feet and takes riders soaring straight down. Like its bird of prey namesake, at the ride’s highest point, riders pivot 90 degrees in midair to a face-down dive position. An instant later they plunge 60 mph straight down.
Cheetah Hunt®:
Experience a new breed of speed, with Florida’s first triple launch coaster, Cheetah
Hunt. This mega-attraction begins at Cheetah Run® where guests are just inches away from the world’s fastest land animals. It’s a new point-of-view guaranteed to get anyone’s heart racing. Next take a seat on Cheetah Hunt and join nature’s fastest and most agile predator as it races across the Serengeti. This one-of-a-kind themed launch coaster climbs high above the African landscape and then races down along the ground and through a rocky gorge. With another burst of acceleration, guests leap over awestruck bystanders and head for home. It’s a 4,400-foot sprint that will take your breath away.
SheiKra®:
North America’s first dive coaster sends riders through a breathtaking three-minute journey 200 feet up to the edge of a 90-degree drop—and that’s just the beginning. “Floorless” cars give riders an unobstructed view of the 70-mph rush through an Immelmann loop (a simultaneous loop and roll), a second, vertical drop into an underground tunnel and a water feature finale, all packed into a half-mile
of steel track.
Kumba®:
After the blood-curdling thrill of an initial 135-foot drop, riders will plunge into a diving loop, feel a full three seconds of absolute weightlessness while spiraling 360 degrees, and tear through one of the world’s largest vertical loops.
Montu®:
Riders will feel the ultimate rush on one of the tallest and longest inverted roller coasters in the world! Guests experience the thrill of an inverse diving loop and a 60-foot vertical loop while they endure speeds of more than 60 mph.
Air Grover:
A junior coaster full of fun turns, mini-dives, perfect for parents and kids to ride together.
Scorpion®:
Riders will feel the “sting” of Scorpion’s terrifying 60-foot drop and 360-degree loop at incredible
speeds.
Congo River Rapids®:
Guests will encounter the swift-flowing white water of the Congo River Rapids. They
will spin through a geyser and face an ominous waterfall and other thrilling obstacles in a 12-person raft.

This log flume whisks the whole family through a splashing trip ending in a 40-foot
drop that’s sure to get everyone soaked.
