TAMPA,
Fla.
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay today announced the grand opening of
Phoenix Rising, the most anticipated coaster of 2024. Pass Members
will be the first to soar high above the Serengeti Plain during
previews, July 17 - 20, 2024. The ride will open to the public
on July 21, when guests will have the chance to ride on the
wings of the legendary phoenix aboard North America’s tallest
and longest inverted family coaster, only at Busch Gardens Tampa
Bay. Phoenix Rising is the park’s tenth roller coaster and the
park’s first roller coaster to feature on board audio and lighting.
“We are excited to unveil Phoenix Rising to our pass members
and guests,” said Stewart Clark, Park President of Busch Gardens
Tampa Bay. "Our pass members are in for a special treat as they
get to be among the first to ride this incredible coaster. With
a height requirement of just 42 inches, it's an adventure the
whole family can enjoy together."
Aboard Phoenix Rising, riders will be immersed in an exciting,
family-friendly adventure as they soar above Busch Gardens Tampa
Bay’s Serengeti Plain and navigate through thrilling twists
and turns above the skies of Pantopia. Inspired by the legend
of the phoenix, this suspended roller coaster offers surprises
and speeds reaching 44 miles per hour. With a height requirement
of just 42 inches, guests of all ages can let their imagination—and
their adrenaline—soar as they feel the rush of the wind and
the thrill of flight.
