Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Announces New Attraction
After months of rumors about a new ride, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has announced the Serengeti Flyer as the park’s all-new attraction. Serengeti Flyer will be the world’s tallest and fastest ride of its kind, a screamin’ swing. They new attraction is set to open in spring 2023.
According to the press release: With each swing, riders will soar higher and higher above Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s expansive 65-acre Serengeti Plain while experiencing multiple negative-G moments before plunging back toward the Earth. Serengeti Flyer will feature twin dueling arms that soar progressively higher reaching speeds of 68 mph and a maximum height of 135 feet at the ride’s peak. Guests will be seated back-to-back in rows of 10 across two gondolas, allowing for 40 guests to experience the ride at once.
“Serengeti Flyer’s thrilling ride experience is bound to provide riders with a pulse-pounding encounter that can only be found at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay,” said Neal Thurman, Park President of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. “We believe that Serengeti Flyer will be the perfect high-thrill addition to our world-class portfolio of attractions including Iron Gwazi, the Golden Ticket Award Winner for the Best New Roller Coaster in 2022.”
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay annual pass members will be among the first to experience the new attraction upon opening in spring 2023.
While you’ll have to wait for the Serengeti Flyer to open, you can’t wait much longer to go to Howl-O-Scream, because it’s only open a couple more weeks. Howl-O-Scream is currently running on select nights through Oct 31st. Check out some pictures from this years opening night below:
