Busch Gardens®:
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay offers Florida’s wildest rides across its expansive 335-acre adventure park. Get up close to some of the world’s rarest animals and experience their world. Feel the thrill of Tigris™, Florida’s tallest launch coaster, as it catapults you through dizzying twists, daring drops, and a 150-foot skyward surge, followed by an inverted heartline roll, mimicking the agility of the powerful tiger. Race across the Serengeti Plain® at the speed of the fastest animal on Earth on Cheetah Hunt®. Experience a heart-racing freefall as you plunge face-first on Falcon’s Fury®, plummeting 60 mph at 3.5 Gs straight down! Then, prepare for the jaw-dropping SheiKra, a floorless dive coaster that sends you 200 feet into the air before plunging you 90 degrees straight down at speeds of up to 70 mph. And don’t miss Iron Gwazi, the tallest hybrid coaster in North America, and the fastest and steepest in the world! Get as close to the wild as you dare at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay!
