TAMPA, Fla. — Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced its newest roller coaster on Monday called the “Phoenix Rising.”
The park’s 10th coaster is the largest family-friendly addition to the Pantopia area of the park.
The suspended roller coaster enables ride cars and riders to swing side-to-side as the train races along the track high above the Serengeti Plain.
Phoenix Rising will be the first coaster to feature on-board audio, with a one-of-a-kind soundtrack.
The new coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard will travel up to 44 mph throughout the 1,831-feet journey, and has a minimum height requirement of 42 inches.
“Phoenix Rising will be an extraordinary journey for our seasoned coaster enthusiasts and younger thrill-seekers alike,” said Stewart Clark, president of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. “Joining a comprehensive coaster collection, this new attraction reinforces our commitment to provide guests with new, immersive and one-of-a-kind experiences.”
Annual pass members can get early ride access on Phoenix Rising prior to its public debut in spring 2024.
