We stopped by Busch Gardens Tampa Bay this week and got a look at the latest construction progress on their new roller coaster, Phoenix Rising.
What’s Happening:
- Expect a blaze of excitement in Tampa Bay this coming Spring, as Busch Gardens brings to life a legend with its newest roller coaster Phoenix Rising – the park’s tenth coaster, and the largest family-friendly addition to the Pantopia area of the park.
- The bright blue coaster track first arrived at the park in January, and work has since been completed on the track surrounding the station area and the lift hill.
- This exhilarating new experience will have family members soaring above the Serengeti Plain before going on an exploratory journey over the Pantopia region, with its vibrant colors, thrilling attractions, and more. Riders will feel the rush of the wind and thrill of the flight in this suspended roller coaster that 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 at the park to feature on-board audio, enhancing the ride experience with a one-of-a-kind soundtrack, integrated into an exhilarating array of twists, turns and surprises for families riding together.
- Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, Phoenix Rising is a family-friendly suspended roller coaster, traveling at speeds up to 44 miles per hour throughout the 1,831-foot journey. With a minimum height requirement of 42 inches, Phoenix Rising will be the perfect attraction for thrill-seeking families to embark on and have fun together.
- We then took a ride on the recently reopened SkyRide, which offered a birds-eye look at the construction progress.
