Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Announces All-New 2023 Attraction
It’s time for a new ride at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. It’s the world’s tallest and fastest of its kind.
The new ride is called the Serengeti Flyer. It will feature twin dueling arms, progressively swaying back and forth. The arms of the Serengeti Flyer will reach speeds of 68 mph, and will reach 135 feet high at its peak.
The all-new ride will soar high above the Busch Gardens Serengeti Plain. Riders will feel negative-G’s as the dueling arms swing back and forth. As a result, there will be opportunities to experience weightlessness over and over.
Busch Gardens Park President Neal Thurman said in a press release:
“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, 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.”
