Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced the grand opening of Phoenix Rising today (July 22), the most anticipated coaster of 2024. Now open to the public, guests can ride on the wings of the legendary phoenix aboard North America’s tallest and longest inverted family coaster, only at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Phoenix Rising is the park’s tenth roller coaster and the first to feature onboard audio and lighting.
“We are thrilled to officially open Phoenix Rising to our guests and pass members,” said Stewart Clark, Park President of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in a media announcement. “With a height requirement of just 42 inches, it’s an adventure the whole family can enjoy together.”
Aboard Phoenix Rising, riders will be immersed in an exciting, family-friendly adventure as they soar above Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Serengeti Plain and navigate through thrilling twists and turns above the skies of Pantopia. Inspired by the legend of the phoenix, this suspended roller coaster offers surprises and speeds reaching 44 miles per hour. With a height requirement of just 42 inches, guests of all ages can let their imagination—and their adrenaline—soar as they feel the rush of the wind and the thrill of flight.
