Busch Gardens Tampa Bay today announced the grand opening of Phoenix Rising, the most anticipated coaster of 2024. Pass Members will be the first to soar high above the Serengeti Plain during previews, July 17 – 20, 2024. The ride will open to the public on July 21, when guests will have the chance to 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 park’s first roller coaster to feature on board audio and lighting.
“We are excited to unveil Phoenix Rising to our pass members and guests,” said Stewart Clark, Park President of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. “Our pass members are in for a special treat as they get to be among the first to ride this incredible coaster.
