Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is set to blur the lines between myth and reality with its latest suspended coaster, Phoenix Rising. This morning, our team was given a sneak peek at their new addition, which is set to open this spring. Join us as we dive into the details of Phoenix Rising, where fantasy takes flight in an all-new thrill.
Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, creators of coasters like SheiKra and Kumba, Phoenix Rising offers an exciting, family-friendly adventure. Embark on a mythical journey aboard the legendary Phoenix, soaring above the Pantopia section of the park. Experience the exhilaration of gliding at speeds up to 44 miles per hour along 1,831 feet of twisting track, with the highest point reaching 80 feet above the ground.
Phoenix Rising isn’t just about speed and height – it also places an emphasis on an immersive experience from the moment you enter the queue. As you make your way to the ride, you’ll encounter one of four unique phoenixes, setting the stage for what’s to come. Each train, accommodating 20 passengers in 10 rows, is equipped with onboard audio to enrich your journey. Original audio, distinct to each phoenix, syncs with your twists and turns, elevating the adventure and making every moment on Phoenix Rising truly unforgettable.
