Busch Gardens Attractions Tampa Florida

Rollercoaster buffs can enjoy a topsy turvey day on superb rides like Kumba, where you hit some loops doing 60mph! Montu is an equally fearsome Egyptian thriller that will scare the pyramids off you, while Python also has a couple of twists in its tail! Cool off on the Tanganyika Tidalwave, where the spectators get wetter than the participants (don't tell granny!) or try the Congo River Rapids, an old favorite that seems to get wetter every time we ride it! Brand new is Sheikra a heart stopping ‘dive coaster’ that swoops straight down at a mind boggling 90 degrees!

      SheiKra carries riders up 200 feet at 45 degrees, then hurtles them 70 mph back toward the ground at a 90-degree angle. It is the first coaster of its kind in the Americas and only the third in the world.

SheiKra is the first dive coaster to incorporate an Immelmann loop, a water feature, and a second 90-degree 138-foot drop through an underground tunnel.

      Gwazi is Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's mammoth double wooden coaster. It is also the Southeast's largest and fastest double wooden roller coaster boasting more than 1.25 million board feet of lumber and over 2 million bolted connections. Named after a fabled lion with a tiger's head, Gwazi races riders through almost 7,000 feet of track and is two distinct coasters intertwined:

The Gwazi Tiger has an element that gives riders a slalom sensation more like a bobsled than a wooden coaster.

The Gwazi Lion's highlight is a seemingly continuous number of spirals.

You must be over 48 inches tall to ride Gwazi and other restrictions may apply.
