encounters, resulting in a unique park unlike others in the state. Since its 2022 debut, the park’s newest roller coaster, Iron Gwazi, remains North America’s tallest hybrid coaster, and the fastest and steepest hybrid coaster in the world.
One swing to rule them all By shifting focus from coasters to a thrill ride for 2023, the company took a holistic look at the existing ride collection. Serengeti Flyer’s size and scope, and family-friendly height limit, provides appeal to diehard thrill seekers and guests as they grow – both in physical size and bravery! “There is no doubt Serengeti Flyer is a great combination of fun and thrills,”
says Schaffer. “It further solidifies Busch Gardens Tampa Bay as the thrill ride capital of Florida.” “Serengeti Flyer swings up to 135 feet, which yes, that means it goes
beyond 90 degrees and you’ll go a little bit upside down,” Schaffer added. “It pushes you and it pulls you for about a minute and a half. It really is fun for everybody.” Since 2004, S&S Worldwide has brought its pneumatically powered
Screamin’ Swings to parks around the world. The rides have continued to grow, swinging to and fro, higher, faster, and for longer. As its website proudly proclaims, the company has created “One swing to rule them all”. The swing’s features include passenger capacities of 32 and 40 passengers
per ride cycle, an environmentally friendly air launch system, high guest throughput and a relatively small footprint. The ability to create custom configurations, such as Serengeti Flyer, allow parks to maximise their layout for the best guest experience – all of the attributes that fit Busch Gardens’ needs and goals. Most importantly, the chosen location for Serengeti Flyer, where the Rhino
Rally attraction once existed, provides a thrilling guest experience without impacting the wildlife in their park habitat. Serengeti Flyer opened to the public on 27 February. It is located in the Nairobi area of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
