Today, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced that it will officially open Tigris, a triple-launch steel roller coaster, on Friday, April 19, 2019. The new attraction is Florida’s tallest launch coaster and the ninth coaster in the park’s collection.
Tigris will catapult riders through an exhilarating array of looping twists with forward and backward motion, exhilarating drops, a 150-foot skyward surge, and an inverted heartline roll, reaching a top speed of more than 60 miles per hour.
Tigris joins a top-rated list of favorites for coaster enthusiasts, including Cheetah Hunt, the park’s longest coaster, SheiKra, a 200-foot tall floorless dive coaster, Falcon’s Fury, a 335-foot freestanding drop tower, Montu, an inverted coaster, Kumba, and Cobra’s Curse.
