Record setting Serengeti Flyer ride coming to Busch Gardens
Coming spring 2023 to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Serengeti Flyer will take riders 135 feet in the air on the world’s tallest and fastest screamin’ swing ride. This new high-flying ride will bring numerous negative-G moments, wide-spread views of the park, and a serious thrill to the adventure seekers.

“Serengeti Flyer’s thrilling ride experience is bound to provide riders with a pulse-pounding encounter that can only be found at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay,” said Neal Thurman, park president of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. “We believe that Serengeti Flyer will be the perfect high-thrill addition to our world-class portfolio of attractions, including Iron Gwazi, the Golden Ticket Award Winner for the Best New Roller Coaster in 2022.”
With each swing, riders will soar higher and higher above Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s 65-acre Serengeti Plain while experiencing multiple negative-G moments before plunging back toward the Earth. Serengeti Flyer will feature twin dueling arms that soar progressively higher, reaching speeds of 68 miles per hour and a maximum height of 135 feet at the ride’s peak. Guests will be seated back-to-back in rows of 10 across two gondolas, allowing for 40 guests to experience the ride at once.
