SandSerpent roller coaster being retired at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
After years of family-friendly turns, drops, and wild mouse maneuvers, SandSerpent at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is being permanently retired. Riders have just a few more weeks to enjoy this coaster before it closes forever.
SandSerpent is one of 10 roller coasters at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. Its retirement is part of new addition plans for the Pantopia area of the park. Those plans have not yet been revealed, but with Busch Gardens’ consistent fast construction speed, we will probably know what is coming by the end of the year.
Annual Pass Members can get exclusive early ride times on SandSerpent from June 30 to July 4. Pass Members and single ticket visitors can both take advantage of the current ongoing event, Summer Nights.
Summer Nights offers evening-into-night entertainment and roller coaster rides in the dark. This event, which is included in park admission, features fireworks on select nights, as well numerous entertainment offerings, sunset coaster rides, and an escape from the Florida summer heat.
Whether for the first ride or the millionth, it will soon be your last. Make Busch Gardens Tampa Bay plans soon. The last day to ride SandSerpent is July 9.
