Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has announced that the new Serengeti Flyer attraction will open in spring 2023.

Serengeti Flyer will consist of twin dueling arms where guests will be seated back-to-back in rows of 10 across in two gondolas. The arms will sway back and forth, and guests who are brave enough will be swung higher and higher, experiencing multiple negative-G moments before being sent soaring back toward the Earth. It will be the tallest and fastest ride of its kind, reaching 68 mph and a height of 135 feet.
