Last Chance to Ride SandSerpent at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay; Ride to Officially Close

Share

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has announced that the park’s SandSerpent will be closing soon, with the official last operating day as July 9.

The ride will be closed to bring a whole new experience into the park’s Pantopia area (although no word yet on what will replace it). The 5-story-tall roller coaster was a fun family-friendly ride that has been in operation for 19 years.

Annual Pass Members of Busch Gardens will also receive exclusive early morning access to ride SandSerpent from June 30-July 4.

Busch Gardens is the premiere theme park of the Tampa Bay area, offering 300 acres of attractions. It is also an AZA-accredited zoo, with thousands of animals and exciting seasonal events for guests of every age. For more information and tickets, make sure to visit BuschGardensTampa.com.
