Phoenix Rising is a family inverted roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida, United States. The roller coaster was manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), and officially opened on July 21, 2024 as the park's tenth roller coaster. Phoenix Rising mimics the sensation of the legendary phoenix taking flight. The roller coaster reaches a height of 80 feet (24 m), and has a maximum speed of 44 mph (71 km/h) during a 1-minute 26 second duration.[1][2]
Phoenix Rising is located in the Pantopia section of the park next to Falcon's Fury, Carousel Caravan, and Scorpion before its closure in September 2024.[3][4][5] The trains contain on-board audio with echoing “caws” being heard during the experience, with four distinct thematic options, each representing a different phoenix.[6] It is the most recent expansion and attraction at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.[7]
