ORLANDO, Fla. — Florida’s theme parks are plunging into a record year for roller coasters. At least four of the rides will debut in 2022, the most active period in almost two decades.
The Interstate 4 corridor will see a diverse set of new coasters, from the intense Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay to the gentle, kiddie-inspired Daddy Pig Roller Coaster at Winter Haven’s Peppa Pig Theme Park, which opens next month.
SeaWorld Orlando’s Ice Breaker officially debuts Feb. 18, although previews for select annual passholders have started already. And at Walt Disney World, an indoor coaster called Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, is set to open at Epcot sometime this summer.
