Wild new Busch Gardens attraction will swing riders at more than 60 miles per hour

TAMPA, Fla. — Busch Gardens is adding to its already deep supply of thrill rides with a “screaming swing” attraction that will fling riders high into the air when it opens next spring.

The Tampa theme park already has 10 thrill rides, the most of any theme park in Florida. On Tuesday it announced that the Serengeti Flyer will join the club with twin dueling arms that progressively sway back and forth, reaching speeds of 68 miles per hour and a 135-foot height at its peak.

The ride will levitate guests out of their seats with each swing as their legs dangle while they soar, reaching multiple negative-G moments before plunging back toward the ground.
