Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced Tigris, a new triple-launch steel coaster and Florida's tallest launch coaster, roaring to the park next spring, 2019.
Tigris will catapult riders through an array of looping twists with forward and backward motion, breath-taking drops, a 150-foot skyward surge and an inverted heartline roll, along more than 1,800 feet of steel track, all at more than 60 mph.
Tigris is being constructed in the Stanleyville area of the theme park adjacent to Jungala, which houses the park's endangered Bengal tigers.
The Tigris queue will include educational content about the plight of tigers in the wild and what conservationists – including the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund – are doing to help save them.
