The new for 2024 Phoenix Rising Rollercoaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

Our next stop at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay was deep into Pantopia where the new Phoenix Rising has taken flight.

The name Phoenix Rising is a great name for a coaster on this plot of land as it is where the Intamin "Looping Starship" ride the Phoenix once sat. That Phoenix burst into flames and rose again as Phoenix Rising.

Phoenix Rising is an inverted coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard.

What's interesting is Phoenix Rising will be my first of the new family inverted coasters by B&M.

Instead of Bolliger & Mabillard's standard four across seating Phoenix Rising being a junior version has two across seating.

Phoenix Rising starts out with an eighty foot lift that is followed by a whole lot of fun.
