Family Thrill Coaster to Open Friday, June 17
TAMPA, Fla. (June 10, 2016) – Busch Gardens Tampa Bay announced today that the highly anticipated opening of the park’s newest attraction, Cobra’s Curse will be officially open Friday, June 17.
Cobra’s Curse Striking Facts:
- One-of-a-kind spin coaster features a menacing 30,000-pound snake king icon and a 70-foot vertical lift that will take riders within inches of its 3 foot-wide eyes and 4-foot-long fangs.
- During the three-and-a-half-minute ride, the coaster trains speed along at 40 mph down 2,100 feet of serpentine-like track, travelling backward, forward and then spinning freely.
- Guests will experience a new spin with each ride. Each train spins randomly, with frequency and direction determined by the rider weight distribution.
- The ride’s air-conditioned queue naturally fuels guests’ adrenaline with an immersive themed experience and a state-of-the-art snake exhibit featuring four exotic snake species including some of the world’s most feared and often misunderstood vipers.
- Riders must be 48 inches to ride, or 42 inches with a parent or guardian.
I get really excited when I see a queue with a lot of theming, especially in the Orlando area (yes, I know it’s about an hour from Walt Disney World). After my first visit to Busch Gardens Tampa last year, I can’t wait for my next trip. It’s gorgeous and feels more like how Disney’s Animal Kingdom should have been done. It’s got world-class coasters, family attractions, shows and amazing animal displays.
