This is Tigris at Busch Gardens in Tampa Florida It opened here on April 19, 2019 as Florida's tallest launched coaster. It replaced the aging Taganyika Tidal Wave which operated for almost forty years. That ride replaced a Jungle Cruise type ride called the African Queen Boat ride. The queue even utilizes some of the water troughs as walk ways and it also passes by the old station for the Tidal Wave.
This coaster is a Skyrocket 2 model from Premier Rides and launches riders three times (two forward and one backward) up to a height of 150 ft. (46 m) and a top speed of 62 mph (100 km/h). The track is 863 ft. (263 m) long and features a LSM launch, a in-line twist, and a non-inverting loop.
