The Premier Rides designed Tigris roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

It is time for another new coaster for me. Tigris was added in 2019 and replaced Busch Gardens aging Tanganyika Tidal Wave shoot the chutes ride.

Tigris is one of the many Premiere Rides Skyrocket II model coasters that SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment (the owners of Busch Gardens) purchased for SeaWorld San Diego, Busch Gardens Williamsburg and here.

These Premiere Rides Sky Rocket II's like Tigris pack a lot into an extremely small layout.

Tigris uses a magnetic launch system to shoot the train back and forth until it reached enough speed to traverse Tigris' highest point a hundred and fifty feet above the station.

When you get up there is when things get a little funky.
