Formerly the Wild Maus of Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and formerly known here as Cheetah Chase, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Sand Serpent is perfect for a child’s first coaster experience. The whole family can enjoy the curves, drops and corkscrews of this traditional “wild mouse” coaster. The 1,200 feet of track tops out at a speed of 22 mph and is perfect for a child’s first coaster experience.

Use to wild mouse and Issie at BGW - vernon griffin

Small, rough and scarily unsafe feeling coaster especially when it takes a corner. Quite enjoyable, but inferior to the same kind of ride at Animal Kingdom. Fun but really feels like you are going to go flying off the track. - Emily G

a pretty good ride. not the best in the park by far, but a good family roller coaster. not worth a long wait, though. i found it pretty enjoyable. - Jake Gould

6/10. A little lame. But the turns are cool. - Nicholas Gammon

This is a standard wild mouse coaster, and I don't think it fits very well in the theme of the park, but it serves as a family coaster where the park had none. It is rough and small and boring though and it is also my least favorite wild mouse I've been on. - Patrick Gorham
