Scorpion reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Scorpion, a roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa. (The minimum height to ride is 42 inches.)
Written by Jill Revelle Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Scorpion roller coaster hurtles guests at speeds exceeding 50 mph through maneuvers including a 360-degree vertical loop. Pulling three G’s, the “sting” of the Scorpion can be felt during the “carousel” maneuver in which riders are taken through three 360-degree horizontal loops in a spiral design. The Scorpion is located in the park’s Timbuktu area
Readers' rating:
People give this ride too much flak, 'cause it's in a high-traffic area and is a lot of people's first roller coasters. This wasn't my first (it was actually Montu if you're curious), but I've ridden it and it's still a lot of fun even now. It's one of Busch Garden's oldest roller coasters and it does show its age, but even so, it's still an enjoyable throwback! - Eric Malone Ya know, I like this coaster. It's fun for bein a short family looper. - brian newsome Reminded me of silver bullet at frontier city. - Steven D Very long wait time and short ride. Only for kids experiencing their first loop really. 5/10 - D H one of my first loopers love it - Manny Rodriguez This is one of my favorite rides at busch Gardens it was my first roller coster that went up side down, after the first time i rode it several times after that. - josh morgera This coaster has a loop with only a lap restraint. It has enough quickness to whip you around a small footprint to make it an enjoyable ride. - Carl Stovall More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
