Coaster Wars: Florida's TALLEST roller coaster opens this month in Tampa

Busch Gardens is officially opening its newest roller coaster later this month and thrill-seekers will want to know that this one is a real doozy!

The new attraction named "Tigris" will be Florida's tallest launch coaster and the park's ninth roller coaster.

We’re now told that a 10th ride is also in the works and is expected to open in 2020.

From Busch Gardens:

An innovative experience, Tigris will catapult riders through an exhilarating array of looping twists with forward and backward motion, breath-taking drops, a 150-foot skyward surge, and an inverted heartline roll, all at more than 60 miles per hour. Tigris will race riders along more than 1,800 feet of steel track designed to mimic the awe-inspiring agility of the world's largest and most powerful cat –the tiger.

Tigris is scheduled to open April 19.
