Busch Gardens Tampa Showcases Cobra’s Curse as the next family thrill coaster ride. Premiering this summer! Bay News 9 Stirs you to look for the next Busch Gardens family thrill coaster ride, Cobra’s Curse, to open some time this summer!

This is a singular ride where the queue is part of your archaeological adventure. Your mission is to trek past the most dangerous snakes (Jameson’s Mambas, Angolan Pythons, Rhinoceros, and Gaboon Vipers) in the world in order to get to the buried treasure at the excavation site. There is only one catch-you have to get past snake king Venymyss! On a mining car train you will climb 70-feet high to the head of Venymyss, then in a backward helix, you will travel 2,152 feet at 40 mph!

“The snake exhibit at Cobra’s Curse will allow us to combine the best of what Busch Gardens has to offer – animals and thrill rides,” says Jeff Andrews, vice president of Zoological Operations at Busch Gardens.

The spinning car coaster is only part of the Cobra’s Curse experience, according to Jeff Hornick, Regional Director of Design and Engineering at Busch Gardens. It starts when you get in line.

Busch Gardens officials said the spin coaster is the only one of its kind in the world, featuring a 70-foot vertical lift and more than 2,100 feet of track. The maximum speed is 40 mph.

Located in the Egypt area of the park, explorers will come face-to-face with an 80-foot snake icon, trek over the park’s Serengeti Plain and discover the mysteries of an Egyptian archeological excavation.

Construction started in January 2015, and Cobra’s Curse will debut this summer.
