Busch Gardens Tampa Bay wide shot of scorpion roller coaster

Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa Closing for Good on September 8, 2024! (History of a Classic Florida Roller Coaster)

It has just been announced that Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa, one of the few remaining early attractions in the park, is closing on Monday, September 8, 2024!

I remember as a kid, I would be fascinated by how much people screamed on roller coasters.

AND, I would stand beside each ride, looking at the other riders as I’d deem the ride’s worthiness or unworthiness based on how much people were screaming.

Yup, I was a budding adrenaline junkie alright.

My point is: if I were to visit the Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa as that twelve-year-old, I would still rank it pretty high.

Maybe due to my nostalgia…
