Busch Gardens To Unveil New Attractions

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is set to unveil new attractions in 2025.

First, get ready for Wild Oasis.

The attraction is for all ages and includes elements of a waterpark, ride and a safari that include a multi-species animal habitat for up-close encounters with some of the world’s most fascinating animals.

“It’s been five years since guests last stepped foot in the tucked away realm of Treetop Trails in the Jungala area of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, and we are thrilled to breathe new life into this corner of the park with the development of this realm,” says Stewart Clark, President of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. “The all-new Wild Oasis truly offers something for everyone – whether you love the thrill of the ride or learning about animals, getting wet or climbing high, or just cooling off under the shade of the rainforest canopy.”

An annual 2025 pass gives visitors exclusive access to the attraction before it opens to the public. Guests can also enjoy the newest coaster, Phoenix Rising, North America’s tallest and longest inverted family coaster. 

Busch Gardens is once again in the midst of reimagining its Howl-O-Scream event.

Wild Oasis at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

At Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, the all-new Wild Oasis realm promises to be a game-changer, becoming the most engaging and interactive adventure experience in North America when it debuts in Spring 2025.

Situated in the lush Jungala area, the Wild Oasis promises to spark imaginations and engross the senses by transporting visitors to a rainforest-like environment teeming with adventure. Expect a thrilling reimagined drop tower enhanced with state-of-the-art digital and sound effects, an interactive water-play wonderland, and a multi-level climbing canopy that will captivate the whole family. The realm also introduces an exciting new animal habitat, where guests can get up close with some of the planet’s most fascinating species.

The Wolf’s Revenge – Williamsburg

Meanwhile, Busch Gardens Williamsburg will introduce its most immersive family attraction to date—”The Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge”, an inverted roller coaster that brings a modern twist to the iconic Big Bad Wolf ride that thrilled park guests from 1984 to 2009.

This all-new coaster will take riders on a high-speed journey through a Bavarian village in the midst of preparations for the legendary Festival of the Silent Bells, where chaos unfolds with the return of a terrifying lupine creature. Casting riders in the role of the ravenous wolf itself, the coaster races through the German countryside over 2,500 feet of track, reaching speeds up to 40 miles per hour.

For decades, The Big Bad Wolf thrilled Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s visitors with its heart-pounding plunges through provincial villages and over the Rhine River. Capturing the same spirit of adventure, “The Wolf’s Revenge” provides the perfect blend of nostalgia and untamed exhilaration. Boasting a family-friendly design, the brand-new attraction can be boarded by kids as small as 42 inches with a supervising companion and 48 inches on their own.
