Scorpion • Busch Gardens Tampa

Fun Theming

now this is a nice old Schwarzkopf coaster. Its very fun to ride and pretty comfortable, only a slight rattle. But I think the coaster doesn't really fit in there, its a fun ride but a bit out of place and lacks theming

Inversions Harness Layout

Some nice, toned-down Schwarzkopf insanity. Final helix can make you quite dizzy but the ride itself is great fun, love having the lap bars.

Lap Bar Fun Intensity

This is a great classic Schwarzkopf. The loop is intense and the trains are great with just the lap bar. The rest of the layout is full of intense turns and helices. Always a fun ride if the lines not too long.

First ride, I love it

Nice surprise! Intensity Capacity

Surprisingly strong ride! Grayed out twice, after the loop and in the final helix. The roughness is not a problem and the curves are nicely profiled. Capacity is not good, with one train seating 20 your only vehicle. Ride this before it gets sent away!

Comfort Intensity Rattle Capacity

Scorpion was my 150th coaster credit, chosen by me for my love of Schwarzkopf’s classic coasters and this model’s rareness. It did somewhat deliver that hallmark Schwarzkopf intensity in the vertical loop and bizarre but awesome 900° helix, however, there was a very prevalent rattle throughout the entire ride. The train seemed to be frantically shuffling about as soon as it hit that loop, resulting in some awkward jolts and bounces from side to side. Putting this con aside, Scorpion is a solid family looping coaster that delivers a reasonably fun introduction to going upside down for coasterfans in training.

Nice surprise! Fun Intensity Capacity

The best choice in Florida for a first looping coaster. Though the one train operations plague this ride with long lines, it's comfortable with a surprising punch, and fun for everyone.
