SeaWorld Parks has announced two new rollercoasters at its Busch Gardens attraction, as well as a ban on polystyrene foam dinnerware products across all 12 of its theme parks.
At Busch Gardens, now celebrating its 60th anniversary, Tigris, Florida?s tallest launch coaster, is set to open in spring 2019. Additionally, construction has begun on a hybrid coaster, opening in 2020. It will be North America?s tallest hybrid, and the fastest, steepest hybrid coaster in the world.
As part of the group?s ongoing environmental programme, it has removed polystyrene foam dinnerware products, including bowls, plates and trays, from all of its dining operations. The company has invested in projects to reduce energy and water use and the amount of waste it generates, including drought-resistant landscaping, LED lighting and installing solar panels at its Aquatica San Diego park.
