Florida is home to 52 roller coasters (53 if you count dual track coasters as 2 - Space Mountain). In the past five years, we have welcomed many new coasters to our Florida line-up. In 2014, Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts at Universal Orlando Resort and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train at Disney's Magic Kingdom arrived. In 2015, Andretti Thrill Park added the Andretti Family Coaster. In 2016 we marveled at Mako at Sea World Orlando and Cobra's Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa! In 2017 our first ever wooden coaster with an inversion opened as MineBlower at Fun Spot America Theme Park: Kissimmee! In 2018, Disney's Hollywood Studios opened Slinky Dog Dash, a launching family coaster. In 2019, Busch Gardens Tampa opened Florida's tallest launching coaster, Tigris and Universal Orlando Resort took ride themeing and immersion to a new level with Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
Stay tuned, as we have many more coasters announced to open in the near future. Currently under construction is Iron Gwazi at Busch Garden Tampa, Ice Breaker at Sea World in Orlando, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at Disney's Epcot, and TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Disney's Magic Kingdom
