HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — After more than 44 years of thrilling riders, Busch Gardens will be retiring its legendary Scorpion roller coaster in just a few weeks.
Park officials said the coaster will take parkgoers out one last time on Monday, Sept. 2, before it's shut down.
Scorpion made its debut in 1980 and became a fan favorite. It's even the last stationary coaster of its kind in the world, according to the park's press release.
While future plans are still under wraps, officials said new attractions will replace the retired coaster. They said an announcement about those developments will be released soon.
A South Tampa man turned to Susan Solves It after he said ADT told him he had to keep paying for a security system at his Hurricane Helene-damaged home, even though the system was so new that he never had a day of service.
