This was the first roller coaster I ever rode! It's still a thrill , however small. It isn't as smooth as the newer steel coasters , but worth riding!

Bethanne Babbs

Tiny but mighty! Lots of people, especially kids, ride this as their first upside down coaster . Much more thrilling and intense than it first looks-- definitely don't miss it!

Justin Lisenby

Really fun vintage coaster . Really has the fun 90’s ride experience. Fun for a kids first upside down coaster .

Vini Miranda

Fun coaster to go in a combo with Falcon's Fury and The Phoenix. Make sure to not eat before.

Rebekah Smid

Looks are deceiving. It may be small, but its intense. Watch out for the brakes when you pull back into the station, whiplash!

Busch Gardens

The Scorpion is one of only three roller coasters of its kind remaining in the world today, yet its sting is every bit as effective at instilling thrills through every twist and turn.

Chris Mays

This is an oldie but goodie. The hight limit is low relative to other inverted coasters . Great starter invert for small kids.

Vampy Asyko

Such A Great Starter Coaster

Felipe Zavan

Skip it if the line is more than 20 min. Its age shows, it rattles a lot.

Tony Viola

If you want to know what it feels like to be a Hot Wheels car, this is your coaster .

Rafael Fonseca

Not suitable for anyone over 6'4". Quite cramped. Last two rows have a little bit more legroom, but still tight.

Susan Pringle

Good chance to get on cause everyone is in line for the cheetah!

Gabby Carter

Lots of fun wait us normally not to bad

Kris Smith

Be ready for the brakes at the end!

Carlos Rodriguez

My first roller coaster :')

Greg Smith

If the wait is more than 10-15 minutes, it's not worth it.

Nikki S

Pretty short , but okay. Dont wait longer than 10 minutes, go wait for a better coaster .

It’s an awesome ride. Be ready though, it’s the most extreme coaster at Busch Gardens. Very fast and the majority of the ride is spent upside down. - Justin Lisenby

One of my favorite rides at Busch Gardens. So much fun to bring an unsuspecting friend onto it. It looks silly, but it's unexpectedly scary. - Chris Lontok
