Scorpion is a steel looping roller coaster located at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida. It opened in 1980 as a part of the newly added Timbuktu section that gave the park a complete circuit, linking the Congo section to the Nairobi section of the park.
Construction on the roller coaster began with the establishment of a new area in Busch Gardens: The Dark Continent, entitled Timbuktu, in February 1979. In the early 1980s, the Timbuktu area of the park opened, with the Scorpion purportedly to open at a later date in Spring 1980. Later on May 16, 1980, the Scorpion opened to the public. In 2004, the Scorpion was repainted from its original paint scheme of orange track and black supports to red track with blue supports .
