As with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Busch Gardens Tampa Bay officially confirms.
According to a recent post by Screamscape, Phoenix Rising at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay may open in mid-July.
“Looks like we can expect Phoenix Rising to open in mid-July, as the park has scheduled a media day to take place on July 12th. While we don’t know any dates for Passholder previews, I would expect those to take place just before or after the media day event.”

As of publishing this article, an official opening date for Phoenix Rising hasn’t been announced. Stay tuned for further updates.
Once again, as with any kind of rumour, this information should be considered unofficial until Busch Gardens Tampa Bay officially confirms.
Stay tuned to Orlando Theme Park Zone for more Orlando theme park-related news and information.
