Tanganyika Tidal Wave was a Shoot The Chute built by US manufacturer Arrow Dynamics previously located at Busch Gardens Tampa in Tampa, Florida, USA. The attraction was 1,300 feet long and culminated in a 55-foot drop.[1]
History
Tanganyika Tidal Wave opened on June 15, 1989 and replaced the African Queen Boat Ride river cruise ride. It reused many of the former attraction's troughs and theming, with a new 55-foot drop added at its end.[2]
Tanganyika Tidal Wave closed on April 10, 2016. It remained standing but not operating until it was demolished in 2018 in preparation for Tigris.[3] The attraction's queue and station remain, as does some of its rockwork that is now used in Tigris' queue.
