Sand Serpent, Steel roller coaster in Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Florida.

The Sand Serpent is a steel coaster featuring sharp turns and sudden drops along its winding track. The ride reached speeds of 28 miles per hour with a maximum height of 46 feet.

The coaster was originally installed in 1996 at Busch Gardens Williamsburg before relocating to Tampa Bay in 2004 under a different name. It operated under several different names before closing in 2023.

The ride's first name, Wild Izzy, came from Izzy, the mascot of the 1996 Summer Olympics, because Busch, the park's owner, sponsored the Games. Its cars carried the colours of the Olympic rings along with lightning bolts and stars. After the 1996 season the Olympic theming was dropped and the coaster became Wild Maus.

Sand Serpent closed permanently on July 9, 2023, so it can no longer be ridden; the site in Pantopia was cleared for Phoenix Rising, which opened on July 21, 2024. Visitors looking for the old ride will find the replacement coaster in the same section of Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

The original 1996 cars carried the five colours of the Olympic rings plus lightning bolts and stars, matching the Wild Izzy name taken from the Atlanta Games mascot. The final version ran blue track on orange supports with solid blue, orange or red cars.
