Swamp Fox at Family Kingdom Adventure Park in Myrtle Beach, SC.

I've always liked Sheikra's lift. When you first crest the hill, you can see all the way to downtown Tampa and you can see the bay. Then a 180* turn to see USF and Lettuce Lake park before looking 90* straight down.

My roommate works at BG and he heard that the project may have been put on hold until 2014. He may have heard it from the Dippin' Dots man, but since we haven't heard much recently, I don't know. I hope it will be done by next summer so I can ride it before I leave Tampa.

So I saw this at Busch Gardens today: For one of the trains, a bar was put on the headrest in front of your seat so that you can use that to get up, instead of putting your hands near the shoulder restraints in front of you. They clearly say don't put your hands there, and the first person I noticed when I saw this train put his hands on the side and almost got a finger squished.

I would say best for me is Batman: The Ride or Montu, with the quick wing over and 180 degree tight turn. Worst would be Great Bear, with just a long S-curve over Superdooperlooper. Kinda boring.

Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

I remember my dad taking us kids there, and I didn't have a memorable time. Now, I can't wait to go back here! That ride looks absolutely amazing!!!

I really don't care if the name is Desert Dive (though it does bring up a thought of diving into a desert oasis?), but after the freak out by people over Cheetaka/Cheetah Hunt (enthusiasts and GP alike!) I would hope they either stick with this or get a popular poll done. I think getting poll done would be better for public approval, but getting the rights for the name later may be more difficult.

New tower name? - http://screamscape.com/html/busch_gardens_tampa.htm - parkrumors.com/desert-dive-busch-gardens-2013/ I dunno. I hope that BG is making the rumored name a bit boring so it can make a slightly better name for the drop tower.

How long did the shoot last? I wanted to do Wednesday at Busch Gardens, but I have class at 1. I just didn't know if it was feasible. I would really like to do this.

Pshh! I'm hoping they pick me for Scorpion and Air Grover!

This would honestly be the best birthday gift if I could go!

^No! It'll be just like the new Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando! It's a new theme park, but since they didn't have enough room for it, they needed to put it inside IOA!

They already have one... B&M B&M went pretty bold with a Wingrider and a 300ft coaster in consecutive years. I think they have a few more before they get a little more... innovative.

Maybe he just doesn't like going upside down. My girlfriend does not prefer too many loops in her coasters.

I thought painting a coaster a new color would only fool the peeps of RCT into thinking that it was a new and better ride. I guess a couple of them have escaped from the game!

Very nice. Very, very nice.

I went to Busch Gardens 4 times over the past two weekends (I haven't had a pass this year, so I needed catching up ) and I noticed a few things. First, this was the first time I've seen Montu's new QuickQueue line. It's very nice that it cuts through to the loading area rather than before where it would go through the exit. It fits nicely as well with the new wall in the regular path. However, 3 of those days had completely full parking lots. And in 4 of those days there was absolutely no line for Montu. So still no need for QuickQueue for Montu. Second, Kumba seems to be switching over to black restraints as well. Only one train had the switch so far. Third, the path between Ubanga-Banga bumper cars and the skyride has been blocked off. Now you must go through Jungala. My roommate works on Skyride, and he said that the rumor is that many people have commented that they didn't know Jungala existed, let alone there is an awesome tiger exhibit! So they did that to force people to walk around and see more. This is right after the tunnel under Montu's lift. The QuickQueue is on the right. I think this looks even worse than Montu. I really don't understand how people miss the tiger exhibit on the map as well. Oh well, now we take 26 more seconds to get to the same spot +/- the time spent gawking at the orangutans and tigers.

Non existent. Unless there are Brazilian tour groups (Like yesterday). In that case, keep your kids close.

Scorpion at BGA before class today.

Dang...thought this was a "I'm interested" thread for a Disney Around the World Trip!

Awesome job with Kodiak! I love the station, and the ride is fantastic! Great job with this!

You're going to Dubai! I believe that's what the tower clue was for. And I think I've seen some type of design like the last picture from Dubai.

He complains that the food prices are too high, so he steals a key chain? Makes sense.

I like.
