Maybe they should close Rolling Thunder and make a water ride in the Golden Kingdom, swings, and a S&S Extreme Swing and a new pathway from El Toro to that land!!!!

If Holiday World was to add a steel coaster, I would add a B&M Flyer in the 4th of July section and be American themed like have it called Patriot or the American Eagle or Bald Eagle. Have it dive to the water like Manta. That'd be cool!!!

The only thing I'm worried about for next year's addition is a River Battle. Nobody goes to SFA and nobody will ride that and it won't be fun because there's no people on it.

I'm leaning towards a Gerstlauer Euro Fighter and we already know that it'll be pirate themed. Maybe a Batman clone?? Whatever it is, it'll be a great pirate attraction.

I didn't say Cheetah Hunt was a bad ride! OMFG! You know what I meant!!! God! Sorry for pointing out a opinion. Good lord. People are harsh.

^ I didn't mean it like that. I just thought that it would be a 52 inch or 54 inch ride. Sorry! Cheetah Hunt was amazing but it could've been better if it was faster, do you not agree? They probably did that so more KIDS can ride. That's all I meant. Not like Cheetah Hunt is a baby ride. Are you crazy?

I think Sheikra just slighty wins here. I think it has better theming and surrounding area than Griffon. Griffon is good it's just the Immelmans don't compare to the one on Sheikra. Is it me or is the loop on Sheikra really good if you're facing the train, it's the left side. I love the tunnel too which Griffon doesn't have. SHEIKRA.

I really do think that there will b a water ride next for Busch Gardens Hopefully it's a good thrilling one. They've been making a lot of childish additions like Jungala, Sesame Street, Cheetah Hunt...48 inch kids can ride so hopefully...if they make a water ride...it will be good and 48 inches so it can b thrilling! Tidal Wave should be like a 36 in not 48 haha

I really think they need to redo like all of the areas and repaint, new concrete, landscaping, and remove rides that nobody rides. Remove Rolling Thunder and make a new big pathway from El Toro to the Golden Kingdom and expand it and add like a huge S&S Swing. Bigger than Cedar Point's. They really should add trees and theming to the park. They need to reliven the park and keep it. No slacking! Also, actually train your employees good.

Apollo's Chariot. Apollo's Chariot is my #5 coaster and Nitro is #6. I just liked everything about Apollo compared to Nitro. It just has better views, theming, landscaping, and just a better ride. I love both though. I love all B&M Hypercoasters! They're my favorite!

I was hoping they would build a pathway from Scropion to Sheikra. Give Scorpion new trains and move the entrance. Also, move the market shop where Sheikra is to complete the pathway. More animal exhibits and I honestly don't see another coaster for a long time. Where will they put it? I see a Giant Swing from S&S going to BGT and a zip line through the Congo would be awesome! Maybe they could do away with Tidal Wave and make a new better water ride from Intamin! Their water rides are only ok. Not really worth it. The only thing I could think of with a new roller coaster is the midpoint Skyride station, reopen that and create a new land and put a B&M Hypercoaster and reopen that restaurant!

I just got back from Busch Gardens. It's my birthday and went to the park to ride Cheetah Hunt. We were first to the park, first in line and once the ropes dropped, my mom, my sister and I sprinted to Cheetah Hunt. We were the lead of the pack with many following us. We were the first riders of the day in the front row. It is so much better than it looks. The launches are great. The loop is insane. The Rhino Rally feature was amazing. The 3rd launch into the hill was so cool! It is a lot faster than it looks. It was running great all day! It had about an 80 minute wait all day. Sheikra was down from park opening and was still down when I left. Cheetah Hunt provided airtime, hangtime, and a lot of speed. I can only imagine if it was like the animated video! It's a great ride. I love launch coasters. Photos coming soon!

Reviews are amazing and what was expected. This is such a beautiful ride. I can't wait until I go and get pictures from the Skyride station! It is a long ride too!

I'm going on my birthday next Friday to ride it! I can't wait! Does anybody know the best seats and can you touch the water in the Rhino Rally portion? It looks really close to the water. Any ride reviews?

It looks somewhat slower than the animated video, well at least the first half. The Rhino Rally portion looks amazing and the third launch to the brakes. The first 2 launches look really slow and I just hope it's the best thrilling ride there because I'm getting really tired of Kumba and Montu is getting a little boring too. I just rode them too many times. How would you compare Cheetah Hunt to Manta?

The only thing I'm disappointed is the 2nd launch. This ride is built for speed and adrenaline. They were promoting all of their videos that it was tons of speed and I thought they were going to get as close as possible to the animated POV. I was looking forward to this ride hoping the speed would increase but now it just doesn't look to be the same. I thought this would be the best ride in the park because of the speed and looking at the videos, I guess not. Is the waterfall running in the Rhino Rally portion?

Cheetah Hunt construction! Trip Report to come soon! I couldn't get to the Crown Colony viewing area as it was closed until 1:00. I got to the park first thing and did my thing but it was closed until 1:00... Hope you like the pictures. Coming to Busch viewing Montu! Cheetah Hunt at the entrance of the park! First headed towards Gwazi with the new trains! SO MUCH BETTER! Lion is my favorite and a lot smoother than Tiger. Lion going down the drop! Cheetah Hunt tower through the trees! Great scene! Morning rise to Cheetah Hunt! Through the trees again...great setting! Walls are down and landscaping are done under the tower! Looks great! Under the arch view. Another view. Walking around toward Montu with the tower popping over the wall. New landscaping around the first turn and trench. Looks fantastic! Entrance! It said it had a 240 minute wait. O GOD!!! Tower shot! The theming is phenomenal!!! This is probably the best themed coaster after Expedition Everest! Cheetah Hunt coming back from Montu. First Turn. Entrance again. I can't believe this used to be the Skyride entrance. Another tower shot! Another first turn shot. This is a very photogenic ride! The views are going to be amazing from the ride experience. First turn. Tower. Cheetah Run through the glass! Crossroads entrance overlook. Another look. Tower from the Arch. The new landscaping under the tower. Just amazing. Under the tower and through the sun. Tower by the drop. Looking back towards the Skyride station and Drop. Looking ahead. Last element of ride. Hop! Amazing view. Heading to Kasi, Mtani, the baby aardvark, and many exotic animals! Sleeping...aww In person...they are adorable. Baby aardvark! He was wide awake and roaming around his room and sniffing I guess. Cheetah Hunt Corkroll. Cheetah Hunt into and out of the Rhino Rally portion. If only there was a Cheetah Hunt train there.

It'll probably be an extra charge like the one in Orlando but it looks great! The Wahalla Wave has me confused but sounds cool...weightlessness! Great revamp to Lost Lagoon!!!

The pictures I'm trying to upload is too large of a size I can say that the walls and railings are down where the tower is and the landscaping looks great! The area looked complete I rode Gwazi finally with the new trains and they are so much better. I hate rough woodies but now I can re-ride this one. Lion is far more smoother than Tiger. My favorite is Lion back row. Dispatch times are a lot better and it raced the whole day but Lion was always down the drop when Tiger was starting to go down. The workers were really efficient...especially Sheikra! That had to be the shortest wait I've ever had and they were dispatching trains really fast! Great work BG. Probably training for this weekend. Skyride was testing all day! Cheetah Hunt wasn't. Can't wait til Friday!!!!!

I was there today and will upload pics later...the Skyride was testing from 9:45 am until I left which was around 12:30. I have a season pass so I went and rode Gwazi twice, Montu, and Sheikra. Park opened at 9:30...I was first in the park. The cheetahs were in the barn and the construction walls and yellow railings are now gone in front of Caravan Crossing and the tower. The landscaping under the tower looks great!

^Thanks. It's a shame of how they cant get it to soft open unlike they had Manta have it soft open 2 weeks before...not 2 days. Oh well...will b taking lots of pictures though.

Great pictures! Does anybody know of a soft opening?? Going to the park tomorrow. Do I need 50 posts to post pictures??? I hope not...my old account got messed up so I made a new one. UGH haha

Despicable Me sounds great but Universal...how many 3D things do you have? There are 3 at Universal Studios Florida right now. Spiderman looks amazing though!!! Can't wait for these attractions! Should be an excellent addition.

I was 3 or 4 years old and rode Goofy's Barnstormer at Magic Kingdom!!! HAHA

Going this summer to Great Adventure at the opening of the park...any tips or suggestions???
