I couldn't wait to head over to Busch Gardens for the day - especially to see SHEIKRA! OMG
Anyways, I rode my first upside-down roller coaster! (please don't laugh)
Python - Extremely rough and it gave me a headache from smacking my head into the restraint. My advice is - don't wait in line for Python unless the wait is under 15 minutes. Besides, it's only about a 30 second ride. You go down, up, through 2 corkscrews, around, and you're done. Some great air time in the first drop, though.
So then we headed over to Sheikra and I was like "OMG B&M Vertical DROP COASTER" I waited in line but chickened out - 200 ft. straight is a bit more intimidating in real life than in pictures. So, while waiting for my sister and dad to get off, we sat and laughed at all the people getting soaked in the splash section of the ride. BTW - they changed the little tubes on the back of the trains to these weird box-shaped things. The water splash is more like a hurricane now.
We were watching scorpion go, but after hearing the constant "BAM! BAM! BAM!" of the trains going through the whole track, we decided to avoid riding.
Once that was over, it was time for GWAZI. I'd never been on a GCA woodie before - and boy am I glad I went on this one. While riding, it looks like the track ahead of you will be VERY painful, but it's actually planned out so the ride is exciting and gets you all confused. You get a headache each time you ride it from the severe bumpiness, but it's well worth it. I even rode it 5 times in a row.
We also went to Montu, which was great - the first loop was awesome and the underground parts were pretty cool. It was a bit amusing while waiting in line since the train got stuck for about 10 mins. on the lift hill.
Cheetah Chase was a pretty fun coaster. I thought it would stink because of how rough "Ragin Cajun" is at Six Flags Great America, but it was a great and smooth ride - don't miss it if you go!
There wasn't enough time to get to Kumba but I hope to come back next time we take a trip to florida.
Busch gardens was great - if you go, make sure to stand at the bottom of the first hill of SheiKra and watch a few trains speed past you. It feels like an earthquake - see you next with:
SIX FLAGS GREAT AMERICA, CEDAR POINT (maybe), and PARAMOUNT'S KING'S ISLAND (maybe)
