BarryH Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 It's official (I hope)...BGT's web site is showing SheiKra will open on May 21. Whoo-hoo! Take a look here: http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/fla/sheikra.aspx
BoardwalkandBaseball4Ever Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Sweet, I've been waiting for that one for a while.... I wonder if it will live up to its hype? Anyone been on the similar coasters that are overseas?
SharkTums Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I actually really like Oblivion! Robb pretty much hates it, but he's also soured from the fact that the first time he rode it he had to wait 3 hours! It's another one of those 'one-trick pony's' but I liked it a lot! Hopefully Shakira will be good, but I'm concerned with the recent operations at BGT. Elissa "anyone know how many trains it's running" Alvey
TheStig Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 ^ Last time I was there (2 weeks ago) I saw 3 trains, one on a block before the station and the other two in the station. Im really excited about riding this and I think Ill head up the night before and camp out at the gates around 4 a.m. That is if they dont kick me out first! Colin C
SharkTums Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 ^Are you a member of ACE or the FLCC? I know that they have an amount of members they can bring to the media days! Elissa "then you don't need to camp out!" Alvey
BarryH Posted April 27, 2005 Author Posted April 27, 2005 ^For Media Day on May 19 and 20, I think you need to arrive around 4 am or 5 am! I don't get up that early unless I have to pee! Gosh, my flight on Friday leaves for Atlanta for a connection to LAX at 5:20 am. Yawn!
Coasterlicious Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Shakira will be performing, then riding herself with no seat belt to gain publicity..... Ok it was a dumb joke, but all I can think of is Shakira when I hear Sheikra... I so want a " I rode Shakira" photo..
TheStig Posted April 28, 2005 Posted April 28, 2005 Elissa, As a matter of fact I joined ACE on monday! But I wont be in town as my school trip is untill the 20th and I think Im heading straight to the park and camp out at the gates instead of heading there at 4 a.m.. But then again, Ill do whatever it takes to try and ride one of the first few trains!! Colin"already suggested a 4 a.m. WC meet!"C
FLCC Josh Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 If you are going to Media Day on Thursday, you have to be there no later than 4:00AM, as live TV broadcasting begins at 5:00AM. If you are going on Friday, you have to be there no later than 5:30AM. There will be a bunch of radio stations broadcasting on Friday.
socalMAN123 Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Cool! Finally Sheikra is going to open! When I saw the video, it didn't look like it was going that fast. Hopefully it will run faster when it officially opens. I have a question; why do people keep on saying Shakira, when it really is called Shiekra? ---Brent 8)
SharkTums Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 Because SheiKra is a weird, stupid name and sounds close enough to Shakira...and come on...wouldn't you rather ride Shakira>!?! Elissa "I hope she runs a lot of trains!" Alvey
Jeezus Juice Posted May 7, 2005 Posted May 7, 2005 I rather have it the other way so we run a train on her!
