stormrider Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 In response to the post about B&M sucking, there is some substance to that. I don't think they suck, but there are plenty of people who find inversions to not be fun, but sickening. Sometimes on B&Ms I get the most disoriented becase the smoothness doesn't register in my brain as going upside down (weird) so . . . I actually like that. And I wish I went to BGA to ride Sheikra but no I had to go to Disneyworld Anyways, Griffon, yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
commander jigga Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 This is just a guess but I'm thinking Griffon's layout is gonna be the same as SheiKra's just 10 feet taller. I am thinking something similar to Sheikra, maybe it will have a dive loop instead of an immelman, and maybe a flat spin. Otherwise I would think that the ride will have about the same type of ride as Sheikra anyway couple more days and we will all know. Should be a fun ride none the less. I know I will go and ride it. My guess is it will have an inversion as well. From the teaser, you can see a a brake in the same spot as the one SheiKra has. So I'm putting my money on the SheiKra layout.

DarkStitch626 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Sheikra layout..um no.. On the teaser vid it shows the second drop in the back , on Sheikra the over bank turn is back there. The second drop on sheikra faces the first one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECZenith Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I think the cool (not opinion, temp wise) colors will fit the area nicely with Alpy having the white and green. Warm bright colors would definatelty clash. I also happen to like the slightly tealish blue, and just how Montu represents a hot setting and Alpy a cold... they do it once again with SheiKra and Griffon.

matteocrepaldi Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Is it possible that the countdown on the BGE website follows my computer clock which is set on Italian time? If that's possible, now that the cowntdown here has reached zero there are still 6 hours to wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexTitan01 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I dont think that BGE palnned to have the coaster unveiled right at the stroke of 1:00am on August 3rd. Theres probably gonna be a press release sometime today, then everyone invited is going to get on their computers and inform the world. I honestly dont expect to know anything until this evening. But hey, I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 And I wish I went to BGA to ride Sheikra but no I had to go to Disneyworld Only in the coaster world will you find someone complaining about going to Disney. I don't know if someone said this already, but Busch Gardens has changed the first two pages of the site (Pick a park, 100 miles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
