Dombot Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 ^ What he said. I went on a field trip on a Thursday when I was in like seventh grade and the park was a ghost town. I lost count on how many times I rode SheiKra that day. While we're on the subject of refurbishments, any word on Phoenix? It's been closed for almost a year now, I think... maybe longer than that. Is it officially SBNO? Are they doing a complete overhaul of the ride mechanism or something?
B&MIntaminGCI Posted April 4, 2019 Posted April 4, 2019 From reddit, RMC track has shown up to the park and is indeed a nice purple. The color looks so beautiful.
DoinItForTheFame Posted April 8, 2019 Posted April 8, 2019 Well, in case anyone else missed it (like I did...) BGT has announced on Facebook that Tigris will be opening on April 19th!!!
thrillrider Posted April 13, 2019 Posted April 13, 2019 Just a few shots of construction that I took last week at the park.
djcoastermark Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Surprise ! Guess what is open ? 2 days early. (okay, if you are a pass holder) https://www.wfla.com/news/hillsborough-county/tigris-florida-s-tallest-launch-coaster-opening-this-month-at-busch-gardens/1899895275
hoppedup Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 ^ From that article: "The track is designed to "mimic the awe-inspiring agility of the world’s largest and most powerful cat – the tiger."" I thought it mimicked an electric eel, or maybe a zombie, or Superman...

Too Fast For Comfort Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I got 9 laps in on Tigris yesterday. It was what it was. Tempesto South. It was meh. Kinda fun, but too short. It was what it was.
coasterbill Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I mean... yeah. Did you think they were going to throw in an invisible drop track and six more barrel rolls? Why did you ride it 9 times then? PS: Do you even enjoy theme parks?

A.J. Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 It was what it was. Tempesto South. You act as if the majority of Busch Gardens Tampa's guests know what a Tempesto even is.
Too Fast For Comfort Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I blocked coasterbill a while ago, but I saw that JRice92 fed the troll for some reason. Sorry that I wanted to make an honest unbiased comment about a coaster. I don't see what part of "It was what it was. Tempesto South. It was meh. Kinda fun, but too short. It was what it was" makes it unridable. But whatever. The lines were short, and I know that it'll have two hour lines after the official opening so I wanted to some laps in on it when I could. I guess that Mr. Bill's opinions are the only ones that matter, so that's cool.
southpuddle Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I got 9 laps in on Tigris yesterday. It was what it was. Tempesto South. It was meh. Kinda fun, but too short. It was what it was. Man, BGT is gonna have to find some way to redeem themselves in 2020 to make up for this travesty. What could they possibly do to dig themselves out of this abomination of a hole? What a shame.
cfc Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) ^ From that article: "The track is designed to "mimic the awe-inspiring agility of the world’s largest and most powerful cat – the tiger."" I thought it mimicked an electric eel, or maybe a zombie, or Superman... . . . or a famous Italian daredevil's bicycle stunt. But, yes, your average park guest isn't going to make the connection with Tempesto. Edited April 17, 2019 by cfc
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 It is nice that, despite these rides getting cloned a lot, they are all in completely different areas of the country. Now we just need one in the midwest - maybe Worlds of Fun or SFSL? But to stay on topic, Tigris looks great and seems to be a nice addition. LOVE the color scheme.
CoasterAuditor Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 For some reason I watched the POV of Tigris......yup.
Dombot Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Got my one ride on Tigris last night, first row of the last car. It's what I expected, but it's still fantastic. It's a clone, but the location is fantastic and the ride is crazy intense despite it's length. I love these rides, they're probably my favorite clone model and even with the comfort collars this is still a huge win for the park. Now to wait until next spring.

I guess that Mr. Bill's opinions are the only ones that matter, so that's cool. "it was meh" then you say you rode it 9 times. if it was "meh" then why ride it more than once, no matter how short the line is? go look at the Wallabys or Flamingos, or Hippos. . or you know.. ride something "better" (Kumba, Cheetah Hunt, Scorpion, Shiekra, Montu, Falcon's Fury, Stanley Falls, the skyride, etc. . ) and it's absolutely hysterical that you think bill is a "troll". . .
SharkTums Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 and it's absolutely hysterical that you think bill is a "troll". . . Exactly what I was thinking!
Skyrush4Life Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I got 9 laps in on Tigris yesterday. It was what it was. Tempesto South. It was meh. Kinda fun, but too short. It was what it was. Ok but just for the sake of clarity...was it what it was?
boldikus Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 Tempesto South. It was meh. Sorry that I wanted to make an honest unbiased comment about a coaster..
CoasterAuditor Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I've never considered Bill a "troll" ever. More of a voice of "reason/humorous logical sarcasm."
boldikus Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I've never considered Bill a "troll" ever. More of a voice of "reason/humorous logical sarcasm." Actual screenshot of the first (private) discussion we ever had: The rest is history.
Dombot Posted April 17, 2019 Posted April 17, 2019 I've never considered Bill a "troll" ever. More of a voice of "reason/humorous logical sarcasm." Honestly I don't even understand why he could ever be considered a troll in the first place. "I don't agree with this person on something trivial, so he can't be trusted! BLOCKED!"
