Midgetman82 Posted March 7, 2011 Posted March 7, 2011 I hope that hill calls for airtime (preferably "hairtime!"). Still looking good, any new pictures are good pictures! Thanks for showing them.
BaMiTsPaT Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I headed to the park today for my first time in three years, and not much has changed, but Jungala is neat for the kids, and Sheikra is a lot more fun floorless. Gwazi is not much better than I remembered it being, even with the new trains.

Gwazi is not much better than I remembered it being, even with the new trains. You didn't notice a difference in Gwazi because you hadn't ridden it in 3 years,3 years ago I enjoyed riding it.Before they closed it for the refurb and new trains the ride was getting to the point were you were lucky if you didn't break a rib on it,it just wasn't fun at all to ride,after 1 ride I was done riding it for the day.I rode it last month and sure it vibrates like a normal wood coaster but you can actually enjoy the ride,I could have stayed on it all day.

Hm. Sounds like the park went ahead with their plan to replace the wheels with squares, half-circles, and triangles immediately after I got my dozen or so blissfully pure rides (with PTC trains) on it this past November.

jjune4991 Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 And since Thursday when I had mine. But it's subjective, so hopefully BaMiTsPaT can go again and enjoy it some other time.
griffonj2022 Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Those have got to be some of the coolest trains ever
biomegaceu Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) Not my picture, but I found it on the internet. MOD EDIT: Image deleted. If you FIND" a picture on the internet, show some common courtesy and source where you found it. Edited March 9, 2011 by larrygator
coasterkyle Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Those decals do add a lot to the train... I think I found my new favorite train to look at.
Cole H Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Wow Sexy Cars I Want To Take A Ride! And Sit In It If You Know what i meen.
hbclarendon Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 (edited) There is another great update on LINK REMOVED. Check out this LINK REMOVED. What's up with the support to nowhere? It looked Photoshopped at first, but is it for the track down in the trench? Is there a better pic out there that I am missing?

PhantomNick Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Those trains look sweet!! And the coaster don't look too shabby either! We're trying to plan a trip down there to hit up the park, and I'm really crossing my fingers that it pans out. As soon as we left Busch Gardens Europe last summer, I turned to my wife and said "we MUST get to the other Busch Gardens in Tampa, post haste!" She whole-heartedly agreed.
StarTrekGeek Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Check out some new train pics (from JsnCarter87 at Florida Thrills): http://www.floridathrills.net/f195/busch-gardens-tampa-project-2011-cheetah-hunt-6661/index88.html#post91958
traincrossin Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Wow, those trains look even better with those details! Looks like only two cars on the track, i'd guess that they'd be using that train for the pull-through.
CP_RULES Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 I'd love to see a closer shot of the zero car, still can't quite make out what's going on there. The rest of the train look STUNNING, though.
B&MIntaminGCI Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 The trains look amazing. I need to get to Florida once this thing is open.
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 ^^You aren't going to have any luck linking to that site from here.
jjune4991 Posted March 10, 2011 Posted March 10, 2011 (edited) Now I know what website Robb doesn't like! Ok, here are the photos from today! Door was open! Wide view So because of the poles at the ends, this possibly will be a patio seating area. Nice details Soon to be waterfall! So here is the only change to the change to the wire. I'm no rocket scientist, but I think a change that small won't ruin everything like everyone is fussing about, IMO. Edited March 11, 2011 by jjune4991
