jarmor Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 "When it comes to the sky ride in the video it goes under now it seems like it will go over...will it go over or under? And was it always gonna be that way?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 In regards to the animal habitats, to what extent do decibel levels play a part when designing a major ride such as Cheetah Hunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonskeep Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 It's great to see an Intamin coaster coming to the area, what were the main factors for choosing them? Was anyone else considered for thr project? Compared to other BGT coasters with higher top speeds, will Cheetah hunt still feel fast IYO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjune4991 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 What will be the coaster and exhibit interaction, if any? As in, will the guests have a view into Cheetah Run as they exit the station? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rider-x Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 When deciding on a new coaster for the park, who comes up with the initial concept i.e is there a group focus or is one individual responsible for the Idea. Also, how do the attractions that other parks in the immediate market that have recently opened affect your decisions? p.s. thank you for choosing Intamin. Its about time we had one in Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Ka Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 In your opinion, does the relatively "dull" landscape of BGT and the rest of Florida help or hinder the design process for rides, particularly ones which interact so heavily with the ground as Cheetah Hunt does?

CCG2 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 "Why was the height restriction for Cheetah Hunt planned as 48" as with all other Intamin coasters with OTSR's the height restriction is 54"? Were the OTSR restraints for Cheetah Hunt modified to fit shorter guests?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterkid21 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Will the line for the ride be extensively themed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
