jedimaster1227 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) ^^Sorry to say Hydra, the tour is a closed event with very limited access. I'll be going to represent the site so rest assured, your questions will be asked and hopefully answered!

RoCo Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 What were the unique construction/engineering challenges posed by this terrain-hugging layout, if any? Â (Follow-up question: please let us know that something like this, but even more awesomer, is coming to BGW!1!1!11!!1! I keed, of course... ) Â EDIT: I really wanted to make a joke about "needing a pull through" but couldn't think of one that would be all-ages-appropriate...

WOFfan Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Do you think it will have as much problems as the other Intamin Accelerators? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&MIntaminGCI Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Do you think it will have as much problems as the other Intamin Accelerators? Â It's not a hydraulic launch system, it's LSM so it's shouldn't be cursed with as much downtime and wont have to worry about cable snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarTrekGeek Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Will this ride use the new restraints seen on Intimidator 305? Will the gift shop be in the old Edge of Africa gift shop, and will this ride have an on-ride photo booth? If so, at what point of the ride will the picture be taken?

astro Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 In regards with the animals themselves, how will the ride affect their behavior(noise from the ride, screams,etc.) affect their health or mental well being? BTW, REALLY excited to see this thing start testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimster 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?" The park has already confirmed that it will go OVER the Skyride. They posted about it on their Facebook fan page, but I can't find the post. I was at the park yesterday and you can see how the track is angled it's definitely going to leap over the Skyride. Check out the photo I took yesterday:   Only about 400 more feet of track need to go up and everything will be in place.  "Have there been any plans to retheme Cheetah Chase, as to limit confusion between rides?"  I saw this today:  http://www.bgtnation.net/2011/02/cheetah-chase-becomes-sand-serpent.html  You beat me to it.

digidoc Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Since Busch Gardens cut off part of Rhino Rally (the water portion), substantially shortening the ride, mean that it is on the way out. I mean, even the "navigator" taking the vehicle on a "wrong turn" isn't even an element anymore... Because of this, I would assume that Rhino Rally will close soon, or will soon undergo a major redesign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triggernel Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 What do you feel your niche is in terms of Florida theme parks? With other animal parks, and other parks with extreme roller coasters, what audience do you feel you appeal to, and was Cheetah Hunt designed specifically with this in mind?

CPmillenia94 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It was posted on their facebook awhile back that it would have lap bars. Has this been confirmed, or is it going to have otsrs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Did BGT choose Intamin to be unique in a region dominated by B&Ms, or was Intamin simply the best choice for what they wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iowa Beaver Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Was there a conscience decision to keep the speed at 60 mp/h, which is believed to (roughly) be a cheetah's top speed?

coasterking2981 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Will the cheetahs themselves be a part of any breeding programs?
