sspaz1000 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Great pictures and report. This whole expansion looks absolutely amazing. I need to plan to get down there sometime.
OldJJman Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Great pics Adam! Thanks for sharing! Â Â JJ
Big Mike Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Hey Adam, Â Just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you do here on TPR! Â I think this report was awesome and I am consistantly enjoying all the news articles that you always post on here! Â You are always reliable for a few interesting articles a week, and I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate your efforts! Â You are a major valuable asset to TPR, keep up the superb work! Â Â Peace, Big Mike
Trevannosaurus Rex Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 That was an excellent trip report. I had very little interest in the ride, till I read through. I love the idea of the Cheetah lure, it sounds ace!
Skycoastin Steve Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Fantastic report! Once again, Busch has seemingly knocked one out of the park with this project. Only three short months away!
cfc Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Too bad they didn't let keep that cool Cheetah Hunt hard hat--you could've worn it to your next fraternity mixer. Â This new ride and the area surrounding it just look better and better each day--great job on the report (looking forward to the videos).
Ejectorbater Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Fantastic report adam:) You did a great job! Im liking what i'm seeing and wish we could fast forward to opening day, but then again, its darn fun to see this project coming together!
dragonskeep Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I am glad to hear the launches are a little faster than originally thought. Launching to 38 out of the station is sounding a lot better than 30, a lot better...and that airtime parabola should be great taken at 50 MPH. Â Cheetah Hunt is officially one of Florida's best coasters?
larrygator Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Adam - thanks for taking the time to head out to Tampa and put this together.
DenDen Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 My personal favorite for 2011! Thanks for the report, I will definately be taking a road trip there. (Are ya coming Karl?!?!?)
Lenaapple1974 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Amazing stuff! Thanks Adam. Everything is definitely shaping up! The excitement is building. Before we know it, you will be reporting on the final results!
thrillrider Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 This ride looks amazing. Â Already have plans to check it out this july.
LoopLover Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 This ride looks great. Now build one in Williamsburg in time for my probable visit!
alpengeist04 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Adam, thanks for the great behind the scenes report of Cheetaka. I mean Cheetah Hunt.
cubsonfire2 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 im going opening day.. Â i live like 95min from there anyone want to car pool..? Â last time i rode montu they detrimmed it on the batwing.. which made the ride less painfull
rider-x Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Hey Adam, I have to say your report was awesome but the best part for me.......GO GATORS!!! Â Â Will "Urban Meyer is one of my best friends" Doty (true)
Sue Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Any idea what's going on with Montu? Looks to be a lengthy closure with benches across and no employee in sight. A friend who was there over the weekend said it was closed so I'm curious if it's been closed all this time? Â According to pictures, it looks like they are doing work on its trenches. Â On topic, this ride look awesome even more now. Â Thanks, but considering that the picture of Montu being closed is in *this* thread, I'd say it's very much *on* topic.
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Awesome TR Adam. You and your camera make a great team! Â Can I just say, the way you were sexing up that hot Intamin track was almost pornographic. I thought that your report was devolving from PG-13 into full blown penatrating X! I'm sure there are a few pictures that you're keeping for yourself that involve lubricant, midgets and mayonaise. Kudos my friend! I hope it was a new, scary, exciting, and fully realeasing experience for you. Â Guy "Awww C'mon! I was talkin' about her cat!" Koepp
dandaman Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I'm sure there are a few pictures that you're keeping for yourself that involve lubricant, midgets and mayonaise. Â Don't we all?
Guy T. Koepp Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 I'm sure there are a few pictures that you're keeping for yourself that involve lubricant, midgets and mayonaise. Â Don't we all? Â If I had a dime for every picture that involved one of those three items. I could afford to take my entire family on every trip Robb & Elissa has done and will do in the future. Â Guy "That's a good thing." Koepp
A113 Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 So.. no mention about forces? It sucks being a nerd
TXThrillster Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Great Pics ... I have yet to set foot in Florida. Busch Gardens is combined with two of my loves ... animals and roller coasters. I need to come check it out !! A guaranteed good time!
derek_lentz Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 I love the concept of having the actual cheetah race the trains. That sounds really cool if it would work on a regular basis.
jedimaster1227 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Posted February 21, 2011 You've waited, and now it's finally here! Check out the first post of this thread for complete video of construction tour, as well as an abbreviated version for those that are just looking for the facts! Â Enjoy!
Hhappy Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Thanks for the update. Looking forward to the moment that i'll be able to get a ride on this one...
