| Cheetah Hunt
The newest and wildest ride
in the Busch Gardens theme park is the Cheetah Hunt.
A unique and pulse pounding coaster that will have
you griping your seat the whole time. If the name
doesn’t give it away you can expect to soar through
the air at a breathtaking speed of sixty miles per
hour. This coaster features the first of its kind
in design with a mind bending coaster track. Because
of its distinctive square track design you can barely
determine the direction it will take you as you
power through the high speed inversions.
Most roller coasters have
the traditional slow rise to the top of a steep
drop, where you slowly glide over the precipice
into a steep plunge. But the Cheetah Hunt at Busch
Gardens has a feature you can’t find anywhere else.
Don’t expect the slow rise, because you are thrust
forward by a special magnetic design and flung to
the top of the tower in seconds. From there you
take a dive down the track and fly through sharp
turns, under waterfalls and through the jungle in
seconds. No one knows how to cover terrain faster
than the Cheetah Hunt coaster, only at Busch Gardens!

SheiKra at Busch Gardens
After a 200 foot climb, this
cunning coaster takes you just over the edge of
a true 90-degree drop. And stops. For 4 seconds,
you find yourself looking down -- straight down
-- at the ground below as you're held suspended
above it.
then, like the sub-Saharan
bird of prey for which it's named, you plunge straight
toward the ground, racing at speeds of more than
70 miles per hour. An Immelmann loop and a second
vertical drive into an underground tunnel end with
a surprise twist for those who look on -- because
with SheiKra, Even they cannot escape.
