SheiKra dives into Busch Gardens
Tampa Bay. North America's first dive
coaster, SheiKra is 200 feet up, 90 degrees
straight down, and like nothing else in
the world.
The name SheiKra evokes the
power and speed of an African hawk as it
twists and plunges - giving riders a 70
mph, adrenaline-pumping experience like
no other. At 200 feet, SheiKra now takes
the crown as Florida's tallest roller coaster.
This thrill machine is also the tallest
dive coaster in the world and the first
of its kind to incorporate an Immelmann
loop (a rolling maneuver), a second, 138-foot
dive into an underground tunnel and a water-feature
finale. SheiKra offers three minutes of
over-the-edge excitement on more than half
a mile of steel track.
SheiKra will
serve as the centerpiece of Busch Gardens'
newly themed Stanleyville area, which also
includes the new 500-seat, indoor/outdoor
Zambia Smokehouse. the restaurant is situated
on the coaster's perimeter, allowing guests
to be a part of the action while dining. |
