Cheetah Hunt

If they couldn't nudge it one way or the other, then something definitely "broke" with the wheels. Could have been as simple as multiple wheels blowing at once (it does happen, Wicked Twister at Cedar Point is/was notorious for having as many as 3 wheels blow at once or very close together), or an issue with an actual wheel assembly.

Safety systems for the ride performed as designed and all guests are able to safely disembark from the ride. All ride attractions are inspected daily by trained technicians to ensure they are operating properly. The safety of guests and team members is Busch Gardens’ highest priority.

Read that as well yesterday. So what went wrong? If they tried to nudge it but it would not work, then I assume it had to be something with the wheels?

The park will probably never come out and say what was wrong.

That is one very well behaved cheetah.

Watching that cat go back and forth is one of the highlights of my day.

Always a little surprised seeing keepers in there with them. I know they're technically not big cats but I had thought that they were as dangerous.

Going over the water is definitely the highlight of the ride, so I'm glad it's back. It's definitely fun, but man oh man, those restraints are PAIN.

I give it two months before it’s off again.

The water was off (as predicted above), but it's back again (again):
