Cheetah Hunt

[tiredoldspook]

When I was at Busch on Friday, lots of work and the makers are out. I was told by a friend that a coaster is coming and it will be a big one. Busch has to do something after the dull Jungala and the family theme sesame safari for the adults...

This article kind of confirms the new coaster

Nice read, never knew they were raising the train tracks to be ADA compliant. But a thrill ride is next in line is all the conformation I need. You know aside from the diagrams showing a new rollercoaster being built and everything adding up as the plans indicated.

They're moving so fast! It's great I hope they get done by late this year and have softs, then officially open early next year. The sooner I get to ride that coaster the better I can't wait! I'm such a coaster junkie and I miss going to BG!

Thanks for the updates everyone! This will be my new "home" thread after the WWoHP opens and that thread dies down a bit

They are indeed moving fast. Looking forward to more information in late summer.

I'm glad to see the butterfly topiaries are back together again. They looked so lonely last time I was at the park a few weeks ago.

There is going to be announcement later in the year, I don't think they want to ruin HOS.

Huge update not only from project 2011, but also from the park in general...including some HOS stuff. But they seem to have A LOT going on. Latest update from Behind The Thrills

I wonder what will become of the Edge of Africa gift shop. This is just a thought... maybe they could turn the EOA gift shop into the gift shop of the new coaster. It makes sense since it's right next to the old Monorail building (which is rumored to house the station).

 

[BGTKing]

I'd guess that it will become a gift shop/on-ride photo place.

Thanks for the updates guys!

Judging by the width of that bridge overpass I would say an Intamin wing-rider is definitely still a high possibility. And again thank you for the updates, if the weather stays clear like this and at this rate they will be done by new years. (sarcasm)

Well, they actually might be! They're moving at an astounding pace! I hope they're done by New Years LOL!

I don't think that the coaster passes under that bridge.

The trench doesn't really look wide enough for a wing rider.

^ You are correct the bridge directly to the east(not built yet) of the one pictured will have the coaster pass below it. I guess this bridge will go over an animal habitat.
