I really can't say I believe this. It's only a calculation of height, which is extremely hard to mess up. I would think the designed the coaster's hill in accordance to the Sky Ride's towers and not the cable.

Take it as you will, but Busch Gardens just responded on Twitter saying that the opening date is still on track.

I'm not too worried.

But even if it's absolutely as possibly bad as it can be and there are clearance issues, having an airtime hill/near miss right below the skyride would be just as awesome.

From @Screamscape:
*Good news Cheetah Hunt fans... official word from BGT is that shortening select skyride towers has been the plan all along.

Pardon me.
But.
YES YAY WOO.
I was worried all of today. Not because of anything school related, but because of this.
Yep.

Somehow I doubt it. First they change the name at the last minute and now this. Anyway I do think the best option is in fact to lower the skyride, it won't be that hard. The ride will definetely open on time. Manta had two weeks of soft opening before the opening and I think we'll see that again.

Some good news today from Screamscape:

(3/3/11) After yesterday’s big fuss over a possible miscalculation on Cheetah Hunt, I’m happy to report that I was able to get in touch with the park for a statement on the issue, which they report to be false. False as in there was no miscalculation… they have known all along that the they were going to lower the Skyride towers in that area to allow for Cheetah Hunt to jump over it. Here is the statement from the park below…
“…part of what makes Cheetah Hunt such an amazing addition is its use of an interaction with existing park elements. To make that happen, of course it has been necessary to make major changes to several park landmarks like Rhino Rally, the Clydesdale Hamlet, the Crown Colony and the Monorail Station.
Some of the more subtle changes include raising the floor in the Monorail Station, cutting back the waterfall outcropping in Rhino Rally canyon and moving some of the Serengeti Express’ train tracks. Some of the more major changes – many of which are immediately noticeable to guests in the area – that are taking place include building new guest bridges and pathways between Nairobi and Edge of Africa, building a seating terrace in front of the Crown Colony, replacing the Clydesdale Hamlet’s wooden stalls with secure “bedrooms” for the cheetahs, and, indeed, lowering certain Skyride towers near the area where the track “jumps” the cable.”

I don't really think that was "last minute". It was a few months ago, and the ride is still months away. Heck, even now wouldn't be last minute.

^Exactly what I was thinking, haha. I'd be updating but, alas, I don't live in Tampa.
