Cheetah Hunt

[tiredoldspook]

Busch is truly themeing this Awesome Coaster up. The maneuvers on this coaster are just mind blowing.

I cannot wait to get to BG to ride this! The themeing on this is incredible. My only question is, are they gonna leave the top of the station like that?

You must stop posting pictures! It is making me wish for time to move faster,,,,This coaster looks freaking amazing.

Busch Gardens seem to destroy Alton towers with every rollercoaster. Montu > Nemesis, Sheikra > Oblivion and now Cheetah Hunt > Rita. But of course busch is a 100x's better rides i.e. oblivion is one vertical drop and its over where as sheikra has two, some water effects amongst other things.

You're confusing fact with opinion! I personally much prefer Nemesis and Oblivion over their Busch counter-parts. Cheetah Hunt though, looks stunning, it has everything I look for in a coaster- fantastic themeing, interaction with non- riders and the terrain and what looks to be a well thought out, well planned ride which will provide a fantastic experience I'm sure. Here's to the Summer when I can ride it.

Thanks for all the updates guys.

I can see how Nemesis would be an amazing invert but Oblivion better than Sheikra? Ehh to each his own.

Breaking news: According to my sources, every rider on opening day gets a fun sized bag of Cheetos!

I heard there was also a meet and greet with Chester Cheetah.

I'm sorry to risk going off topic here, but just to back up my point slightly. To me, bigger is not always better (even though Oblivion has roughly the same drop height as Sheikra). Oblivion is all about theatrics and the drama before the drop, so when it does arrive, it has a huge impact. The way the queue is designed and reflects its theme is genius. Guests are told that they may die, in one of several tongue- in- cheek preshows. Unfortunately after 13 years it is needing some TLC, along with the rest of the area it sits in. When you're at the top of that 60 metre drop, staring down into that mist filled tunnel, all the adrenaline is built up and is released, so by the end of it, you truly feel like you've achieved something.

Of course, I'm not saying Shekira is a bad ride, in fact, I enjoyed it very much and I'm looking forward to going on it again. But for me it lacked the drama and impact of Oblivion.

Apologies for the off-topicness guys. :smiley:

Shiekra is really good but it's Sister Griffon is a Better ride in Williamsburg,,OK Back to staring at the Awesome Cheetah Who cares if they call it it yellow and spotted coaster this thing looks awesome.

Nemesis is still regarded as one of the best coasters.
Oblivion is old and was the first vertical drop coaster and rita is old too and is about a car journey not a cheetah so that probably explains the one launch.

Man, it's looking better by the day. As for the color scheme, I love it. That is one bad looking little coaster if I do say so myself!
