Cheetah Hunt

[disneyfan168]

"Cheetah Run" is the new animal encounter! http://bgtnation.blogspot.com/2010/10/busch-gardens-tampas-new-coastercheetah.html

 

[Fun]

Is anyone else watching the video and there is no sound?

I had some issues like 10 minutes ago, but the video and sound are smooth now.

Edit: The onride seems to be without sound

Yea the long video works, the virtual ride doesn't though.

But to me, Cheetaka is a much cooler name than Cheetah Hunt, you think they changed it because it leaked so much? That makes no sense.

 

[Brian G.]

Of course it makes sense.

 

[Vyrus]

Well yea it makes sense as an attraction name, but with every other coaster name in BGT being, well, weird, Cheetah Hunt is too basic

 

[Brian G.]

I was stating that it made sense for them to change it due to the leaks. The sense of the name is a different story. They already have another called Cheetah Chase, unless they plan on changing the name on that one.

If Cheetah Chase gets renamed to Cheetaka I will cry. That had to be a late change, whoever came up with the name Cheetah Hunt is likely going to be on a Job Hunt soon...

Idk... Its gonna sound weird.. going around.. ohh lets ride Cheetah Hunt? It doesn't live up to its name IMO

 

[grizzlybarely]

I'm just going to call it CheeTaka anyway

One of the names will have to change. Day guests will confuse Cheetah Chase and Cheetah Hunt, guarantee it.

 

[Vyrus]

I agree, I'm still calling it Cheetaka

 

[mantaguy]

Wow, Cheetah Hunt??? That's really really stupid. Sometimes names grow on you like Cheetaka (yeah I refuse to put the capital T also) did for me, but not this, ever. Everything else is great though.

I said the the same think about RockIt. I was like screw that stupid name I'm going to call it HTR (Hollywood Triple R). In reality everyone will end up saying let's go ride "Cheetah" or lets go ride "The Cheetah Coaster".

On a different note I'm impressed and quite honestly, pleased that they went with Intamin AG on this. I knew in my heart they had but now that it's been confirmed it's a good move. Especially with their recent success on Maverick, Storm Runner, Fahrenheit, etc. Even their problem coasters are still great coasters (Kingda Ka, Top Thrill). So kudos to BGT for picking someone reliable and innovative and for you yourself being innovative and making a bad ass element.

 

[Vyrus]

I wish Hollywood Triple R would have been an Intamin, then maybe we wouldn't have these problems

I keep accidently saying Cheetah Hut.. I feel stupid.. Butt Yeaa! Thats just me....

At least thats a good name for a burger joint....or is that Char Hut?

First off, I'm just glad it's finally been announced. Yes, the name is ridiculous but the ride will be killer either way by the looks of it.

 

[UNIrd]

I'm printing my own map and taking it. It's Cheetaka.

 

[Vyrus]

And changing the name because it leaked out on a few message board, but the majority of the general public have NO idea about it is ridiculous IMHO.

Cheetaka fits the theme of the whole park, Cheetah Hunt sounds like something you'll ride at a local fair.
