SheiKra ...the most awesome one of a kind 70 mph roller coaster in the world

[L0oniX]

Yes, it stops right at the top and the first row gets to look down before the drop. I rode it twice this Friday. Of course the wife chickened out. I highly recommend this ride at Bush Gardens Tampa.

6. And to think there are even freakier roller coasters out there. I would have been on that with

ya back when I was a kid, a) I am out of shape and b) I lost my fearlessness once I had kids. The last crazy rides I went on I either was praying "Please don't let anything go wrong, leaving my kids as orphans", or I was freaking because the idiot ride attendant put a kid on who was too small for the ride and it was all I could do to hold her in her seat as we went upside down. I could just barely lean forward enough to push down on her shoulders. Poor thing was crying the whole time and we couldn't get the attendant to stop the ride. Told him when it was over what happened and he just looked at me like I was nuts and blew me off.

Here's a pic of the ride that the little girl barely stayed seated on.

7. Nice ride, but not truly one of a kind

It has a bigger brother at Busch Gardens Europe (Williamsburg, VA)



There are rumors that a few more of the B&M Vertical Drop coasters are coming to the US over the next few years.

8. I love, Love, LOVE roller coasters

My husband won't even get on the cute little Giant Dipper at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. x( So it's been a while since I rode one - especially a good one like that.

I think Roller Coaster Reviewer would be the best job in the world. :bounce:
