Rhino Rally with the original water section at Busch Gardens Africa

[MrJamers3]

Our tour guide was more funny. When we was about to go down the water full she said everybody raise your right hands and say goodbye to row 4 it was lol

looks well good

i went on this but i dont know if they had the water section or not

[MrMorganOBrien]

Major props to you for getting such a great video of this now extinct ride : ( I got to ride it a few years ago and thought it was really, really cool. I guess though, if they just had so many problems with it, it makes total sense to get rid of it. Oh well, that's progress, and I'm sure Cheetah is going to be awesome.

[broadwaybabycrw2]

the water wasnt working when we went:( i was really REALLY bummed

[woodencoasterfan]

@broadwaybabycrw2 Well, the water section has now been removed and is going to be reused for the new roller coaster from Intamin called Cheeta Hunt. Were you able to get a ride on the water section before it was permanently closed.

[broadwaybabycrw2]

@woodencoasterfan really?? thats so cool, i cant wait fdor cheetah hunt to come in spring(: no i never got to ride it with the water:( oh well.

[bluethunder25]

For just a split second, I didn't think this ride was real.

[woodencoasterfan]

@LeeClaxton Sorry about the picture quality, it was shot with my old camera which was a Sony Cybershot 7.0 mega pixel. You might want to try watching it in 480p on your computer. I now have a much better Cannon FS100 camcorder which I wanted to use to this ride again, but they permanently shut down the water part about a week before my visit to BGA.

[amandawonderboy]

this ride never broke down when i went, sorry so many had a bad experience.

[woodencoasterfan]

@amandawonderboy Well the water part broke down a few times when I rode it. Ironically, it broke down the last time I rode it before they permanently closed the water portion. Th problem was that I was in th water part when we rounded th corner 2 approach th exit point only 2 find that another truck was already stuck there so everything came 2 a quick halt. It turns out the clamp wouldn't release the truck stalled the truck on the pontoon and the driver kept cranking it which killed the battery.

the kid behind the cameraman is mu cuzent sevie

[brass5001]

i took a field trip there and they took out the water portion. but i got a super funny video of my friend annoying the driver the whole ride.

[greengoblin200]

i was really peed off coz when i went the river bit broke down so we only had a 5 min trip around the elephants... :L

[woodencoasterfan]

@greengoblin200 That happens quite often as it's the only ride of it's kind. Rumor has it that the water portion of the ride will give way to a new launched roller coaster, possibly from Premier Rides. They also might be adding to the land portion to compensate for the loss of the water part.

ITS GERG!!!!!!!

[IcePheonix42]

The water bit wasnt working when i went on it either... Oh well, we had absolutely no wait for it, and it was interesting =D

[sand552]

Sheikra was the best probally at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Its so hot so when your not riding just go stand were it splashes through the water it was awesome.

[offspringrlegendjd]

when i went there the water buit wasnt working :(

[MLeyden91]

I can't believe I missed this ride!

I rode pretty much every ride in the park and somehow forgot about this one!

Darn it, I'm gonna have to go back there some time.

[TristanAidan]

I can't believe that there are still people saying that Vekoma doesn't make good rides. See this!

[woodencoasterfan]

Most people don't know that Vekoma, Intamin, Arrow Dynamics (before Arrow was bought by S&S), and S&S Power design and built many other amusement park rides other than roller coasters. There are two other examples in this park. The Congo River Rapids was from Intamin and the Stanley Falls Flume was from Arrow Dynamics.

[BradentonBootBear]

Don't feel bad everytime we went it was broke down or we had crying little brats on the ride and they would go to the right of the path and end it. So thank you for letting me see what I am missing!!!

[woodencoasterfan]

They've had some problems with the water portion of the ride. Matter of fact, they had to delay the opening of the ride due to a problem they discovered with the water part during the testing phase.

[mainelycoasters]

nice job! i do like the ride its intresting.

[woodencoasterfan]

Thanks for the comment. It's a fun ride, I ride it every once in a while if the lines not long. I tends to get 1-2 hours long during the summer months. I had to ride it twice to get the best view for the camera. Turns out that the best view is in the front row on the right side (behind the driver).

[SoltauCruiser]

cool

[lirr56890]

[BeterThenYou]

When i Went on This It Broke Down Before We Went dont on the bridge...And then we went on again because they gave us a pass for any roller coasster or ride soo we did it again and it broke down in the same spot :(
