Cheetah Hunt and Cheetah Run overview + interviews at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay

[stormguy09]

I agree, this ride was very disappointing!!!!! I was not impressed with this way too long and slow ride! Scorpion is way more thrilling than this ride was. But Montu will always be my favorite!

[mjollner23]

If I was a cheetah, the fastest animal in the world... I'd want to live out my days in a confined space next to a roller-coaster.

[chrisenglehart2011]

i havn't been to bush gardens since gwazi opened and it was my very first roller coaster. i am hoping in october to visit bush gardens again. another new roller coaster that is very fun is rockit at universal

[VegasBikerChick211]

Oh man the storm at the end....Beautiful. That just made the ride look 20 times more exciting LOL! But then again you're not supposed to mess with storms in Florida. I heard through the grapevine they're not very forgiving ;)

2: 08 !!! The cheetah is ssooooo. Cute !!! Let me take it home !

[maddieschiffler]

That ride is sooooooo fun:) I love it.

[George84ish]

Think of cheetah and what's the first thing that springs to mind, SPEED. So why is it that a coaster with the word cheetah in its title is totally lacking of any speed. By far the slowest coaster in the park and that includes scorpion. Rode it yesterday and was very disapponted.

[InsideTheMagic]

@George84ish Sheikra does hit a top speed higher than Cheetah Hunt (70mph vs 60mph). Cheetah Hunt ties with Montu and Kumba. But Scorpion maxes out at 50mph, 10mph slower than Cheetah Hunt.

[George84ish]

@InsideTheMagic  Cheetah hunt may, just, hit 60mph at the end of the launch sections but they are emmidiately follwed by a section that slows the trains right back down, at one point I thought we wouldnt make it round the figure 8 section it was that slow. I reckon if you looked at the average speeds across their lengths of all the coasters in the park cheetah hunt would be the slowest.

[InsideTheMagic]

@George84ish But therein lies the cheetah inspiration. Cheetahs, as I've been told, only hit top speed for short distances. They can't maintain high speeds, but they can unleash them quickly when attacking their prey. And that's just what Cheetah Hunt does. The launches propel riders quickly for a brief amount of time, followed by the slower speeds. Whether or not that creates an exciting ride for you depends on your preferences. For me, I think it's a great balance.

[23airjordanfreak]

@InsideTheMagic well said. That is exactly what i said. Cheetas aren't supposed to run for miles. They sprint for a short distance, then they slow down a little, and change direction. The theme is really perfect. One of the best, well fit themed roller coasters i've ever seen.

[23airjordanfreak]

@George84ish the theme is so cool though. Like its exactly how a cheetah goes. It sprints then slows, then sprints then slows. Then does some smooth turns. Looks really cool

[George84ish]

@23airjordanfreak, like a journey to work every morning, 0 to 60, slow for traffic, take some bends, upto 60 again to be slowed by traffic etc... Only differene is, driving to work I can maintain a speed of 60mph + for more than 1 second, each trip is different and theres more to see. Conclusion, my drive to work each morning is not only more diverse but includes more speed and risk. Dont know bout you but I ride rollercoasters for the thrill not because it looks pretty.

[23airjordanfreak]

@George84ish yeah me too, but the theme is cool. But i care more about the thrill

[maddancer1002]

@George84ish You're so ignorant! Did you really expect Cheetah Hunt to run right through that figure-eight? No, that section really gives you a beautiful view of the entire park and it's one of the most picture-worthy roller coaster sections in the world. I've been on CH several times and I adore the coaster because it is so unique. If you were expected another Sheikra, Montu, or Kumba, then you were way off.

[DASHIAMADISON1]

@George84ish u could just shut up the coaster is ALL MOST has fast has a real cheetah.think twice before u speak

[twilightbreyer11]

Wait.. where did they put the Cydale horses?? Seriously I need an answer please!

[basketballleo2000]

@twilightbreyer11 they got rid of the horses there in a diffrent state now to

[basketballleo2000]

@twilightbreyer11 hey they got rid of the horses the horses are in a diffrent state now to

[InsideTheMagic]

@twilightbreyer11 The Clydesdale horses left the park after Inbev purchased Anheuser-Busch. They no longer appear at SeaWorld either.

[tricia1407]

HAHAHA i started to think Cheeto Hunt , but this seems like an awesome ride

[SforzandoFilms]

The thunderstorm in the background at the end was a nice touch. Totally awesome. And of course you gotta love those lovely ladies ;)

[abovethefirehouse]

wow the one girl on the left end is FIIIINE =) hehe 70mph? dang.

[SGarv04]

youd think they would pain the coaster orange yellow and black?

[InsideTheMagic]

@SGarv04 The coaster cars are those colors, with the front cars looking like cheetah heads. The track represents the land/grass on which cheetahs run, hence the yellow and green.

[SGarv04]

@InsideTheMagic Oh that makes sense, thanks!

[arms22346]

WOW as soon as i leave the ride is up!!! like WTF!!!
