Build It Bigger - Behind the Scenes of Sheikra

[transformertron1]

sheikra is not the tallest dive coaster, griffon is, and griffon is also faster and longer, and better

[ryanneb2010]

@transformertron1 the only difference is 5 ft taller that nobody will ever notice the difference, and one more inversion. both are the same speed.

[redsd2121]

@transformertron1 this was most likely filmed before the opening of griffon

[jhtrico1850]

I want to watch this on Youtube.

[nepty548]

At 1:48 we can really see how the steel flexes.

[MrRollercoasterfreak]

yea

[lugoctd]

@nepty548 i noticed that too... that's scary

[ahargrett1211]

The first drop is 200 feet and the second is a 140 foot drop both are 90 degrees but did you know that the immelman loop is as high as koumba and montu.

[Blooberburger4]

i havent been on it yet but i will i ve been on kumba and montu but not shei kra im ten and kinda short so i might not be able 2

[ryanneb2010]

@Blooberburger4 he height for sheikra is the same as kumba and montu

[MrRollercoasterfreak]

195 foot drop not 140

[HurlerVision]

the second drop is 140 ft.

[MrRollercoasterfreak]

oh well i thought it was first cuz they showed the pic of it

[cmontesi23]

you're the fag.

[solja2424]

actually he really is. i hate his voice

[cmontesi23]

haha freedom of speech and hatred are two different things.

If only people with actual intelligence were able to use computers, the internet would be so much better

[thrillrideseeker]

Cleaning those trains when they are in there is a pain in the ass not that they are floorless because you have to build the freaking floor before you can do anything...

~Matthew

[tejojo]

This was before there was no floor. I never ridden it with the floor.

[Goliath131]

There used to be a floor, they took it away. so you'll never ride with the floor, ever!

[wingchun1234]

shekria is not the tallest roller coaster

i don't know what theam park it's but the name of the roller coaster is kingda ka and it has a 417 foot drop and it reaches speeds of upto 128 mph

[meme5053]

he said the tallest DIVE coaster not coaster dive coaster

[darrylcthemaster]

sheikra is the tallest dive coaster griffon is the tallest floorless dive coaster

[kevincostertycoon3]

they both are floor less... and they both are almost the same, one is at Bush Gardons in tampa fl. and one is in erope

[GamingRoom]

Actually one is in Fl. and one is in Virginia, The one in Virginia is Europe themed.

[festivetreat]

I'm dying to get on this ride....It's the only one I havent been on yet in tampa (and orlando)

[VIVITER]

Rode it two days ago!!! Wonderfull experience!!! Awesome

[Donniesthename]

that ride is so awesome i rode it in june, it was floorless, the 4 sec. hang in the front is the BEST( i was scared out of my mind) but, i rode it 2 more times haha my favorite roller coaster ive ever rode

[xliver4]

griffon is the same thing as sheikra, just they wanted lots of attention so thhey built it an amazing 5 FEET TALLER. so now they could say they have the tallest.

[xliver4]

even though its still in busch gardens europe, made by the same people....

[Ryan120420]

Yes, it is 5 feet taller, has 10 seats per row instead of 8, two inversions, and airtime hills.

Exactly like Sheikra.

Oh, Griffon is owned and operated by the same people who own and operate Sheikra. They did not copy, they just used the same type of ride system. And you cant do much with the dive machine system, due to how wide the trains are.

[pedro550]

I went on tht one about a week ago, now its floorless- tht 4 second hang is so scary.

[bermuge]

Danny Forster? Awesome Host, your screaming was priceless

[flboy1982]

10 points for anyone who can name the other wheels...

He said "Upstops" what are the other two types.

[SoABassist]

ride and guide

[CStrongBusch]

I should have said all 3....ROAD, GUIDE, and UPSTOP

[Mamba205]

the side wheels are called guide wheels.

[tvnewsguy42]

I can tell you tons of other things about the coaster besides the wheels.

[flboy1982]

I have never seen the show... I was just saying, griffon may not have been built when they taped the SheiKra part.

[ricky8541]

this show is new and in this episode they showed when they were making griffon.

[miklogwapo]

i think its the kingda ka that is the tallest roller coaster... its 450 feet!!!

[flboy1982]

he said "tallest DIVE coaster."

and Griffon must have not been built when they filmed this episode if they called SheiKra the tallest.

SHEIKRA ROCKS!!!!!!!

[tvnewsguy42]

Griffon is in this show. They are documented the construction of Griffon for Build It Bigger.

[Cmed1970]

this was also before they took out the floors

[ricky8541]

he said tallest dive coaster is kingda a dive coaster i dont think so.

[Lycan2026]

"If possible" stay on the track? ROFL!

[FuryRanger]

Hah. GP getting the facts wrong. Gotta love it. It still seems like it will be good.

[tvnewsguy42]

That is not the world's tallest dive coaster. Griffon is at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It's 205 ft tall.

[bradleycpttd]

This was aired before Griffon was built. Sheikra WAS the tallest dive coaster.

[ricky8541]

ohh wow just 5 feet taller what a diference.

[amazingsinger101]

It's a 200 ft. drop.

[JimboJones101]

Is this going to be shown in the UK? Would really like to see all of it!
