Griffon Front Row Seat on-ride widescreen POV Busch Gardens Williamsburg

[SingersRock456]

I went on that..and i was screaming before the ride even started....lol

[ImSoHReqular]

i love at the top it says "at this time please unbuckle your seatbelts, i repeat please unbuckle your seatbelts

[IAmLightpatriot]

Get the front row seat all the way on the left or right.

If you ride shoes less its like your flying cause nothing is under you for at least 10 feet in either direction.

[MrsCaliyah]

Coasterforce, do you think Busch Gardens Tampa is better than Williamsburg or flipped around?

[SevenSeasofRhye47]

BEST. COASTER. EVER!! I went on this 9 times when I was there last spring and would've done a 10th but we had to leave. Front row at the end is the best view because you feel like you're falling and/or flying. I love the part right before the 90 degree drop where it just stops and then you unexpectedly just drop 90 degrees. Yeah best ride ever.

[addonmaniac12]

Dude , You must love roller coasters , but can i ask... Was you ever affraid of riding rollar coasters when you was a little kid? becuase im 14 and i dont really like roller coasters ( the g-force.. ) and I guess when im 20 I'll get over my fear...

[4373fg]

one of the smoothest roller coasters ive ever ridden

[Joymenomore]

n .. that's it?

[scooterpro102]

I remember goin on the alpengeist or dmthin like tht I shit my pants it's 7 -8 loops of hell

[dtowngirl109]

I remember I rode my first roller that day...(Lochness Monster one), then I went on to ride all of them that day but this one... scarred me for life.

[Punkrock3011]

Oblivion Ownes sheikra and this

[moviecritic6]

@Punkrock3011 2 bad it's only like 30 seconds or else it would be a lot better

[900animallover]

1:07 scary

[facebookbuddy1]

i'm going here this summer!!!!! and i'm so riding this 

[gooodies4u1]

i went on it with god brother. its the fastest tallest floorless rollercoaster in the world.

[stewydoo]

Neither.....Oblivion all the fucking way !!!!!

[penpal73]

Bark is WORSE than bite...what an AWESOME ride!!! Can't wait for opening weekend in March!!!! :)

[njm1112]

this is my favorite ride there!

[ASteelersMidget]

Griffon or Sheikra?

[njm1112]

@ASteelersMidget griffon!

[penpal73]

@ASteelersMidget GRIFFON!!!!!

[Mollylou39]

3 words: BEST RIDE EVER!!!!!

[DAXMAN318]

Same thing as Sheikra

[penpal73]

@DAXMAN318 Sheikra has a smaller drop that Griffon..although they are very simular, as they intended...

[mkeejsimmons1]

I thought its scary it's fun

[Trevorpilot123]

Way better than Oblivion and SheiKra.

[anablast912]

my first time riding this was INSANE :)

[peetchamann]

i think shiekra was better :)

[71294ful]

love this ride...it looks way worse than it is

[Rainbowz131]

I always say: im going to get on that ride! I can do it! Then I get there.......

[Rammstein45]

The 2 hour wait in line was worth it!

[tinkerbell9110]

I would have a freaking heart attack!

[fattiesgonewild]

goin up that first bit must have been horrific!!!!

[TysonIsKetchy]

i'd DIE. so simple.

[nuryabeatris]

ai que nada a ver e so inglis e tudo bobo

[zeelelynn]

I rode that when I was 14 front row it was funnn

[RCT3fan9]

Oblivion=Best ride there!

[TheSupersonicmadness]

@RCT3fan9 Uhh, oblivion's at Alton Towers

[itbemarkyo]

hehe the sequel to shikra

[will101page]

Great ride but I will always prefer Oblivion with its underground misty tunnel :p

[YouGotMeJuicy]

1:03 Oh heck no 0.0 lol

[MissZindzi]

The camera angle is weird...made it look like you were hanging on the edge of the track

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@MissZindzi You are. The cars on this roller coaster are really wide and most of the seats hang off to the side of the track.

[NiksDjs]

Oblivion is more vertical where this is vertical but with a bump at the bottom. Different perspective. But this looks insane :D

[drumaboy70]

holy shit I've got to ride this, what park is it at?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@drumaboy70 How about Busch Gardens Williamsburg? ;D

[bohrokthunder]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom instead of alling it all willliamsburg ppvs lets call it the bush gardens saga

[drumrocker365]

THIS COASTER ROCKS!

[gole311]

Seems like youre floating

[SiNgGErRR]

coasterforce, does it feel different on the side then it is in the middle? ;)

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@SiNgGErRR No, it doesn't really feel different. Of course not having the track underneath you can trick your mind into thinking that it feels different.

[stealthyyllamaaa]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom Did you love this ride cuz I sure did

[JesssDaviesss]

That is one big ride:')

[starfirefan12]

reminds me of oblivion but only the first part

[batterykilla456]

i was high when i rode this never rode this again

[t1n1etemp3r]

i wanna ride this

[1JAMINben]

Love that ride



[Mrfoodlvr614]

THIS WAS SO FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrBiwinner]

the scream at 1:24 is the best part

[97destine]

omg omg omg :o:O:O

[storm12353]

0:00 meh it ok i guess 0:58 baby ride 1:00 HOLY SHIT!!

[FuJi1616]

The awkward when you already says "MOMENT" in your head before you red it...

[Boston15Man]

This was one of the greatest rides that I have ever been on.

[TheSupersonicmadness]

god it's so annoying when people say "OMG THIZ COPIED SHEIKRA!" they're the same type of ride built by the same company at parks owned by the same company.

besides Oblivion is the best dive machine anyway ;)

[bajabenca]

@TheSupersonicmadness haha Oblivion? Sure....if this was '98. ;) Personal opinion: Even though they have similar layouts, Griffin looks lame compared to Sheikra. It just looks tame.

[TheSupersonicmadness]

@bajabenca we all have our own opinions mate, I for one love Oblivion because how the tension of the ride builds up, Sheikra and Griffin don't really do that for me

[bajabenca]

@TheSupersonicmadness I completely understand.

[bucketofcheats]

Looks Just like ShreiKra

[nicole90970]

i like Sheikra better

[ledevine]

this is a ripoff of sheikra

[emanueljon]

@ledevine no Sheikra was made later

[TheTruDutchess]

@emanueljon no... griffon was made after.

[MrZombow]

@ledevine It ain't a ripoff when it is made by the same company!!! (Bolliger and Mabillard)

It's like saying Samsung Galaxy 2 is a ripoff of Samsung Galaxy!

[beyblade5555]

i love roller costers

[jjscott3]

1:03 that awkward moment when you drop your camera...

[Ariana4evr3]

It doesnt look that much different from sheikra

[0159alex]

hmmm looks like SheiKra only blue

[theswimmer1993]

I LOVE this ride! The best seat is front row in one of the wing seats. Not only do you hang directly over the drop, but it feels like you're not really on the track. It's like you're literally flying :)

[Monkeybros239]

I road on all these rides

[Addicted2Juicy]

When I went to that park and saw that coaster...took one look at it and was like NO WAY on Earth would I get on THAT!

[rawrdinosourlover]

@Addicted2Juicy aww why not?? its sooo much funn!!!! :DD

[StartledSloth]

@Addicted2Juicy just sit in the back :) you dont even get held over the edge

[rockrgrl637]

This ride is actually nowhere near as intense as it seems just watching it... unless you sit in the front row on one of the wings. That's really the only way to go. Hahah XD

[Doofuzz123]

It looks like the booth or whatever you ride in isn't connected to the rails

[mivilu]

Very cool ride, we never see in germany so good rides.

But all years i ride sheikra in my holidays and all the other coaster in Orlando/Tampa

[MrZombow]

@mivilu You guys in Germany have Krake ^^ I tried it once, it was alright, a bit short though, You also have Blue Fire, Silver Star, Colossos, Black Mamba and many more!

We in Norway only have one good coaster :(

But I agree, America rules when it comes to Roller Coasters! :D

[vitor53017]

Nao aconcelho ninguem ir, eu fui pra nunca mais =(

[theAYEgroup]

This ride had me crying on the way up , laughing on the way down O.o ..

[CelestialMare]

I would hate to have to walk the stairs I be crying XD

[trippyboi91]

i was like holding on for dear life in the front. lol

[xWutrmelonX]

going up scared me more than anythingg.

[xWutrmelonX]

i went on this and loved it(:

[TheCoasterFactory]

I think the original charm of Oblivion is nice, but not an amazing thing compared to this, however I feel a little nostalgic for SheiKra because it was my first dive machine and the one that resurrected the Dive Machine from the 'couple of hit wonder' bin that many great concepts go through, the B&M sitter for example. So I go SheiKra for the good layout teamed with the heroic comeback of the Dive Machine.

[SamYulie95]

@spaziPenguin agreed. i go to alton towers all the time, whats the use of makin one if you cant ever use the same type of design?

[darthbonsly]

Griffon is better as a ride alone, but SheiKra had a lot of ambiance that helped it feel better, both the same to me.

[rockrgrl637]

I like this coaster a lot, but once you ride in the front, there's no going back. :\

[dancermegan14]

Griffon: The best roller coaster ever! It's really not that bad if you love roller coasters. My brother and I rode it 10 times when we were there. By far, my favorite roller coaster<3

[maliwahtallhei]

Omg it looks like it's not even on the track!

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@devolition5456 oops.

[eduardo210995]

100% melhor que a fire whip PENHA -SC

[madipay1]

Griffon is my FAVORITE out of all of the rides at Busch Gardens

[NerfGuy561]

@EclareLover it makes a big splash when u look at it off ride

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@NerfGuy561 It makes big splashes when you're on the ride too...

[MrTatinnn]

Does the line move fast on this ride?

[famguy509]

Griffon is awesome! But it's only slightley better than Sheikra because of the second Immelman

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@famguy509 when I went to BGW, I thought that the Griffon had 3 inversions. Then I looked up this video, and I see it has 2 Immelmann Loops, and I'm like DAMN

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@famguy509 Griffon IS awesome. But I'm the only person in the world who like Loch Ness Monster better. I'm quite the rogue.

[x5guccigirl5x]

Why It Looks Like Yhuu Guys Are On The Side ?

[deurkl]

@x5guccigirl5x Because they are. It's a very big train.

[userwizard234]

Do you like the kind of rollercoasters that hang, stand up, or your regular everyday rollercoaster?

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@userwizard234 my favorite of all time, Millennium Force at Cedar Point, is your regular everyday coaster - except the fact that it's 310 feet. But when it comes to TYPES of coaster? I like inverted coasters (when you hand below the track).

[vanessawurz]

txóóóó!

isso q eh adrenalina total!

huhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuhuh

[twoleggedbeast]

So this is like the sheikra of Busch Gardens Europe



[EclareLover]

sheikra is better. and wuts up with that little bit of water? it's look like a kiddie pool. lmao

[XenaAmazon]

Ahhhhhhhhhh!!! Are you crazy?? Lol.

[shutyamouf2]

@hotdogshaveCATSUP Yep, love it! what impresses me is how smooth this ride is. Never a moment of roughness, really feels like you're gliding.

[shutyamouf2]

Yesterday when I was on the front row someone said "oh why can't it just drop already?"

PS: also I've read that the actual max height of Griffon is 210 feet, but at the hanging point since they have you inch over the edge a bit you're at 205 feet.

[Pizzacentral]

is this a wing coaster?

[maddancer1002]

I think Sheikra is better only because of its originality

[MutimirRX]

Almost got my nephew on that ride, he was happy till I told him its totally safe, those nets at the corners are to catch people that fly off. My sister is pissed at me. 

[1uhot426]

GRIFFIN IS NOT 220 FEET TALL ITS 205 FEET TALL!

[deondredude105]

I was there on the 4th of july night...they shone a light on us...almost seemed like they WANTED us to see what we were falling into, shot fireworks... we were in front row..

[AlanEppie]

Getting a very edge seat on this ride is so messed up!

[drewdrewdrewdrewful]

bizzaro is 221 feet tall

[DegrassiGirl3061421]

correction, this one is very good, but, not the best rollercoaster in the world, try going to Six Flags Great Adventure, and riding the King Da Ka, its about 475 feet tall, the tallest rollercoaster in the world, now that.....will make you scarred for life.

[Trixter3d]

skeikra 2nd drop is 90 degrees into a tunnel

[DeadstarDreams]

Wow, and I thought Alton Towers was good...

[IhateMakingThese69]

front row, end seat is the best seat on this ride!

[QuestShooter]

It doesn't look so bad on the camera, but I screamed GODSPEED

[DWALK916]

I just rode this on saturday in the front row it was crazy hanging up there before the drop your like wtf did i get myself into

[hannahbanana4041]

griffon is the best ride in the whole effin world ride it all the time The griffon is my life(:

[HardAssRavers]

brings back good memories hahaha

[Edipo48]

This is Sheikra but Bigger and a bit faster. Holy CRAP

[BLAHGUY126]

imagine if Oblivion had an immelmann...

[Sprunchy1]

@hotdogshaveCATSUP noooooooo its not ive been on this ride 26 times trust me its 205

[lulu12345ization]

it looks like u r about to fall of the edge! :) COOL

[jewelandloreeshow]

I went on this about 3 or 4 times but to tell you the truth, I was expecting more. It was fun but all it did was drop 2 times and go in a loop 2 times, the fro peas my favorite part, but I think it would be more fun if it had more things to it...

[Hieagandaus]

If you want to ride a B&M Wing rider before any open here in the U.S. ride on the edge of this or SheiKra,it's EPIC

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@hotdogshaveCATSUP Griffon is 205 feet tall.

[10coasterboy]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom APOLLO's chariot IS 210 FEET TALL

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@10coasterboy @devolition5456 Apollo's Chariot is 170 feet tall, but the drop is 210 feet due to the terrain.

[10coasterboy]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom No

[GardenGn0me666]

@10coasterboy really, coaster force is/are the experts here, why would you dout them.

go on roller coaster data base, it says 170 foot hill with a 210 foot drop!

[Sk8terxgirlx101]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom who the fuck cares?

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom that's right.

[ThatStrangeKid42]

@10coasterboy

Apollo's Chariot = 170 feet

Loch Ness Monster = 130 feet

Griffon = 205 feet

Alpengeist = 193 feet

HAPPY NOW PEOPLE!?

[TheCY107]

got to fucking love rollercoasters

[RollercoasterHaunt]

and they are the sam height, griffon isnt taller

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@RollercoasterHaunt SheiKra is 200 feet & Griffon is 205 feet tall, so technically... ;D

[RollercoasterHaunt]

i like sheikra better

[BabiiGurllxxx]

@RollercoasterHaunt iTS THE SAME RIDE.....

[RollercoasterHaunt]

@BabiiGurllxxx no it isnt idiot

[BabiiGurllxxx]

@RollercoasterHaunt it is dummy, oh wait nvm Griffon is Taller.... Soooooo.

[singinggal47471310]

<3 this ride soooo much!

[Marrchrange]

Haha i dont like the Griffon it is So short and it is a LONG ASS LINE

[TheCrazyCoasterKid]

@Marrchrange The best and shortest roller coasters usually have the longest lines. Kingda Ka is a good example. You usually wait 2 hours for a 17 second ride. BUT TOTALLY WORTH IT!

[SuperGleekGeek]

i went there for my b day i was tall but i didnt go on cuz my mom

[eric080532983]

im not allowed on dat ima purple

[rEdAnDbLuE0101]

I play a game where I try not to scream on rollercoasters. I won the game on that ride!

[rockrgrl637]

Ha. Funny. The climb looks a lot steeper on the POV than it seems in actuality. :\

[l3g1t1matpimp3n]

0:42 to skip the long climb to the top

[headcrusher115]

by far the best ride in the park next to alpengiest

[adamclone100]

cant wait to go 2morow i think ill go to bed early so i can just wake up and go

[Punkrock3011]

I like oblivion cos it was the first of its kind and it was incredible went to alton towers on the 22nd augest 2011 oblivion was my first ride there

[anablast912]

i screamed my lungs out on this !

[TheTutorTalkShow]

WHEN ON THIS TODAY IT  WAS AMAZINGGG!!!!

[galanoth7456]

fuckinggg adssss >:(

[BreakinLongIsland]

Ill take ur word for it tho

[BreakinLongIsland]

Im evacuating tommorow morning, i live in va beach

[BreakinLongIsland]

Yo i was on that today and when it pauses at the top, i saw hurricane irene right up the block with lightning flashing everywhere

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@BreakinLongIsland That wasn't Hurricane Irene. It will be about 100 miles east of Myrtle Beach, SC early Saturday morning & won't make landfall in Virginia until 2am Sunday morning.

[DcIxvi]

@BreakinLongIsland damn dude!
