I see a lot of people saying this ride is identical to Shiekra at the Busch Gardens in Tampa. It's not. Griffon seats 10 across, Shiekra seats 8. Griffon has 2 immelmanns Shiekra has 1. The ride type is the exact same, but the rides themselves are different.
@legomation24 yea it is we went to viginia and we went to bush gardens they had this ride, alpengest. appolos charriot, corkscrew hill. theyre was a lot and this ride was tehyre. if its not there then how did i ride it?
i went to Busch Gardens back in July, and i rode this ride seriously 10 times!! it is the best roller coaster ever in my opinion!! my favorite part was them suspending you before going down the first hill, and you are just looking, 205 feet, 90 degrees straight down. and then, BAM!! they let go. it is such an awesome feeling!! :))
yes it is the same just like Shiekra. Shiekra was built first. But the Griffon is taller by like 10 feet. the griffon was first of it's kind to be floorless and then Shiekra became floorless. The griffon has one more inversion than Shierka. and the Griffon can hold 30 people unlike Shiekra where it holds 24.
im going next week and its going to be my first time im a coast dare devil. I've ridden all of the roller coasters but i was actually too scared to ride it the first time. Owning up to my fears next week
Cooll but sheikras better because there's a splash zone and u go through a tunnel and. You go through one part of the ride where it smells like barbq lol.
OMG! I like just got back from Busch Gardens on a end of school 8th grade feild trip and the Griffin was deffantly the best! I rode it 4 times, (all times in the front row) and it was amazing!
i was at a little carnival and i waz tellin my cuzin how it waz my first time on a roller coaster. when i got on the lady freaked out nd shook the little thing 2 control the coaster. everyone was screaming and i was freaking out. when i got off she looked at me nd said did u like ur first roller coaster ride
i went to busch gardens yesterday. I think this was my biggest highlight. Well, i went on apollos chariot 3 times and i went on the griffon 3 times and each time i rode those rides it was absolutely amazing. And its funny how later in the day you see lots of people wearing suits and ties, or people that just came back from work, and are riding these rides, like the guy at 2:41
when i went to busch gardens last year, the ride i said i wasn't going to ride was this one. i just stayed at the bottom and looked at all those peopl coming down screaming. it was hilarious. i chickened out as soon as they told me to try it. but the ride looked really good
First of all, this song is AMAZING! Second, I'm SOOO pumped about going to Busch Gardens in like 2 weeks. (: When I see all these video's like theirs more and more butterflies in my tummy. Lol (:
im 13 and i rode this ride 50 times literally and i have a 2 year season pass we go to busch gardens every week on the regular season GO GRIFFON GO BUSCH GARDENS!!!
Griffon is so much fun. It's the best one there. Of the rides there, in my opinion, here is there epikness starting with the best: 1 Griffon, 2 Loch Ness Monster, 3 Alpengeist, 4 Log Flume, 5 Apollo's Chariot.
@techtutorials37 Yeah you can. and busch gardens does....itll be pitch black out there with nothing but those giant soptlights flashing around...it really is an amazing experience.....like words cant even describe...its breathe taking. Everyone should really try it.
I went to one in six flags that was horribly horrible it wass completly like ^ a mountain and it went directly ! down! without stopping and there was a ( bump in middle way!!! straight down!!!!! straight!!!!!!!
30 seats ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
