Triple Hurricane at Cypress Gardens Adventure Park

This is my tribute video for the Triple Hurricane roller coaster at Cypress Gardens Adventure Park. It ran here from 2004 to Nov 17, 2008. It got it's name from the three hurricanes which passed over Winter Haven during the 2004 hurricane season. They were Charlie, Francine, and Jeanne. This coaster was also the only structure that was left undammaged that season. It also is on the "ACE Coaster Classic" list which was the only coaster in the state of Florida to have that distinction. This was the first coaster that was built by the Martin & Vleminckx Group. the park ended up closing in Nov 2008 and was sold to Merlin Entertainment. They then made the announcement that this ride would stay and that most of the park would be transformed into the worlds largest LegoLand park.

Don't worry, This coaster will be up and running again, after CGAP is transformed into Legoland. The coaster will most likely be renamed, and it may even have Dino theming added to it. Unfortunately, the Starliner, has been sold, as it is too large of a ride for Leroland.

@Briben57 That's great to hear that the Starliner has been sold. Who bought it?

[ataritimes]

@woodencoasterfan The new Miracle Strip park bought it. ;-)

[woodencoasterfan]

@ataritimes Yeah, I heard about that. Glad to see it's going back home again.

This little coaster really packs a punch for such a small coaster. Great little sister coaster to the Starliner.

Yeah, I've also heard that about Kent as well. There were alot of kiddie rides there. Sometimes there were two of the same kind and they could have gotten rid of the three steel coasters. Those you can find just about everywhere. I think they should atleast keep the two woodies and alteast three or four of the most popular flat rides and even reduce the number of shops and food out lets as there were quite a few of those as well.

well Kent Busher was cool he wasnt smart at running a theme park in Centeral Florida because he tried to compete with Disney and the Bush Theme parks n Universial but when ROb Harper bought it he was a crocked man alot of the rides had the bare minimum Maintence done and I was a Cook there and most the resturants was beyond dirty and they would have everyone clean them to near perfection when they knew the Health inspector was coming

The Starliner an Triple H weren't bad. They were the reason I bought a Gold Pass in the fisrt place. I live in Orlando and I'd go to Busch Gardens in the morning and I'd stay there till mid afternoon riding the coasters there and then I'd swing by CGAP to ride the Starliner and Triple H a few times then head home after the Cypress Gardens closed usually around 6-7pm. I won't be renewing my pass if they don't keep the coasters there and I'm not the only one unfortunately and I blame the owners.
