Busch Gardens Tampa: Cheetah Hunt

Cheetah Hunt
 Cheetah Hunt is an Intamin LSM Launch Coaster. It is located in the smallest section of the park, Crown Colony Plaza. 
Cheetah Hunt towers over the entrance of the park, with an astounding Figure 8 element giving it major visual appeal! While faded, the color scheme still sticks out quite nicely.
The ride is very long, with a course of 4,429 feet and a ride time of 3:30, it is the longest duration of any coaster in the park! This action packed ride features airtime, directional changes, drops, inclines and an inversion! In the above photo, you can see the rides sole inversion, a heartland roll, which is sure to provide great thrills.
Cheetah Hunt takes it's inspiration from one of the fastest animals on the planet. With three LSM launches, propelling the train to 30, 60, and 40 mph, this ride is about speed! The ride also has some great drops and twists. As seen above is the largest drop on the ride, which is 130 feet tall into a trench!
 The trains on this ride are very cool. The lead car is shaped like a Cheetah, and the spots along the ride also represent the seriously quick animal! The restraints are the typical Intamin shoulder harness, along with the lapbar, which is the part that really makes contact with your body. To increase capacity, the ride has two loading stations, meaning that two trains can load and unload simultaneously!
This ride was designed for families, but can provide thrills for even the biggest thrill seekers, such as myself. It proves to be a fun ride, without needing extreme forces or drops! 
Thanks for reading about this great Intamin Coaster!

This is a report about the Production Tour on Revenge Of The Mummy at Universal Studios Florida. This report may contain spoilers for those who have not yet done the tour, but are planning on doing it. Disclaimer: All Backstage photos and videos were taken with permission from my tour guide. Apparently some tour guides do not allow for photos, so be sure to ask the Team Member accompanying on the tour. The Mummy Production Tour takes guests through both the overflow and regular queue, paying attention to the props and explaining everything. The overflow queue is only used during peak times, so it is not usually seen by the public. The theme of the queue is that the riders are extras for the Mummy movie, and there is a huge debate regarding if the "curse" is real or not. The first big room in the overflow queue is the "Blue Room"  The "Blue Room has many blueprints of movie props and photos from the movies on the walls.

The Incredible Hulk Coaster- Review

The Incredible Hulk Coaster is truly... Incredible . This one of a kind B&M Launch Coaster stands 110ft above the lagoon at Universal's Islands of Adventure. The ride originally opened with the park in 1999, but recently just reopened from a total rebuild. In this review, I will be going through different categories and rating the ride on a 1-10 scale.. Theming and Scenery The Hulk is themed to a science experiment led by    General Thaddeus Ross . It explains that the volunteers (riders) will be exposed to Gamma radiation, and become a Hulk. The queue has some detailed physical sets and a really  interesting CGI video. The launch tunnel is also enclosed inside of a Gamma Ray Gun of sorts, which looks really good from the outside. Also, every time a train launches, the roar of Hulk is played through a speaker outside the tunnel. The rides location over the lagoon does look amazing too! Queue/Off Ride Theming: 8/10 The ride vehicles are typical B&M Sitdown t

King's Island Photos

Back in September I was able to take a trip out to Ohio to visit Kings Island. Since I only had a few hours at the park, I focused more on my experience than taking photos.  This park was incredibly nice, and I found it to be a great mix of Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Dominion, and Carowinds! This park is home to some incredible coasters.  Banshee is an incredible inverted coaster that flawless mixes the old, snappy style of B&M coasters, with their new subdued and smooth style rides.  Mystic Timbers , the parks terrain GCI wooden coaster was relentless from start to finish, while still providing a smooth ride experience. The Racer was a fun, classic wooden coaster, who's experience was brought up a level with the side-by-side racing aspect, and was just pure fun! Adventure Express , the parks Arrow Mine Train, was actually a highlight. This ride is just plain fun in all of its quirky glory! Invertigo is the parks Vekoma Inverted Boomerang
