  • If the three second pause at the edge of the 200 foot (61m) drop doesn't get your heart pumping, the 138 foot (42m) vertical drop into the tunnel surely will and watching this B&M dive machine sail through its circuit is almost as exciting as riding it.
    Did you know that shikra is a species of African hawk known to dive straight down for its prey?

    Went to Busch gardens a couple weeks ago and got over my fear of rollercoasters, ending up riding all of the them at the park. SheiKra is probably my favorite out of all of them. It's so short, but it's VERY smooth compared to everything else. I could ride this hundreds of times without getting a headache like Montu and more specifically Kumba do.

      Squalington Constantine I’m going on Monday I’m trying to get over my fear of coasters any tips? I’m also scared of heights and I don’t like the feeling when my stomach drops.

      @@thetitanic1956 The anxiety when you're getting close to the front of the line, getting in the coaster, and waiting for the drops are the worst parts. I focused on taking slow, deep breaths and not thinking of the future. I highly recommend getting in the front car of any rollercoaster, that way you can see the track and where you're going. Keeping your eyes open during the drops is a must as well, closing them just intensifies that stomach drop feeling, it really sucks. One thing that I did when first starting out was to force myself to smile during the drops, the more I did, the easier it got, and the more I started enjoying the drops. Eventually I started looking forward to that stomach feeling. It's still a little scary, but that's the point of rollercoasters! When I think back at what I just went through when getting off a coaster, I realize just how ALIVE it makes you feel. It's really cool to experience.
      If you're going to Busch Gardens Tampa, the Cheetah Hunt is probably the best rollercoaster for beginners, it's the one I went on that I got on to get over my fear and gave me the courage to try out the bigger coasters at the park, such as Montu and SheiKra. I hope this helps! Remember to smile!

      @@thetitanic1956 I definitely recommend going from small to big. Some people might be different though. I unexpectably loved Cheetah Hunt, and the rush of having conquered my fear of rollercoasters after getting off it was enough for me to try out Montu right after. Good luck!

      Squalington Constantine I’ve rode kumba, cheetah hunt, cobras curse, and that blue water slide one but after I went on this Jurassic water slide on universal I just couldn’t ride any coaster anymore. Last year when I went to Busch gardens with my family I didn’t ride one ride because I’m still scared from that water one. But I’ve been watching coaster videos I think I got over it and ima try over starting from small to big coasters. For some reason when I ride a coaster the first time I’m fine then the second I’m so scared idk why....

    Griffon is a tiny bit taller, but Sheikra has that cool tunnel. Personally, I feel the Griffon is about as close to being on the back of a bird you can get. I love the feel of the Griffon. You really do feel like you're flying like a bird, soaring and twisting and diving. The tunnel on Sheikra makes it more coaster-like in it's feel, so it takes away from the flying feel. Either way tho, some serious fun.

      It's not scary! It might look sinister at first sight but is actually one of the most peaceful rides here! It's extremely smooth, and feels like your soaring. There's nothing to be afraid of, because the only part where you really need to hold on ( and have a blast ) to the railings is the first drop , which is amazingly smooth and there is nothing to worry about, it's so fun! So I definitely recommend this! Don't worry , it's just a piece of metal 😄

    How come B&M coasters that don't have a loud roar, like Sheikra or Goliath (in Georgia) make that clicking sound *CLACKKK* after every drop? like around 1:20
    & This video is awesome btw, amazing footage :3

    but you can always ask politely and they will let you wait for 1st row!

    How does the station work? like how do you get a end seat are there just long glorified gates or just first come first serve?
