    When I sat in the front row for the first time I looked down, I believe my quote was:
    "SWEET BUTTERY JESUS"
    After the ride, I was told that everyone below heard and was going to make a petition for that to be the ride's newest catchphrase.

    I remember when I was there once, it was raining. Almost everyone left because everything was closed. For some reason though, they kept this open. I rode it 14 times in a row with almost no one else on it. Sure, it's not the BEST coaster on earth, but any coaster I get to ride 14 times in a row has a special place in my heart.

    Best ride ever !!!! It’s so scary just hanging there waiting for that drop but it felt incredible !!!! So smooth and awesome layout . My only complaint is that it’s too short. Also the way Busch Gardens has this ride set up so that you can see the first drop as your walking towards it is brilliant . You can stand right next to the first drop watch as it just hangs there for like 20 seconds and people are screaming lol . So fucking epic it gives me chills .

    Griffon and Alpengeist have got to be one of the most awesome and scenic pairs of B&M neighbors (with Apollo right across the way). The Busch parks have such an awesome collection of B&Ms and it makes me sad they don't build them anymore, none of their newer coasters quite compare.

      The three at Busch gardens in Tampa, Shiekra, Montu and Cheetah hunt are the best three in any one park. Kumba, and scorpion are in the same park and are good too. The best combo might be at SeaWorld, with Manta and Mako...two new ones that are both crazy....comparing them to Sheikra (a griffon clone), they might just beat it

    Oh shit I remember going to Busch Gardens and trying to ride some underrail roller coaster and a fat guy breaking it before I could get on (no... Seriously, that was what happened) and then trying to ride the Lochness Monster but it immediately started storming so it shut down.
    Seeing this ride brings back memories, I was never able to ride it but my fifth grade teacher did (she was also going to ride with my on those other two) and makes me wish I could go back then. Next time I go I'm definitely riding this! Even though I'm still super small aha...

    Sheikra or Griffon? I prefer Sheikra, even without the second loop the views are better, and the ride just feels more graceful. Also, Sheikra interacts with terrain more

I love the drop on apollos chariot and I've been on other coasters with big drops such as Skyrush and bizarro (SFNE). Soooo do you think I will like the drop on this? How different does it feel from other coaster drops? (Like the ones I listed)
    I've also been on a few drop towers but I don't LOVE them. I just want to like riding this
