It’s an awesome ride. Be ready though, it’s the most extreme coaster at Busch Gardens. Very fast and the majority of the ride is spent upside down. - Justin Lisenby

This was the first roller coaster I ever rode! It's still a thrill, however small. It isn't as smooth as the newer steel coasters, but worth riding! - shannon

Our 1 year old loved it - from the animals to the Elmo water park. We all had a great time. Just wish the 'safari' and 'walkabout way' allowed little ones. - Carrie Trieglaff
