Great scenic views of Busch Gardens . It would be a great first time roller coaster for someone looking to graduate to more thrilling attractions .

Rebekah Smid

One of the best coasters I've ever been on. Seriously. Between the 3 launches and duck-and-weave maneuvers, its by far the most unique. Love it. Ps - front row is DEFINITELY worth the wait. ;)

Nikki S

Short wait on weekdays. The launches make it all better. try to get in the 1st car cuz it launches strait off rather than the second that has to wait. It's an amazing one to ride.

Bethanne Babbs

Fast and lots of fun! It rolls only once, so I think this would be a good option for someone who is nervous about inversions (or coasters in general) to try out.

Amee Foster

We started our relationship on opening day! We have the same birthday! Imitates the run of a Cheetah. 0-60 in a couple seconds, straight into the sky and the flight of a cheetah speed.

Undercover Tourist

The front row is always fun, but the back row is better. It’s a wilder ride and the suspense from not knowing when it’s going to launch is incredible.

Nathalia Dutra

A light coaster comparing to the rest of the park , don't miss it!

Bob Hahn

The best ride at Busch Gardens . Hit it very first thing when you arrive (at park opening). Otherwise wait times are long

Gabby Carter

Awesome ride my favourite next to the Montu we had to wait 30 min but it was so worth it

Rodrigo Suzuki

Amazing ride. They always inflate the waiting time! It was showing 60 and we rode in 32.

Kyle Hankins

One of my favorite coasters anywhere! Worth the cost of admission.

Felipe Zavan

Launched coasters are always fun. Great turns and inversions, keep your head straight.

Anita Price

So you don't waste a lot of quarters buy an all day locker uo front. Ride Cheetah, Montu , and Sheikra (front row only)

Justin Lisenby

Funnest coaster in the park and one of the funnest I’ve ever ridden.

Cameron

Awesome ride instead of slow and worst part of the (going up)you fast as a drop.so it is a must!(2 seats per row)

This MoFo Goes Fast!!!!

Scott Rienbeck

Take your pops! I rode with my 68 year old dad (who hasn't been on a coaster in years) on Father's Day 2011. Smooth ride. Get stoked you're about to go from zero to cheetah.

Lisa M.

Not the scariest ride in the park but its super fun! Be sure to check out the cheetah exhibit . Such beautiful animals

Riselda

Awesome ride. Got talked into first row and it's definitely the way to go.

Linzi Berman

dont go on the front row when its raining..i learned my lesson (stinging from the rain) but amazing ride other than that ;)

Sean Garcia

This ride is fun but the line right now is 75 minutes and it is NOT worth that. Get here early and ride it first thing, then move on.

Jason Lehberger

Best roller coaster I've ridden in Florida, so far.
