I know it's a ways from Orlando, but this thing is going to be a BEAST

All I can say is, NO WAY IN H*LL!

I'm not to keen on the way Acrophobia at Six Flags Over Georgia tilts a mere 15°, this is just insane.

 

[ImagineerDude]

I would probably die. I can barely do a regular drop tower let alone one with a 90* tilt. I recently rode a "lay-down" coaster at Kings Island (Firehawk) and freaked out and I didn't go straight down like this new ride! Craziness!

 

[billDozer]

great spin on a common ride a awesome way to stand out but im gunna sit this one out

 

[erwinalber4]

I'm excited for this one! I have a feeling I'll chicken out once it's open though.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

You know a ride is intense when Busch Gardens is expecting people to crap themselves...

Here's some pics of the construction already underway:

All I can say is holy crap. Yes, chicken exit please.

Pile driver has been busy the last few weeks. Depth marks on this one shows 140 feet, most of the rest have been 100 feet.

Sounds fun.
I just wish it had a better name.
Busch Gardens Tampa used to do such a splendid job coming up with interesting and indigineous names for their coasters and rides that communicated something about the folklore of the featured cultures.
Now they're aiming for a lower demographic and coming up with more descriptive but less challenging names like "Cheetah Hunt" and "Falcon's Fury."

I can't wait!

It's been awhile, but here are a couple of pics from the last few months:

Late July when the pilings reached their peak in number. All subsequently driven into the ground.


And the tower sections have arrived, soon to be installed starting later this month:

 

[nepalostparks]

Four tower sections are now up as of this morning.

 

[Crazydisneyfanluke]

Went to Christmas town last week and noticed that they are 2 more sections been put into place. Also, they are going to re-theme the area as well.
Im looking forward to what BGT has to offer!

Now standing tall at the final height of 335 feet:

Anyone know whats going on with the old dolphin/3d theater. Rode by on the skyride the other day and it looked like they had an AC or fog unit sitting in the preshow area and all sorts of construction.

New live action show featuring many of the animals from Critter Castaways which closed February 16th. Total renovation inside, and addition of animal housing on the backside of the theater.

Ooo, I did not realize they closed the show. I didn’t make it to that side of the park when I was there the other day. The former HH and CC area has needed a re-work for a while. Is that area tapped for 2015/16 coaster rumor or is/and Gwazi taking a hike?
