Cheetah Hunt is the newest roller coaster in Busch Gardens. At a length of 4,400 feet, it is the park’s longest thrill ride attraction.
This is a four car ride each car holding four people. There are three acceleration stages the fastest to 60 mph. The maximum height is just over 100 feet but the largest drop is 130 feet into a trench. The best part of the ride in my opinion is the ride along the ground through a twisty rocky gorge with several near misses.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
"Cheetah Hunt is an Intamin launched steel roller coaster. The ride's station is located in the former monorail station which was decommissioned in the 1990s. Guests board one of five, 16 passenger trains. The ride begins with a 30-mile-per-hour (48 km/h) launch out of the station and around a wide left turn followed by a gradual dip before approaching the second launch. This launch accelerates riders to their top speed of 60 miles per hour (97 km/h) before climbing an 102-foot (31 m) hill. A figure 8 element is located at the top of this hill where riders weave through a series of helixes before dropping 130 feet (40 m) into a trench. Riders then proceed over a directional changing airtime hill before completing the ride's only inversion, a Heartline roll. Upon exiting the barrel-roll and its subsequent brake run (the only one on the ride), the ride remains low to the ground and goes through a series of short banked turns through a rock fixture simulating several "near misses". This leads the ride into its third and final launch which accelerates riders to a speed of 40 miles per hour (64 km/h) to navigate its way back to the station. During the journey back there are airtime and directional changing hills, before entering the final brake run." Text Source: (
