It’s been years since we’ve seen water under this Intamin triple LSM launch coaster, so we jumped at the chance to film what it was like when it opened in 2011, well almost, since the waterfall still isn’t working. Reaching a top speed of 60 mph (96.5 km/h), with a 102-foot (31m) hill that has a 130 foot (39.5m) drop into a trench, riders cross above the Sky Ride attraction before completing the ride’s only inversion, a heartline roll.
Check out the off-ride video we posted to see more of what this thrilling coaster looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a2PhYfU9RI

This is such a good ride, very smooth. I can see the theming of a cheetah running and dodging. I especially like the 2nd launch with the jump up into the tree, nice bit of airtime.
That looks on the very edge of what I would ever want to ride.
Very cool combination of elements.
This is in my top ten that I still have to ride
0:33 what happened to the flags? :/
Super fun coaster. A big surprise for our visit – we didn't really research the park.
This is such a strange layout. Boring totally flat straight parts, a weird slow helix after a tophat, crazy fast twisties. If it wasn't for the random inversion it could be a family coaster.
After all that, you didn’t find a cheetah
The launches sound so weird. I literally heard them go boidgechhh
I really am not a fan of the smoothed go-pro footage. It makes transitions look weak imo.
just gonna ignore that random support that isn’t connected to the track at 1:31
Wait, the water is back on!!!!!
Came to Brazil, we have such great parks in here. You can film the POV in Hopi Hari or Beto Carrero World rides and coasters. In Beto Carrero World we have Star Mountain, one of the oldest Vekoma's Corkscrew with Bayernkurve still operating in the world, and the Big Tower, one of Intamin tallest Drop Towers in the world, with 100 meters of height. And in Hopi Hari we have the Montezum, the largest wooden coaster in Latin America, Vurang, a unique layout of Intamin Twist & Turn Coasters, and Katapul, the former Alton Towers Thunderloop and Kings Dominion King Cobra.
No doubt Cheetah Hunt ….Busch gardens…..they nailed it out of the park on this one. Ridden multiple times….can't wait till my next ride
Best roller coaster footage anywhere, you simply can't beat Coaster Force when it comes to quality, technology and innovation. Well done!
Those launches sound so cool
Nice!
Istg this ride is way more intense then it appears in the video.
I went on it and my arms went numb from holding onto the handles so hard and I remember thinking “get me tf off” as soon as we reached the end 😭😭😭
This is cutting edge of technology. It beats all vekoma
Definitely my favorite coaster at BGT! Can’t wait to ride again 😁
acc my fav ride i love cheetah hunt sm😭❤️❤️
Its sad BG didn’t go this far with theming on pantheon.
My favorite coaster
I just rode every ride today this one and sheikra was my favorite!
i went earlier this year, my hands went numb and my heart was racing lol it was fun tho
I went on this ride on front seat too but 1 year ago and yesterday
I went here today and this was the first ride I went on. I saw this video of it in advance and thought I’d be able to handle it but I couldn’t 😂. I was so scared and almost passed out
1:02
Nobody:
Peppy Hare: Do a barrel roll!
Lol
Whoever goes to busch gardens, they should go and treat them
Busch Gardens monorail looking different from what I remember
Do you get the stomach feeling on the drop?
