SheiKra off-ride Busch Gardens Tampa
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лис 2012
- If the three second pause at the edge of the 200 foot (61m) drop doesn't get your heart pumping, the 138 foot (42m) vertical drop into the tunnel surely will and watching this B&M dive machine sail through its circuit is almost as exciting as riding it.
Did you know that shikra is a species of African hawk known to dive straight down for its prey?

Went to Busch gardens a couple weeks ago and got over my fear of rollercoasters, ending up riding all of the them at the park. SheiKra is probably my favorite out of all of them. It's so short, but it's VERY smooth compared to everything else. I could ride this hundreds of times without getting a headache like Montu and more specifically Kumba do.
Squalington Constantine I’m going on Monday I’m trying to get over my fear of coasters any tips? I’m also scared of heights and I don’t like the feeling when my stomach drops.
@@thetitanic1956 The anxiety when you're getting close to the front of the line, getting in the coaster, and waiting for the drops are the worst parts. I focused on taking slow, deep breaths and not thinking of the future. I highly recommend getting in the front car of any rollercoaster, that way you can see the track and where you're going. Keeping your eyes open during the drops is a must as well, closing them just intensifies that stomach drop feeling, it really sucks. One thing that I did when first starting out was to force myself to smile during the drops, the more I did, the easier it got, and the more I started enjoying the drops. Eventually I started looking forward to that stomach feeling. It's still a little scary, but that's the point of rollercoasters! When I think back at what I just went through when getting off a coaster, I realize just how ALIVE it makes you feel. It's really cool to experience.
If you're going to Busch Gardens Tampa, the Cheetah Hunt is probably the best rollercoaster for beginners, it's the one I went on that I got on to get over my fear and gave me the courage to try out the bigger coasters at the park, such as Montu and SheiKra. I hope this helps! Remember to smile!
Squalington Constantine thank you so much also should I start with the smaller then go to the bigger ones
@@thetitanic1956 I definitely recommend going from small to big. Some people might be different though. I unexpectably loved Cheetah Hunt, and the rush of having conquered my fear of rollercoasters after getting off it was enough for me to try out Montu right after. Good luck!
Squalington Constantine I’ve rode kumba, cheetah hunt, cobras curse, and that blue water slide one but after I went on this Jurassic water slide on universal I just couldn’t ride any coaster anymore. Last year when I went to Busch gardens with my family I didn’t ride one ride because I’m still scared from that water one. But I’ve been watching coaster videos I think I got over it and ima try over starting from small to big coasters. For some reason when I ride a coaster the first time I’m fine then the second I’m so scared idk why....
The first droop is the worst. I literary saw all my life passing before me. However, if I go back, I'll ride that one again... NOT proud of my picture lol.
Mine either. The first drop you feel you are falling out of the rollercoaster. However, sheikra is definitely my favorite.
love, Leila ♥️ that’s how I feel when it’s a drop
NO FRL THO ISTG MY PICTURE LOOKED LIKE I WAS SHREK
i havent been on yet but my brother foreced me to go on cheetah hunt when i was 8 a few years back and my picture looks awful it looks like i was about to cry
OMG I rode this yesterday! THIS WAS INSANITY When the first drop happened, I screamed so loudly... omg... also a guy had a nose bleed beside me LOL and another dude was in front seat throwing up on the track.... good times.. good times....
Holy shit! Really?
did the blood and vomite fly everywere
Norita B why you are a loser if you riding this norita b? what an idiot reaction. people ride it, because it gives you fucking nice g force and adrenaline!
kyle john that sounds lovely...... not lol
Norita B I see some comments on old accounts as well and I just *cringe*
It's all fun and games until you get to the very top lol
spicy j yep, because when we were going up the lift hill I was like "LET'S FREAKING GOO" and then when we were about to drop I blacked out
Alexa Gamer LOL
Went yesterday so true lmao
When I got to the top I regretted life
Gygu
Everyone is talking about the first drop, but my soul left my body on the second one. I felt completely weightless.
When I stopped at the drop I really couldn’t open my eyes +I was in the first row but it was so much fun😂
Going to Busch Gardens for Howl-o-Scream and will be riding Sheikra again.
Always love watching Shiekra's first drop from the ground, but it's even better to experience it on the ride.
I went on the sheikra for the first time in the front row
everything was in slow motion and I almost died
The front row is the best
😅
just rode it yesterday loved it. I was also able to convince my mom to ride it.
Best rollercoaster I've been on so far!!
Gonna ride this monday!So excited
9 years later.. how was it?
The first time I went on a roller coaster is this, and I screamed so loud into my friend's ear when there was a first drop, going sideways, and the second drop. I love how there's a splash zone, I stand like straight in front of it.
when I go to bush gardens and I see people riding the Sheika, I think: " how do people have the guts to go on that?". then I just stare at the ride
Pink Dino G lol I'm not even a roller coaster rider but when I went several years ago I was trying to be brace by myself and decided to ride this crazy thing smh hay first drop was the worst I don't remember the rest lol
Pink Dino G I went that was my first ever riding on a roller coaster it was scary especially when it stops then let's you drop when it was over I wanted to be on it again
K, I hope to see you in the splash area if I ever go to Busch Gardens Tampa, I'll be the one shouting funny phrases/memes or singing Moskau.
I must say one of the best roller coasters I have ever been in
You can't go wrong with B&M. It's good to see BGT has 3. A sit-down (Kumba), an invert (Montu), and a dive (SheiKra). I'd love to see them get a giga someday. Or maybe RMC Gwazi.
I loved this so much that I rode it back to back. 🤙🏿
I am pumped to go on this ride!
I stuck to cheetah hunt, scorpion, kumba, and montu, yesterday. My first real roller coasters!
This looks like a SWEET ride!!! You always do such amazing videos!!! :-)
I loved this ride. Shiekra and Cheetah Hunt is my favorite
This was the best ride, ever!!
this and the cheetah are the best at BG
HitTheStixBRODIE and montu
HitTheStixBRODIE and kumba
Disney gunior
This roller coaster is just...PERFECT
This was so much fun.. I did it multiple times...
My FAVORITE roller coaster ever!!!
Amazing ride I go all the time and I can see it from my house!!
I just rode this. You get a good view of RMC Gwazi and the Tampa skyline.
That looks so much fun!!
This ride is amazing In my opinion definitely recommend it 💙❤️💙🔥
Wow that looks so scary the first drop looks insane like your coming out of your seat.
Griffon is a tiny bit taller, but Sheikra has that cool tunnel. Personally, I feel the Griffon is about as close to being on the back of a bird you can get. I love the feel of the Griffon. You really do feel like you're flying like a bird, soaring and twisting and diving. The tunnel on Sheikra makes it more coaster-like in it's feel, so it takes away from the flying feel. Either way tho, some serious fun.
i rode this on holiday with my kids absolutely enjoyed it
Best.Coaster.Ever.
I made the mistake of going front row on this for the first time
I was so happy until we paused...
Hopefully I'll be there monday! 😃
Love this roller coaster
Haha I rode this like 12 times. Since we lived next to bush gardens we would come a lot. It was so funn. Now I live in California so IDK if there's one here in Southern California.
Only 12 times?
I LOVE THIS RIDE!
Very well done video!
Riding in exactly one week. Wish me luck :P
***** Unbelievable :D
Kaneki Ken it was awesome! was there 2 years ago.
+Kaneki Ken riding this friday field trip at school wish me luck
Kalib B I shall ;D
+Kaneki Ken it wasn't that scary once you get used to it. My first time on this, I was scare to death.
this is my favorite ride at bush gardens
Going on this soon can't wait!
I've been on it now yes awesome
i was in this ride this afternoon, i must say ive never been so freaked out of a roller coaster
Amazing this rollercoaster !
I went on this thing and it was fun but very thrilling! I'd love to go again
Finally Cedar Point gets a dive coaster! It was the only thing missing from their lineup!
All cedar point needs now is an RMC and they're good.
+Rock&Roll_Pat And a B&M flying coaster
It's not Cedar Point, it's Busch Gardens Tampa.
Rock&Roll_Pat Wish granted. Steel Vengeance = RMC Mean Streak
I love that ride. 2x front row seat, woohoo!
I rode this in June 2013. awesome !!
I'm going here tomorrow with a lot of family and I'm gonna ride this cause everybody wants me to and I'm so excited
I actually live in Tampa. I've been on it a trillion times!
I have Ben here before and this ride is awesome, Minnesota.
this ride is brill!
Im riding this saturday,for me the scariest part will probably going upright before you go down
Indescritível!!!! Show de bola!!!! Achei a melhor do parque!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
I love this ride
This ride is amazinnnngggg!
-SheiKra- pshh, this wild thing needs to be renamed... It should be called *Sharkisha* instead!
rct3sweed *SHREIKra*
SHREKra
No it should be called SHAKIRA
A shikra is actually an African bird. It got the name SheiKra because it dives like the bird, at high speeds at very steep drops.
I rode this ride when it first came out ....I mean it will have you out of your seat very thrilling ....
Rode this for the first time in March that first omg
whatching cuz im going to bush gardens tampa tomorrow yay
It's like griffon in Busch gArdens in Williamsburg, VA
Mark Aner it was beautiful !!!
Foi bommm d.++++ da conta esses passeios no parque, fui agora com primos e primas, em dezembro de 2017, antes do Natal, adoramos, fui nessa montanha tbém, fiquei com medo, mas tava bom d.++++
Omg I love this and I'm now double digits!!lol I stood on my tipee toes inside my high heel boots😂😂
It looks like it's so fun
I went on the sheikra yesterday and I'm 11. if any kids like me want to ride and if your tall enough it's not that bad . The drop is the only bad part but after you will really enjoy.
guys . first time riders : DO NOT LOOK AT UR PICTURE .
I made that mistake lol 👌
Whoop whoop i luv Busch gardens
Ikr
I went on every rifde at busch front row- it was epic
Gonna ride this on thanksgiving can't wait!Any tips for this?
Ahh this Friday I'm going to Bush Gardens for the first time
rode the coaster this summer with my family we all freaked out when we saw it but we got on it and we was screaming our butts off SHEIKRA!!!!!
that's so much fun!
I can't remember any back or middle row airtime on the first drop. I rode the old floored train in 2007
I am now leaving from Busch gardens and it was my 2nd year going there for Christmas
It has other rides like the train and skyrides it also has little rides like ephants and bumper cars.
Omg!! Lol thanks for replying again :)
They do that because the tracks are moving and when the train goes over the 2 pieces they slide together making that noise :)
THIS WAS EPIC WHEN I WENT
which is scarier, back row, middle row, or front? some people say that back row is better but a lot say that it’s the scariest so idk
1:51 WOW! JUST WOW!
I've never screamed so loud in my life than I did at that first drop. Amazing!
We're going to Busch Gardens for the first time next month!! I would love to ride this, but it looks scary. Shall I go on Sheikra?
It's not scary! It might look sinister at first sight but is actually one of the most peaceful rides here! It's extremely smooth, and feels like your soaring. There's nothing to be afraid of, because the only part where you really need to hold on ( and have a blast ) to the railings is the first drop , which is amazingly smooth and there is nothing to worry about, it's so fun! So I definitely recommend this! Don't worry , it's just a piece of metal 😄
It's not that smooth, but it isn't scary either. The first fall is the best but after this, pretty normal
+Belinda Burford Absolutely! You will never find a better rollercoaster than this one.
molls mansell What do you mean?? There are plenty of rollercoasters that are Better than this one. If this one was the best, then all of the rest would be boring
There's a rollercoaster being built in Orlando,Skyscraper, that is going to be probably one of the best in the world
I can see this from my house!
Did you guys go to Busch Gardens last weekend? I went that weekend and ended up sick because of how cold it was. lol
This ride was the best I rode that ,and it was the best I promise may look svary but its the best
Looks like fun wish I could go on it :(
That was awesome
My fav ride
listen to the coaster at 2:51, what is that noise?? brilliant ride though.
My restraints only clicked twice (three on other rides) so I was so scared going up the steep hill but after the drop the g force pushed it the extra inch. There was only a 2 inch gap but on this ride its scary to think about.
Sounds like you could do to lose some weight.
ive been on shiekra many times I live in tampa
I feel like that ride is the same as griffon at Busch gardens Williamsburg
Can you make a rollercoaster like this(or something less) here, at Europa, Bulgaria? :)
I was 17 when I rode this beast fucking loved the pause at the peak the total weightless g force
I wanna go on dis so badly!
Busch hardens is crazy
DANG IT U GO THE DAY BEFORE I WAS GOING TO :(
After Underestimating The Power Level Of The Ride Sheikra, I Passed Out!!
Love this ridw
I mean the hold and drop bit!
