So many memories. Seeing the looks on peoples faces when they heard I was going. Waking up at 4:00 a.m. with my family to get on a plane to Florida. Staying at the Marriott world center, going to Busch gardens and riding everything there. Going to Disney World and being reminded of childhood. Then going to a Captiva beach house for 2 days to top the trip off. Best week of my life, and I'll always have a special place in my heart for all of those amazing times and places.
The drop.. Oh my God. I literally felt everything in my body come up. It was insane. And like you couldn't stop it either.. You were just there free-falling for a few seconds and it was crazy.
i just went to busch gardens and since it was cold, no one was there. every line was no wait. u just hopped on. even cheetah hunt didnt have a line. it was AWESOME. i love riding sheikra. when ur at the top u see the whole view of tampa
I live in the Netherlands but i think this one is one of the most - or the most - beautiful, fun, thrilling and exciting ride I've ever ridden!!!! (L) Sheikra, (L) Florida!!!!
I LOVED this rollercoaster!! I was there last New Years and I think i rode it three to five times. Definitely the best one in the park. There is nothing like sitting up front, especially just before you take the plunge... :)
And if ur wondering, the front seat is awesome cause u hang of the edge right before the drop, and the back is awesome because u get the most negative G's, or the drop feeling (freefall feeling), they r both awesome in their own ways
:D I get to go to Busch Gardens this summer! Last time I was there, I didn't ride any coasters 'cause I chickened out but I'm totally gonna ride every single one of them this time! SHEIKRA HERE I COME~
God, I remeber being on that ride! I was there a few weeks ago, and they changed the time you hang there! It's still awesome, but that seven-second hang time made the suspense way better!
I went on that this year and got super duper scared on the first drop because I was the only one on the right in the FRONT row. So I was basically having a nightmare, especially being afraid of heights.
I love Tampa Bay because it is hard to brand for the big marketing companies. There are many large companies that showcase the features about our bay, but they failt to bright light to the best benefit of our Tampa Bay, and that is the people that live here. We have myriad communities living together in one area and we are definitely not your typical neighborhoods, don't you think?! - Margarita
**** Can anyone tell me what the first drop feels like? i've NEVER been on a roller coaster in my life! i'm not afraid of heights. so i would not be scared of how tall it is, just what the drop feels like :) im going on the 22nd of this month. please respond. Thanks!!! :)
i remember gettin on this ride omg was i scared shitless..but i wasnt nothin comepared to the guy next to me kept screamin curse words and mommy lol...he made me laugh the whole ride plus i screamed at the beginning lol!!! LOVE THIS RIDE!!!
Is it possible to pass out on this ride from the drop? I went on Cheetah Hunt and the drop on that made me feel as if I were going to pass out... I'm a scaredy-cat :T
man,last october i went to disney world with my family,and one of the days we drove to bush gardens and i went on this ride :). the trip was the best trip i ever had :) and im from Canada.
I have been to Busch Gardens a thousand times! I hqve rode Sheikra ten or more times. Such a scary ride. My baby brother loves Sesame Street but was only tall enough to go on the egg shell Ferris Wheel. My favorite ride is
One of my All Time Favorites! Only 4 of these in the World, 2 in the U.S., both at Busch Gardens Parks. I like Shiekra a little better. I love the dip into the water and the Splash Zone nearby! Brilliant way to slow the coaster! The coaster is TEN rows wide! Best seats are Front Row & WAY OUT on the ends. You're hanging out there with NOTHING below you but Ground! WOOOOO HOOOOOOO！！！
I love when you are just about to drop, you hear everyone on the coaster going WOO LETS DO DISS and its like your crew and you ride the coaster together like warriors
Can anyone tell me any good roller coasters here in Busch Gardens? Because im moving to Florida from the Dominican Republic and I would really like to know. Thanks!
oh my god i LOVED this ride wen i waz there a few days ago!! this haz got to be 1 ov ma favs, tht and manta. Nearly crapped myself wen we wer just hanging ther, but its soo fun!!!
@Beachluvers101 no, they're the same thing, both at a busch gardens. and this is the opposite, they ride the same track but everything is on the opposite side.
Went to Busch Gardens in april 2009 and november 2010. IN 2010 Busch Gardens was almost deserted. We went on all the great rides more than 10 times. At the end of the day we all had headaches and muscle aches. My god it was definetly worth it.
sheikra is surprising. I thought it would be easy to ride it once I saw it here! But, man, I tell you smething: it's a looootttt better riding it! So fast, so perfect! Seeing it up there, for real... totally diferent! loveeedddd it!
Cool! Me and my hubby might be going for our 3rd anniversary! :D Looks fun! I love the drops! Was it easy to hold onto your phone or camera while you recorded this? I've always wanted to do that, but was too afraid I'd probably drop mine.
Omg, the part where you're up and are turning and about to drop, there were soooo many bees flying by, I was sooo scared, I just wanted the ride to drop already!
i really wanna go on this when i go on my birthday but I'm so scared of the drop i just hate drops i need to face my fears its just so hard does anybody know what Sheikra is like is it fun or scary? post the answer on this video.
@infantrysoul93 when i went it was the first coaster that me my mom and dad went and we were in the front and in was my first time being on sheikra and my hands were shaking so damn bad but it was fun and did u go on cheetah hunt it is my favorite coaster at busch gardens
I came back from busch gardens yesterday and yes when you going up you relize it is taller then you expected and holds you 4 second at the very top before dropping lol but overall its pretty damn fun.
"This isn't so bad, its just fear controlling me." *looks down* "Shit..."
Aimee Ortiz 😂☠️
The sky is beautiful when you got to the top. : )
This looks fun~
When you're sitting in the front seat and hanging over the edge looking straight down... quite a thrill!

Kudos for keeping the camera so straight! This ride turned my stomach inside out the first time I rode it,fun stuff
The drop.. Oh my God. I literally felt everything in my body come up. It was insane. And like you couldn't stop it either.. You were just there free-falling for a few seconds and it was crazy.

Greetings from slovenia

This ride in the dark is the BEST thing on earth! Seriously, just fantastic!
This coaster is bad ass!!!! that second vertical drop is catches you by surprise lol
And if ur wondering, the front seat is awesome cause u hang of the edge right before the drop, and the back is awesome because u get the most negative G's, or the drop feeling (freefall feeling), they r both awesome in their own ways
i went there friday morning to afternoon and on the way back it started raining did it rain on grad night?
I remember waiting four hours in line on the day this opened. It rained too. Long way up, short time back, but so many memories.
I'm a floridian and I'm nine and holy crap THIS WAS THE BEST MINUETE OF MY LIFE!

I remember I couldn't see anything but the sky at the first part! Best Rollercoaster EVER!
I went on this ride twice the other day, really good and the hanging part is super scary!!! Its really good, one of the best!
Im going from The Netherlands to America and i can visit this theme park with 15 others for 14 days. How long do you need to wait for Sheikra??????
Went on this last night at howl o scream, it never gets old! Still one of the most thrilling rides ever, that drop is killer!!!!
:D I get to go to Busch Gardens this summer! Last time I was there, I didn't ride any coasters 'cause I chickened out but I'm totally gonna ride every single one of them this time! SHEIKRA HERE I COME~

I LOVE THAT ROLLER COASTER!!! IT'S SO FUN!!!!!

The ride was AMAZING!!! :O
Is it possible to pass out on this ride from the drop? I went on Cheetah Hunt and the drop on that made me feel as if I were going to pass out... I'm a scaredy-cat :T

Do universty of south florida students get a discount to busch gardens?
Griffon is at the Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. That Busch Gardens and this one both have dive machines. So yes, it is at Busch Gardens.

Do they let you you let people pass you so you can go in front the next time?
@Beachluvers101 no, they're the same thing, both at a busch gardens. and this is the opposite, they ride the same track but everything is on the opposite side.
The best rollercoaster ever
Went to Busch Gardens in april 2009 and november 2010.
IN 2010 Busch Gardens was almost deserted. We went on all the great rides more than 10 times. At the end of the day we all had headaches and muscle aches. My god it was definetly worth it.
how in the world do they do with with our th camra flying out of there hand?
I MISS BUSH GARDIANS SOOO MUCHHH great ride!!!!!!!
is this the same as the griffon in bg virginia?
I really recommend this ride... It's not as scary as it seems. I'm terrified of heights and I still love this ride.
sheikra is surprising. I thought it would be easy to ride it once I saw it here! But, man, I tell you smething: it's a looootttt better riding it! So fast, so perfect! Seeing it up there, for real... totally diferent! loveeedddd it!
i've ridden this ride and trust me. IT IS SO FREAKING EPIC!!!!
The sunset at 0.44 is nice :)
LOVE this rollercoaster, only queued like 15 minutes too? Went on about 3 times =D

Wow, that's amazing!Did you record this with a normal camera? I mean: which kind of camera dis you use? Thank you. Nice video
i really wanna go on this when i go on my birthday but I'm so scared of the drop i just hate drops i need to face my fears its just so hard does anybody know what Sheikra is like is it fun or scary? post the answer on this video.
@taylorlovezya98 Actually Sheikra was made before the Griffon. And I don't think it really matters, since both parks belong to the same company.
@infantrysoul93 when i went it was the first coaster that me my mom and dad went and we were in the front and in was my first time being on sheikra and my hands were shaking so damn bad but it was fun and did u go on cheetah hunt it is my favorite coaster at busch gardens
is it faster than it seems in the video??
is this like almost the same thing as griffon
how did you hold the camera? or did you mount it?
@jsxfilms1
Oh Was that the school group that was visiting there? Cuz I saw them like everywhere!!!
Went on this for the first time today. Holy shit. My stomach was up by my eyeballs for a good 20 minutes after.
Why was your friend carrying a quarter on a roller coaster?
I came back from busch gardens yesterday and yes when you going up you relize it is taller then you expected and holds you 4 second at the very top before dropping lol but overall its pretty damn fun.
omg i love this ride so much! its the best during howl o scream! i went last night!
I lovee this ride!!! :D it's so awesome and not really that scary. My mom was freaking out though. lmao.
I'm going 2 ride this on friday, is it scary?
Went there yesterday and rode it 4 times! 10/10 coaster
With a whole total of 3 minutes of fun
