I just want to point out that SheiKra is the largest Dive Machine. In Fact, it is 80ft longer than Griffon.

I doubt it would be a Rhino Rally type attraction with a river portion. (Raging River Safari) I used to work at Rhino Rally, and while it was a fun ride.... It was down more than it was running. Case in point..... A Cheetah now roams the former river of Rhino Rally. In one year, there were 7 chain replacements.... There were only 5 chains on the ride.... In 7 years, Montu had 1 chain replacement.

The teeth in that jaw bone look more like shark teeth than reptilian teeth. Shark tooth = http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/3f/Tiger_shark_teeth.jpg Crocodile teeth = http://www.izintaba.com/files/crocodile_teeth.jpg Most dinosaur teeth resemble those of a crocodile or alligator, thus bringing me to believe by the shape of the teeth pictured are more like those of a shark.

The red and yellow seems like a perfect spot for a Wild Mouse type coaster.

A train has been put on the track. http://www.floridathrills.net/f195/busch-gardens-tampa-project-2011-cheetah-hunt-6661/index88.html Scroll to the bottom to see the Cheetah decals.

Wet N Wild in Orlando has one. It's called The Bomb Bay, and is 76 ft tall... http://www.wetnwildo...om/attr_01.html Torpedo Rush is the tallest DUELING trap door speed slide, even though there is a trap door speed slide that is 16ft taller. EDIT: There is no count down on the Bomb Bay. At least not when I went about 10 years ago. You get in, they close the door, and there are 2 windows. A small one in front of you, and one to your right. You are at the mercy of the ride op who pushes the button. Video....

As for that picture, you have to remember that there was a major new roller coaster opening as well. Personally, I think Platinum should get an hour ERT.

I am going in July!

GOING!

Kumba at BGT, too! I've heard it was sinking.

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man at IOA.

Not only does Clermont Steel take care of US B&M customers, they have shipped tracks to other countries as well. For example, http://rcdb.com/3930.htm was manufactured in Ohio.

I am going to BGT, US, IOA, SWO in July. I went to US and BGT in 2010, have not been to IOA in a few years. It has be at least 10 years since I have been to SWO.

New update! Boy they are moving along with this baby. Even on the weekends! http://www.rollercoasterpro.com/updates/bgt1.30.11/

^ and now Demon Drop. I could re-ride Demon Drop, Hydra, and Talon all day!

I actually want to see the Little Mermaid area! I am also intrigued about the new coaster.

As a former BGT employee, I can say that they do a lot of overnight testing when they receive new coaster trains. Kumba and Montu both while I worked there each received a new train and they were tested overnight. If I remember correctly, new coaster trains must be test ran a minimum of 24 hours in Florida before transporting guests. Rhino Rally's river portion also was the subject of overnight testing sometimes. Fun Fact: Kumba and Montu both have 4 trains. However, they only run 3 at a time. This is so they can operate the ride at full capacity while performing required repairs or maintenance on other trains.

I am still lobbying for a Dive Machine!

There is a pic of what Avatar is talking about at the link in my post above his ^^

The tallest track section has been placed. A photo can be seen here... http://www.floridathrills.net/f195/busch-gardens-tampa-project-2011-cheetah-hunt-6661/index61.html No further photo updates as of that posting.

A section of curved track for the climb up to the tower was put in place. http://www.rollercoasterpro.com/updates/bgt12.9.10/

BUMP! Track is in. Click the link in my previous post go to page 54 to see the recent pictures.

DIVE MACHINE!

The Busch parks have a thing called "EZPay" where you pay like 10 bucks a month until the thing was paid off.
