Join us on Expedition Busch Gardens Tampa as we look at the history of the first Dive Coaster in the United States. SheiKra was the tallest, fastest and most inversions on a dive roller coaster until its sister park took the lead with Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Today many Dive Coasters exist but is the first still the best?
Thank you for watching Expedition Theme Park. We will see you next time.

Was binging through the channel I was surprised to see this ride- this coaster actually made me a coaster fan! I was a kid absolutely terrified of heights when my oldest sibling basically bullied me into riding this, and I was scared to death the whole way up. Once the drop hit, however, I was hooked for life. I still have crippling acrophobia tho, I just learned to close my eyes on the lift hills LMAO

Sheikra is the best dive coaster. It's the whole package. Landscaping, a tunnel, an inversion, trees, near misses, the smell of ribs, no floor, views of Tampa bay, loose restraints, the best colors, a splashdown, two helixes, and you already know the best part.

Born and raised an hour south of tampa. Ridden this ride more times than I can count. My favorite ever experience riding it though was at Howl-O-Scream back in 2011. That year, instead of specific scarezones they had random roving hordes of zombies. We were hanging at the top before the Sheikra drop (at like 1 AM) and as we drop, all of a sudden, a shit ton of zombies run out of their backstage area so it looks like we are rushing down to meet them. I sincerely doubt it was synched on purpose, but it was amazing

SheiKra was my first dive coaster, and I loved it! It's neck-and-neck with Valravn for me, but Yukon Striker is now my favorite dive coaster. I'm still able to get just as good airtime with the vest restraints, plus those vests eliminate any possibility of headbanging. SheiKra didn't give me any headbanging, but Griffon did.
@gavinhatfield2354
@gavinhatfield2354 5 лет назад
Been subbed for a long time and each video keeps me asking for more. An interesting takeaway from this: Griffon is floorless because the rows are 10 seats across. SheiKra is only 8. To compensate, B&M decided the best way to allow for the heavier trains would be to remove the floor on Griffon. Source: I work at BGW, specifically in the tours department.

I visited BGT for the first time in January 2005. The Stanley Falls Flume broke down on us just before the first drop, and we had to be evaced from the ride. To get back to the park, we had to go through Sheikra's construction site, and that was one of the coolest things I got to experience in my early coaster-riding years. We returned to the park later that year and got our ride on Sheikra. Back when it was the only dive coaster in the US, it truly felt like nothing else out there.

They posted an edited version with "first triple" launched coaster in Florida. They also messed up on the SheiKra info.

I've never been on a dive coaster before but Sheikra looks really fun

It is a really fantastic coaster, even though I don't like the 'hold' at the top. Lol! The view from the top of the lift is spectacular!

Sheikra is my favorite of the Dive Coasters as well. Cedar Point is my home park and I am not a fan of Valravn. The vest restraints ruin the whole experience of any coaster!

If that were true (it isn't) it wouldn't mean much for whether it were better. Kumba and Montu are also way superior rides, and I even like the Sky Rocket II better. But I also just don't like dive machines. Every one I've ridden is just a forceless coster with a gimmick and lackluster inversions, imo.

Just rode this, so good. Back row edge seat preferred.

My mom lives near Tampa and I went to Busch Gardens for the first time this holiday season. As a long-time Disney/Universal fan -- there are some TERRIFIC rides at Busch Gardens, though they're not in the same league in terms of general theming -- and their queue management is laughably lax compared to Disney/Uni!!! Got to the end of a line and a crew member waved me through -- I stopped and asked which row I needed to go on, he says, "Whichever you want." At Disney/Uni, it's like a military operation; Busch Gardens feels more like a big playground.

I love this ride, the first time I went to the park in 2015 I rode it 4 times and when I went back a couple of weeks ago I rode it two times, would have gone more times if it wasn't for the weather
