This looks like a very fun ride. I love when you show the backside view of the ride, too. One day, hopefully, I'll get to this park. Thank you for sharing!!

Between Cobras Curse and this, that’s a really strong duo of coasters aimed at families and younger ones. Not too crazy, fun for the whole family. Really smart choice by Busch Gardens. Thanks for showing the journey with us the past several months!

Great coverage as always, Dan! It's kind of funny watching the pov, being B&M track, a few of the banked turns give the impression that they want to send the train into a corkscrew but can't since it's a family coaster.
@JayAlfordElementJMusic5 ай бұрын
They definitely could’ve if they wanted to. There’s a B&M family wing coaster at Legoland Germany called Maximus and it has two inversions.

When I saw the plans for this coaster, I immediately thought this should’ve gone to SeaWorld. Def would’ve had more room to work with and more trains. I look forward to riding. Looks like a solid coaster!
@0REDSOX75 ай бұрын
The one train ops is going to remind of of Kiddie Hawk at Carowinds. Not a B&M but a suspended coaster like this and it takes FOREVER to get through the queue.

BGT really does have a good platform to build up a kids courage. I imagine starting them on Air Grover, Scorpion, Cobras Curse, Phoenix Rising, Montu, Kumba, Cheetah Hunt, Sheikrah, Tigris, and then finally Iron Gwazi. I could really see a could powering through a day like that. Or building up courage for a next visit. Excellent addition.

Looks like a nice little ride. I have only ever ridden 2 inverted coasters, which I'm pretty sure were basically the same ride. I have been on the former Flying School and the Kiddy Hawk at Carowinds. both rides turned my head into a pinball bouncing back and forth the whole time.

Yeah 20 people per train, cycle is around 1:20, maybe best case load/unload 1:00, so around 26 cycles/hour. Gives only 520 people per hour, sigh.

@floridamaddogg5 ай бұрын
There is no mid course brake run and the braking mechanism leads into the station, so no way for a second train to be used. It's very similar to vekoma family suspended coaster where only one train can ever be used.
@mrbell12155 ай бұрын
Are the turns smoother than Penguin Trek? That ride has a noticeable rattle to it.
@floridamaddogg5 ай бұрын
It looks better than expected. I wouldn't go as far to say its better than Penguin trek because the theming and experience of Penguin Trek is far superior to Phoenix rising, but PR does look to be more intense with Gs and snappy transitions. But i don't judge family coasters based on intensity because thats what they aren't for. PR might end up being a little more intense for 6 and 7 yr olds, kind of like Ice breaker ended up being. But I'm excited to give this a ride sometime soon.

The bird noise is annoying. The music is a bit boring. Sort of a majestic eco-theme orchestration. It doesn’t seem worth it to just go for this new ride. It’s like the new SeaWorld coaster. Funny how these family coasters occur all at same time.

I’m so confused by this ride… so… B&M have taken one of their most successful coaster models, halved the amount of seats per row and are only running one train?? So… this is just a really bad B&M invert? It makes no sense. Surely as a family coaster it could still run 2 trains and 4 riders per row?
