[@OverlordMoon]

Went on this ride a few weeks ago. That really slow barrel roll is insane and you actually fall out of your seat for it. The "comfort collar" as they call it isn't so comfortable at keeping you in the ride. It was the only ride in the whole park that legitimately scared me which is what made it so much fun.

[@stephaniexoxo3879]

I agree!!! The collar is different then every other ride, it’s not snug , and the slow upside down part is TERRIFYING

[@JeffBezosIsSanta]

Completely agree! Literally just got home from Busch Gardens. I hadn’t been there in a while, so I had forgotten about some of the newer coasters. I am always scared of Sheikra but I do it anyway… but then we went on Tigris, and we all agreed it was way more terrifying and didn’t feel secure at all. We are all average sized adults, and still thought we would fall out, I can only imagine how a smaller adult or child feels on that ride. I’d be terrified. It was fun, but I’m really not sure if I’d go on it again, maybe now that I know what to expect it wouldn’t be as bad. Clearly the ride is designed for this, as you can see everyone has the same experience. I’m sure it’s completely safe.

[@citizenofcorona8783]

A ride video of this ride doesn’t even come close to the surface of what riding this ride is like. The restraints are just the bare minimum from keeping you from falling out, and that slow inversion at the top makes you feel you’re about to.

[@spvcethvg8462]

WTH are you talking about?? The restraints are I305s and they are not that good. The inversion at the top is that makes you feel like your gonna fall out is called hangtime, and it's to induce thrill which is the whole point of a rollercoaster!

The fact that someone in New Mexico can have a similar experience to the one I'm having in Tampa has absolutely 0 bearing on my enjoyment...in fact, the fact that there are many of them likely indicates that it is a successful design.

[@vincentjenei]

LOL i like the reference

[@tsukileo897]

A man of culture I see

[@marisalane3939]

Just rode it today! The ride is amazing. I was scared to ride at first, but soon after I rode it the first time I rode it again! It doesn’t cause motion sickness, which I am fairly prone to. That loop, which seems very slow on video, isn’t bad at all either. If your shoulders don’t come up to the shoulder restraints, or the “comfort collar” as they refer to it in the queue, that twisting drop right after the slow roll may rock your shoulders around. Other than that, an awesome ride with a surprising quick line for only having one coaster on at a time!

[@jaydasmores]

kylo risa what age do you recommend?

[@marisalane3939]

Godric Griffindor About 12+, give or take. It’s short, very smooth, but it’s a monstrous coaster that looks scary. If your kid is excited to go on even with how scary the ride looks, let them go on, I think they’d have a great time :)

Is their more than 1 coaster?

Nope, just the one, but the ride goes by pretty fast so you’re never waiting too long

[@bubba_studio]

For being one of the shortest roller coasters at Busch Gardens Tampa, it is to me the most intense ! Went today and the most intense part of it to me was the speed it shoots you up at and the force on you when reaching the top gives you a feeling that you will fly out of your seat. The lap bar and lower leg pads is what it feels like to me as the only thing that is keeping you on that ride the way they are designed to work together. I didn't get sick but the rush of adrenaline may be too much for some people to tolerate.

That part at 0:14 is the absolute most insane part of any ride at Busch gardens Tampa. I have rode every ride at this park front, middle, and back. When at 0:14 when the coaster goes backward up that part, it’s is the most insane feeling, and scariest ride moment you will ever experience. Imagine in your mind going down Shiekras drop backwards. That is the feeling that 0:14 gives you. Like a massive roller coaster drop backwards. At the peak moment of 0:14 is about 150 ft in their air it’s MUCH HIGHER than this video shows.
