My cousin moved in to his place in St Pete yesterday and so a few of us went to Busch Gardens. I went on Sheikra for the first time. It was pretty fun. It was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be. It feels real short because a lot of the ride is going up on the track and there are 2 big drops and a loop and some turns. I highly recommend it and give it a :thumbsup:.

Yes, but you're thinking of the wrong Busch Gardens. The one in Williamsburg has the Loch Ness Monster coaster, not the one in Tampa Bay.
 
Yeah, you're going to need to go to Great Adventure in Jackson, NJ. Kingda Ka: 125mph in 2.5 seconds, highest roller coaster, and fastest roller coaster, on earth.
 
Kingda Ka is basically Top Thrill Dragster plus 20', an 8mph difference and the addition of a camelback hill after the drop, instead of a long line of brakes.

For footage of Sheikra including an on-ride video, visit Theme Park Review.
 
The best feature of Busch Gardens in Tampa is the Hospitality House... HANDS DOWN

Nothing is better than getting all the free beer you want while at a theme park. (The limit of 2 beers a person is hardly enforced.)

X is the sh!t. Easily one of the best. Love the vertical drop in the beginning. Watching it while you're in line makes you go "holy sh!t"

Rode it this past Saturday. Was pretty disappointed. I was hoping the first drop would be longer. Still easily the best ride that I've ever been on though.

Anyways, I was at Disneyland and I thought its a really kiddy place so no rides would be scary. Plus I went on all the rides in 6th grade.

So I casually got on Space Mountain and it turned out to be scarier than I expected. I would've preferred to be strapped in cuz I was thrown violently against the sides of the car... Definitely not scary overall, but it just had me surprised because I always thought of the Disneyland rollercoasters to be only mild if not totally not daunting....
 
I fell 10,000 feet at 120 mph this weekend... and parachuted 4000 ft. Everyone should try skydiving at least once.
