At Busch Gardens in Orlando....North America's only Diving Coaster..."SheiKra" is going floorless and getting it's feet bars removed by June. This should make the 200ft. masterpiece a little bit more exciting. What do you think? C'mon, lemme know.

Yes Sheikra at BGA is going floorless, but BGE will open Griffon, which is floorless, on May 25th and Sheikra shuts down on May 28th for the new operation. So don't sweat it, just take the short drive North to try out Griffon.

Sure it will be a different feel to the ride. Obviously the powers that be at BG felt the train modification was worth the price of downtime & costs associated with going floorless.

It would be a good coaster for KI with or without a floor. Now that they are into buying used stuff they probably could get a deal on a new coaster with used trains.

SheiKra is converting the trains, not getting new ones. Not to crush your hopes or anything...

Griffon will actually have riders from the media on the 16th and 17th of May as well as a VIP Party on Friday the 18th for those who win spots.

The press release said the coasters existing seats and shoulder harnesses will be fitted into new

chassis.
