marlfox_21 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 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. m.f.21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 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. http://www.rcdb.com/document231.htm 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.

Captain Picard Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefall Pkd Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 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.
