Hi Thrill Seekers,
Louise here! This is my first month at Orlando Attraction Tickets, I’ve had fun learning about all the different tickets we offer and chatting to customers about their holidays. I’ve been lucky enough to visit Orlando twice already and I get to go again in September 2015. Yay! The first time I visited in 2009 I was only 14. Being just 14, everything was very overwhelming and I probably couldn’t tell you much about my visit as it was all just a big blur of excitement! Then I got to go again in 2013 when I was 18 which was a totally different experience! My second trip was much more memorable. I have always loved roller coasters but I have to say the older you get the more exciting it all becomes! My favourite park has got to be Busch Gardens. I absolutely love the big rollercoasters and I love animals. Busch Gardens offers plenty of both of these.What more could I want? So for my first ever Orlando Attraction Tickets blog I thought I’d write about my top 3 rides there.
1) SheiKra
It’s hard to pick a favourite ride as I love them all but if pushed I’d have to say my favourite is SheiKra. I love the suspense when you’re left hanging at the top for any amount of time between 1 and 6 seconds before getting whooshed down that almighty 200 ft drop at a 90 degree angle at a speeds as fast as 70 mph!! Being dropped at a 90 degree angle means that you get so much more adrenaline pumped through you especially if you sit on the front row (it also makes your cheeks wobble more)! Sheikra is a must when visiting Busch Gardens!
2) Cheetah Hunt
Cheetah Hunt is also an amazing ride! It’s sooo quick! I felt like I was a Cheetah running through the Serengeti when I was on it.
At 60mph its up there with the fast coasters! It has a huge drop of 130 feet while you’re riding it which lifts you out of your seat. Lasting 3 and a half minutes, this is one of the longest coasters I have ever ridden! Considering most rides are over and done in under 2 minutes! No wonder so many people don’t mind queuing for this one! I am very much looking forward to riding Cheetah Hunt again!
3) Montu
Number 3 on my list of favourite rides at Busch Gardens is Montu. If you’re one for quick twists and turns, this ride is perfect for you! At 60mph it’s another of the quicker roller coasters (as you can tell, I love the speedy ones!) It keeps it’s speed throughout the whole ride which is pretty impressive considering the fact that it’s almost 4,000 feet long! Montu lasts approximately 3 minutes so this is another one well worth waiting for!
Now, a new ride I can’t wait to try….Falcon’s Fury! I am so excited to ride this! I have been waiting for what feels like an age for it to open and now it has, and it will be there waiting for me in 2015. I can almost hear it calling my name already!
When I first heard about Falcon’s Fury I just knew I had to ride it! I read on this blog that they were looking to open it in May 2014 and then had to change the date due to some manufacturing issues. I was gutted!
Then I heard it had opened! That’s right! As of 2nd September 2014 Falcon’s Fury was officially open to the public! Now that it’s open I am even more excited than ever! At 335 feet high this is one of the tallest rides I think I will ever go on! In fact it is THE tallest free-standing drop tower in the whole of North America! Not knowing when you’re going to drop either? Now that’s exciting! I just cannot wait to get there now to ride it so I can come back and tell you all about it! Check out this great video of Tom Daley taking the plunge!
