Cheetah Hunt

[Hatetofly]

Does anyone on here know where they stored the track for Sheikra, I have not been down to BGT in a while and don't plan on heading down until mid next month since Potter is in full swing. Reason I am asking about the storage area is because I would imagine they will use that area again and everyone doing updates should make a habit of checking it whenever they drop by.

I'm pretty sure they keep it in the employee parking area behind SheiKra.

Normally, track is not stored there. Sheikra track was stored across from AI in the overflow lot.

That's usually used for kiddie coaster track storage (Cheetah Chase, Air Grover). From what I hear, SheiKra's track was stored in the Adventure Island overflow lots. I'd probably not expect track for a while.

Well after the footers are in place track pieces/supports aren't to far behind once the footers have been poured. Time wil tell I guess, btw i really hope that Chetaka or w/e is just a working title and not the final name given

Thanks! :rep:

To bad the Sky Ride is closed now, it's a bit harder to tell what's happening.

hmm... now SheiKra's getting rusted...

Progress! Progress!! :happy:

BTW, that albino kangaroo is FREA-KY!

Do we know when the sky ride opens again?

Busch Garden's refurbishment schedule says 12/31/10. Thanks for the update, StarTrekGeek! :rep:

Hmm, a one-of-a-kind eperience. Sounds good to me.

Geez SheiKra sure is wearing down. We may have another Hulk on our hands.

Kumba's paint chipping is to be expected. The rails get the highest stress and always wear down first.

I was gonna say that is crazy and December is so far away, but unbelievably we're almosy in July already... 2011 is coming sooner than we think, and with it this project and coaster! I wonder why they haven't announced it yet... (because Potter would overshadow it maybe?) At the rate that they're working on this, early 2011 seems like a good possibility!

From Figment1986 at Florida Thrills:

Just got a text from a friend who is at the parks, They are apparently using the Bypass that goes behind the old Clydesdale barn today, wont be long till they can start work around the monorail platform.

 

[Latveria]

Can't wait until they announce exactly what we are getting, so excited !

 

[universal chris]

Cant wait till I see the track start going up.

 

[Latveria]

Of course that too =) Any idea on what color they are looking at? I suppose it would be yellow if they stick with that awful name of chetaka lol.

 

[universal chris]

How about yellow with orange stripes.

 

[mantaguy]

With black supports.

 

[Hatetofly]

Yellow and Black or Orange and Black really just sound awesome! I can't wait to see what the color combo and manufacturer turn out to be.

 

[Kraken&Manta]

I would like a gold track and black supports.
