It's completely enbiggable, all you have to do is click on it. Another look at it here, this time with a sort of "timeline" of all the teasers and clues. But this is the site that argued about how the trash cans in wwohp and doorknobs broke the "feel and flow" of the area. :)

If this coaster is as amazing as it seems, I will start going to Busch Gardens more often. They have some nice coasters now but havent reached the quality of Seaworld and Universals' coasters. But this will be great!!

Nice find BGTGuide and thanks for posting it, hatetofly! :rep:

That's extremely odd that advertising is beginning in Puerto Rico instead of Florida. It seems like the cheetah theme is all but confirmed at this point.

Nice find. The description of the guy posting this, said something about marketing research. They do that a lot, creating several different design proposals and then asking an outsiders panels their opinion. This is usually done wáy in advance of final creation.

But what animals will we have a chance to get a look at? The answers really right in front of you. For months it seems as if BGT has been leaking clues all around the area, and with the teaser sign it pretty much continues that tradition. First clue, a topiary in the shape of a cheetah in front of the now closed Clydesdale Hamlet. Second clue, Creative Director Scott Swenson says on his personal Facebook page to the effect that he was at a zoo in another city and learned so much about cheetahs from that zoos cheetah habitat. Third clue, trademarks were filed using the term "Cheetaka" which has an "African" sound to it. Busch Gardens Tampa fansite BGT Guide even found a supposed layout of the coaster (click here for that layout) which describes three launches, which is actually the fourth clue. Cheetahs are known for their great speed, which is allegedly the basis of this coaster. Fifth clue, the gift shop in the Nairobi area cleared out the section in front of the store showing off "Katonga" merchandise and video clips and replaced them with...you guessed it, cheetah merchandise and film clips. The final clue is in the teaser. If you look past the yellow streaks you will see brown spots. In certain eyes and angles this looks as if there was a cheetah running past very fast, as you can see a faint blur of a head and tail.

From Ratmead at Florida Thrills Network.
Looky what I found

buschgardens2011.com

Some broken links here and there, hold on to your hats folks I think its coming. There is a broken link that is "http://www.seaworldparksblog.com/explore/blog/busch-gardens-invites-guests-feel-spirit-feel-speed-2011" Announcement inc? This appears to be the beginning of all the Cheetaka marketing. The main site include short video teasers., each teaser has a title:

Feel the spirit, feel the speed.
Power
Speed
Spirit
Chase
Accelerate
Agility

Doing some more searching it looks like a few days ago SPE official blog made this page: http://www.seaworldparksblog.com/exp...rit-feel-speed but there is no content... yet.

If anyone has trouble going to that site, you may need to use a browser other than IE (I got the mobile site on it). I had to use Firefox for it to work. Here is a screen shot of the page using Firefox:

There's 7 videos currently. The first video at the end has something fly past the grass very fast. Basically all the videos are the same...just changes in the text.

Man I am really excited about this project, Busch Gardens always seems to put out the best coasters IMO. Hopefully we will know more very soon.

I love how they're building the anticipation so early. It'll make for a great attraction I bet.
