Nice Coaster...Here at Busch Gardens theyt just opened the first 90 degree drop rollar coaster in the US ....Very scary when your at the top in the front row you cant see the track all you see is the ground before you drop....Very nice will get Pics
HERE:Link for virtual ride of Sheikra:
http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/fla/sheikra_wm_high.html
SheiKra carries riders up 200 feet at 45 degrees, then hurtles them 70 mph back toward the ground at a 90-degree angle. It is the first coaster of its kind in the Americas and only the third in the world.
SheiKra is the first dive coaster to incorporate an Immelmann loop, a water feature, and a second 90-degree 138-foot drop through an underground tunnel. SheiKra also includes a 360-degree climbing carousel. 3,188 feet of steel track offers a total ride time of just over three minutes
