 Review of SheiKra @ Busch Gardens Tampa

Sheikra is an excellent ride that delivers two extreme pull-down airtime experiences, plus a nice Immelmann loop. The first drop is out of this world, and let me tell you if you havent ridden in the back, you havent fully experienced Sheikras force. My first ride was in the front, where I believe most steel coasters are superior. It was very good...getting the view of the first drop was almost Acrophobia-esque, however it was in the back where this ride sealed its spot as a "9". The back seat gives INSANE pull-over airtime on both drops, and you still get a great view due to the seating arrangement. It has height, it has speed, and its drops are truly unique. Sheikra is a WINNER!!!

I cant imagine there being too much pull-over airtime on the first drop with the breaks, but maybe this wouldve been a better ride in the back.

The reason why is because there is a fair bit of space between the cars, much more so than a normal coaster, and also you are higher off the track in the back row. At the top brakes when you look down through the track, you can see the entire back of the drop track in front of you. When you drop you are thrown forward and pinned to the OSTR the whole way down.
