Join us on Expedition Busch Gardens Tampa as we look at the history of the first Dive Coaster in the United States. SheiKra was the tallest, fastest and most inversions on a dive roller coaster until its sister park took the lead with Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. Today many Dive Coasters exist but is the first still the best?
Thank you for watching Expedition Theme Park. We will see you next time.

Sheikra is the best dive coaster. It's the whole package. Landscaping, a tunnel, an inversion, trees, near misses, the smell of ribs, no floor, views of Tampa bay, loose restraints, the best colors, a splashdown, two helixes, and you already know the best part.

Brilliant, hilarious use of it, I literally lol'ed.

Born and raised an hour south of tampa. Ridden this ride more times than I can count. My favorite ever experience riding it though was at Howl-O-Scream back in 2011. That year, instead of specific scarezones they had random roving hordes of zombies. We were hanging at the top before the Sheikra drop (at like 1 AM) and as we drop, all of a sudden, a shit ton of zombies run out of their backstage area so it looks like we are rushing down to meet them. I sincerely doubt it was synched on purpose, but it was amazing

I visited BGT for the first time in January 2005. The Stanley Falls Flume broke down on us just before the first drop, and we had to be evaced from the ride. To get back to the park, we had to go through Sheikra's construction site, and that was one of the coolest things I got to experience in my early coaster-riding years. We returned to the park later that year and got our ride on Sheikra. Back when it was the only dive coaster in the US, it truly felt like nothing else out there.

SheiKra was my first dive coaster, and I loved it! It's neck-and-neck with Valravn for me, but Yukon Striker is now my favorite dive coaster. I'm still able to get just as good airtime with the vest restraints, plus those vests eliminate any possibility of headbanging. SheiKra didn't give me any headbanging, but Griffon did.

I went to busch gardens tampa as part of my middle school's senior field trip, so we got to ride shiekra at night. The view was even better at night, especially since it was there was a clear sky. I jokingly quipped to my friends "what a beautiful night to die" and accidentally timed it perfectly to right before the fall. Its a night I will always remember.

I love this coaster so much. I'm an absolute coaster junkie but hadn't been on too many huge ones when I first went to Florida in 2009. Disneyland Paris was the most thrilling I'd experienced. I walked up to SheiKra and although there was no doubt I was going on... I still felt sick. But then I couldn't get enough!

Been subbed for a long time and each video keeps me asking for more. An interesting takeaway from this: Griffon is floorless because the rows are 10 seats across. SheiKra is only 8. To compensate, B&M decided the best way to allow for the heavier trains would be to remove the floor on Griffon. Source: I work at BGW, specifically in the tours department.

I was a kid absolutely terrified of heights when my oldest sibling basically bullied me into riding this, and I was scared to death the whole way up. Once the drop hit, however, I was hooked for life. I still have crippling acrophobia tho, I just learned to close my eyes on the lift hills LMAO

My mom lives near Tampa and I went to Busch Gardens for the first time this holiday season. As a long-time Disney/Universal fan -- there are some TERRIFIC rides at Busch Gardens, though they're not in the same league in terms of general theming -- and their queue management is laughably lax compared to Disney/Uni!!! Got to the end of a line and a crew member waved me through -- I stopped and asked which row I needed to go on, he says, "Whichever you want." At Disney/Uni, it's like a military operation; Busch Gardens feels more like a big playground.

Sheikra and Griffon may offer inversions, bigger drops and longer ride, but there's still just something about Oblivion and dropping straight into a black hole, as basic as it is, just makes it so special compared to the rest

I just went to BGT for the first time a few days ago. Montu was my favorite but SheiKra was a close second!

Love going to Busch Gardens just for the coasters. And the animals. :)

I love the Griffin! I ride it over and over when my family goes down to Williamsburg. The best ride I've had on it though was a husband that was freaking out while waiting to drop because his wife made them sit up front. I couldn't even be scared I was laughing too hard.

I love this ride, the first time I went to the park in 2015 I rode it 4 times and when I went back a couple of weeks ago I rode it two times, would have gone more times if it wasn't for the weather

Oh god it's so weird to think that a youtuber I watch and enjoy a lot frequents a theme park I actually work at. If I ever recognize your voice in person I will lose my mind.
