Another successful theme park day! I got to ride every coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa and had an absolute blast! I lowkey think that Iron Gwazi might be my new favorite coaster-
Thank you to the one person who voted on the poll, because that means we're doing a Busch Gardens post first, and we're starting off strong! I present to you my photos of Kumba!
I'm honestly a little disappointed with myself that I never took a video of it going by because it indeed lives up to its name - it's LOUD! But in a good way! It's truly just an amplification of the B&M roar that I'm already familiar with, but you can hear exactly how and where the sound is echoing through the hollow track - sounding like an ambient growl - as the train passes and it's so cool!
Also I'm not kidding at all when I say that Kumba's roar is loud. We were in a different section of the park & I could hear it still in the distance. It was awesome!
And while I'm at it, I should also mention that it's not just the sound that's great, but the ride experience. One of those inversions (I think maybe the dive loop) was 100% the whippiest inversion I've ever experienced in my life. I was loving every second!!!

We're shaking things up today and heading to Busch Gardens Tampa for some images of Cheetah Hunt!
Fun fact about me, cheetahs are my favorite animal, and have been since I was a kid! I was pretty ecstatic to go on this coaster, and was even more excited to not only see that there were cheetah facts in the queue, but that there was a bunch of detail work! Everything from the cheetah-shaped rock in queue (image 2) to the design of the train to the ride experience itself made me incredibly happy.
And speaking of the experience, an Intimin multi-launch was an excellent choice for a cheetah-themed roller coaster. Also you get to see a beautiful view of the whole park from what I've been nicknaming the "bowtie" in image 5. There's also some airtime going up there, so that's cool. And besides that section where you get a moment to breathe, the whole ride is exciting high-speed action! I was lucky enough to get to ride Cheetah Hunt twice while I was in Tampa, and I wouldn't hesitate to go on it again!
