Cheetah Hunt- Intamin for Busch Gardens Tampa

Yeah, I've never really loved any of Busch's shirts... although some of the vaguer designs look pretty good.
 
The one on the left here is pretty cool. The other merchandise is nothing special although I'm sure it'll be popular.

Oh and this one is alright. Although it looks all grainy and slightly faded.

That's nice.
I'm going to Flambards but I'm not sure why everyone needs to know such useless information, ah well I've typed it now...

Nothing says goon like an over the top ride t-shirt ;]

They're hideous.
 
I like the one Benin likes, but yeah - the others are a bit much, even for me. :p
 
The brown one is definitely the best of the two, but still not that good.

But the hat is just awesome! :wink:
 
Not got time to read the whole topic but was at Busch Gardens today. It looks really good at the moment. A lot of digging work going on around it. The random figure of 8 actually looks good if a bit random. It can be seen from quite a few different areas of the park and is pretty impressive to look directly up at.

I am now the owner of the blue version of the t-shirt that Benin posted. Benin on the other hand may wish to change his opinion on the other version of the t-shirts...ooops...

Blue? But I don't WEAR blue... :p

And you know damn well I don't change my opinion easily... ¬¬
 
I love that brown T-Shirt. It's a shame I don't wear ride T-Shirts or I'd have to buy one. Anyway, anybody any idea when testing is? I heard a date on Screamscape but they said it may be at night they do it :(
 
New RCPro update

Also, here's the press release from the park regarding testing taking place tomorrow!

Testing Crews to Launch Cheetah HuntFor the First Time This Weekend
Cheetah Hunt’s Multiple Launch Points Will Undergo
Numerous, Repeated Tests Over The Next Several Days


Friday, April 15, 2011 (Tampa, FL) – This weekend, Busch Gardens’ Design & Engineering team will officially launch Florida’s first triple-launch coaster for the first time. But, the park warns, guests hoping to catch a glimpse of the testing in progress shouldn’t expect Cheetah Hunt to be up to full speed quite yet.

The process, which kicks off Saturday morning, begins by testing each launch point over and over again at partial power with both empty trains and cars loaded with “water dummies” that simulate the weight of human passengers.

After each launch, the train will be pulled back into position and launched again. Crews will start with the first launch point, which propels the train out of the station house; by weekend’s end, they plan to have moved on to the second launch point. At full power, launch point No. 2 will send trains up the 102-foot Windcatcher Tower. Trains testing at partial power, however, will not make it to the top of the tower.

Early next week, this phase of testing will wrap up with the third launch point – located just past the canyon in the northern end Cheetah Hunt’s footprint. Soon after, trains will start making complete circuits around the track’s 4429-foot run.

But how soon will actual people replace the water dummies? “We will run more than 3,000 cycles of the ride before we put humans on it,” says Mark Rose, Busch Gardens’ Vice President of Design & Engineering. When the time comes, Rose will be one of the first people to ride.
