Griffon or Sheikra?

[CoasterKing]

I prefer Griffon because the floorless aspect makes the drop and the splashdown into the helix seem more intense. I like them both but I think Griffon is more thrilling.

I think the thing that takes away from SheiKra is that, it doesn't have the greatest layout. I've been on both but, Griffon is the BEST. Great layout, great ride.

^Sheikra has a better layout that Griffon, it's not just someone reaching the MCBR and going "So, what do we do with the rest?" "Eh, it's late, copy and paste the first part, add a water splash, and lets go home".

Ben, why do I always know what you are going to reply before I even read it? :roll:

They are both floorless.

Not quite Marc. SkeiKra has a large floor section undern the middle seats. Only the four outside seats are floorless. Griffon only has a very small half floor under the two middle seats, leaving the eight other seats floorless.

^Nah, it's blates only the middle two on Sheikra as well...

"Eh, it's late, copy and paste the first part, add a water splash, and lets go home".

Of course, with Sheikra they said "Well.. hell.. we have no room and need this to finish somehow.. so lets make two boring turns and a water splash next to the path. Oo.. and add a hole.. maybe those Oblivion fanboys will like it."

Epic.

^WIN!


I guess the floor under the middle two seats on SheiKra seems bigger because the trains are so much smaller. :wink:

At least it's different :wink:

 

[marc]

I just had a thought, maybe he rode it when Sheikra still had a floor.

 

[furie]

Sheikra doesn't have a hole. It's a bit of tubing around a little drop. It's a holette

I doubt there can be that much difference between the two to be honest

griffon is blue and sheikra is red thats the diffirance bettween them i luv griffon

 

[Anonymous]

i like griffon

 

[wolverinechris]

Ah; this brings back memories from my early days here...at that time Oblivion was in the poll as well and we got to have a nice argue about that...

Anyhow, I've now been on Sheikra, and I have to say, I prefer it to Griffon. And there was definitely a noticeable difference for me at least.

That said, I'm not the wildest fan of dive machines in general.

 

[PLCP]

Griffon is better. It wasn't really the extra Immelman, (tbh that didn't make too much of a difference) but it was the two pops of airtime that did it for me.

SHEIKRA OR GRIFFON

I BEEN ON BOTH THERE BOTH EXACLY THE SAME

 

[Rush]

No you haven't and no they're not.

Despite only being on Griffon, I'd say it's slightly better. Sheikra may have the nicer surroundings but Griffon has one of the lushest paint jobs ever.

I too would take the bunny hops and extra immelmann over a banked turn.

Also Griffon's outer two seats are amazing! Really feels so weird hanging over the drop with absolutely nothing beneath you.

Saying that Sheikra looks amazing too! Dive Machines. <3
