PART ONE
We got in around 10. First, since we knew that Rhino Rally is the most popular ride, we headed to that. Same thing it always was, too tame, not exciting, Vekoma. Next, we headed to Timbuktu, mainly for Cheetah Chase. The last time we were at BGT, they were testing Cheetah Chase. We got on three times, and we didn't have to get off once! Then, we got one ride in on the small, but cool, Scorpion. Next, after a little bit of a walk, we went on Kumba (while some others from our group went and rode some more rides in Timbuktu, and the Bumper Cars). We rode four times, 1 time in the front, twice in the back, and once in the 4th row. Kumba is awesome. And I love how it has that surprise tunnel at the end, and that awesome helix, possibly the best one ever.I swear, it's so close to the ground that if you stuck your hand out of the train, you could touch the ground. Next, since Congo River Rapids was down for maintenence, we went on Stanley Falls and Tanganyita (sp) Title Wave. They're both a bit tame, but still fun. We also saw how ShieKra was going. Then, we went on the skyride. We got off near the Crown Colony House, and headed for Montu. Now, as you expect, Montu is awesome. I named myself after it after all. Photo's don't do the ride any justice. It is basically, to sum it up, FL's best ride. Especially in the front. First, you go up the chain lift to the aprrox. 150 ft. peak. You then dive. You hit the first loop, and then the immelman. Next, you go through the zero G roll. This is NOT a barell roll. And it doesn't matter if you've seen this in photo's, you can't see the awesomeness of this. YOu literally fly thorugh it at approx. 45 MPH. It is awesome. YOu then do the rare batwing, and hit the MCBRs. Then, you dive and do a loop. Then you kind of cruise around a little, and it makes you think the rides about to end. Suddenly, you dive and go into the awesome final surprise corkscrew. This is easily better then Dueling Dragons. And the theming on this is totally awesome. I will do Part Two later on.

After Montu, we headed for KaTonga. Cool show, i guess. After that, we went for a ride on Gwazi. They were only letting people ride Lion, despite the fact they were running Tiger. And the loading crew was extremely slow. After about 20 min. (it should've been 5 min.) we got a ride on the front of Tiger. Fun, and definitely intense. But they should run Tiger to make it even better. After that, we went for another ride on Rhino Rally. A was better in the morning. But at least this driver kept doing wisecracks and things like that. Next, we went to the Gorilla exhibits. Hmm... This isn't much fun I thought. It was about 8:00 then, so we headed home. Overall, I thought this was one of our better trips there, as I got to ride in the front of Kumba, Gwazi, Montu, and Cheetah Chase. Final Grade: ***** out of *****.

What Im still trying to grasp is, are yuo so embedded in fanboyness that you not only report everytime you go to your LOCAL park, but you have the balls to give it a perfect score everytime you go?

Shame on you sir....

This isn't local, and I only go this park about 4-5 times a year. And I go to theme parks a h*lluva lot more times then I do a TR. i go all the time. But since I don't go to this near as much as the other ones, I thought I would do a TR. And Diesel, you are correct about my fanboyness, now that SheiKra is going up, and I have seen it in person.

Fanboyness is nothing to be proud of.

Tis a mark of shame.
