News: Santas Dive into the Holidays with SheikraBy Alex W |
Dec. 21st, 2005 --
Tampa, Fla. - Twenty-four Santa Clauses
try not to toss their cookies and milk on SheiKra – America’s only dive coaster
– at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. The jolly band of Santas took a break from the North Pole for a quick ride on the tallest and steepest dive coaster in the world Wednesday morning. While the speed of Santa’s “sleigh and eight tiny reindeer” is a well-kept secret, SheiKra reaches speeds up to 70 mph and offers three minutes of over-the-edge excitement on more than half a mile of steel track.
