Cheetah Hunt is Busch Gardens Tampa Bay's long triple-launch coaster, built around the speed and agility of a cheetah.
Cheetah Hunt is not built around one giant drop, but around pace and rhythm. The train fires through multiple LSM launches, races over Windcatcher Tower, snaps through a heartline roll and then skims low across rocky terrain. That makes the ride feel like a long sprint through the park rather than a classic lift-hill coaster.
Edge of Africa
RCDB lists Intamin Amusement Rides, 4,429 feet of track, 102 feet of height, a 130-foot drop, 60 mph, 1 inversion, 4G, five trains with 16 riders each and 1,370 riders per hour. The official Busch Gardens page calls Cheetah Hunt the park's longest thrill ride at 4,400 feet with a 4-foot minimum height requirement.
The cheetah theme ties into Busch Gardens' animal identity through speed, rockwork, green-and-yellow track and a layout that dives high and low across the park.
Based on available measurements and historical wait-time data.
Spread of wait times, outage duration, and the number of outages per day based on available historical data.
763 measurements
Typical wait time: around 25 min.
It usually falls between 10 min and 45 min.
See more than 45 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.
Less than 10 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
6 outages
Outages usually last about 16 min.
Some are over quickly (sometimes within 5 min), others take longer (up to 41 min). That varies per outage.
Already longer than 41 min? The attraction may stay closed a while longer.
2 days
On days with outages, we see an average of 3 per day.
That usually falls between 3 and 4.
On quiet days it was 2, on busy days up to 4.
