Tigris

Tigris is a Premier Rides Sky Rocket II that launches riders forward and backward several times.

Tigris is compact but unapologetically intense: the train blasts through the same launch track several times, switches between forward and backward motion, and finishes high above the ground with a vertical climb, heartline roll and non-inverting loop. The tiger theme mainly underlines speed, spring-loaded power and sudden changes of direction.

Theming

The tiger theme comes through in the color palette, queue messaging and the emphasis on sudden acceleration. The queue also references tiger conservation and habitat protection.

Typical wait time: around 15 min.

It usually falls between 5 min and 30 min.

See more than 30 min? It is probably busier than usual — consider a quieter moment.

Less than 5 min? You are in luck: that does not happen often.
