"Cheetah Hunt" by Kelley

            Busch Gardens is one of everyone’s favorite theme parks, and it is about to get even better. They already have so many roller coasters like Montu, Kumba, and Sheikra. Busch Gardens is almost done building their new rollercoaster, Cheetah Hunt. Cheetah Hunt is located towards the front of the park, near Montu. From a distance, the rollercoaster looks like it has a giant figure eight at the top, and right after that there is a 130 foot drop.
            Cheetah Hunt is also said to be the longest rollercoaster in Florida. In addition to the figure eight and 130 foot drop, it will also have large bank turns. Busch Gardens also says that Cheetah Hunt track will soar right over the park’s sky ride. The rollercoaster is 4,429 feet long and will go at a max speed of sixty miles per hour. Busch Gardens also says that the rollercoaster will be able to accommodate 1,400 riders per hour.
            To keep the all of the cheetahs at Busch Gardens happy comfortable, Busch Gardens is also opening Cheetah Run. The cheetahs will be able to be viewed at Cheetah Run when it opens Memorial Day weekend. It is said that fourteen cheetahs will live in the Cheetah Run area.
