Busch Gardens’ Cheetah Hunt roller coaster track arrives, takes to the skies

in Busch Gardens, Theme Parks

Cheetah Hunt’s vibrant green track twists through a thrilling loop with bold yellow supports, set against a dramatic cloudy sky at Busch Gardens.

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has revealed a look at the always momentous occasion of the first pieces of roller coaster track being assembled for their newest under-construction ride, Cheetah Hunt.

Just beyond the construction walls that wrap around a large portion of the theme park now lies a giant green and yellow structure towering overhead. The park has shared a few pictures with us (click to enlarge):

The tower seemingly appeared overnight:

My personal favorite shot is below. I look forward to seeing this perspective while riding Cheetah Hunt when it opens next year:

Cheetah Hunt opens in spring 2011 and will feature several powered launches throughout its 4,429 feet of track.
