Cheetah Hunt

Cheetah Hunt is a steel launched roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in Tampa, Florida. Manufactured by Intamin, it opened to the public on May 27, 2011, alongside a new cheetah exhibit, "Cheetah Run".
The concept for the roller coaster, later to be known as Cheetah Hunt, from conceptualization to completion took seven years. Cheetah Hunt was designed by Mark Rose, vice president of design and engineering at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, along with several parks executives. Rose was inspired a scene in the Star Wars series, Return of the Jedi, where the protagonists navigated the forests of Endor on speeder bikes. He initially thought of using a lift hill to reach the speed he wanted but after realizing the height of the lift would be too tall, he incorporated the design to include and linear synchronous motor system.
