Cheetah Hunt's first trains have arrived!


Yes, that's right! Every day, we're one inch nearer to the grand-opening of one of the most-awaited roller coasters in Central Florida: Cheetah Hunt. It will be huge, and heavily-themed, judging from the artworks that Busch Gardens Tampa released months ago (and by the constant picture-updates that we see).

Yesterday though, Busch Gardens announced that the trains for the coaster have just arrived! Take a look at some pictures, courtesy of the official Busch Gardens Tampa Blog:
