- This B&M (Bolliger & Mabillard) dive coaster opened in 2005 and was the first of its kind in the USA thanks to the popularity of Oblivion at Alton Towers in the UK, which opened seven years earlier. It was converted to a floorless coaster in 2007, following the opening of its sister Dive Coaster Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg that year.
Did you know that the coaster was planned to be 160 feet tall, but the park's executives rejected this and the height was changed to 200 feet?
You can also watch the off-ride video we posted to see more of what this thrilling coaster looks like: • SheiKra off-ride Busch...
We also posted a reverse video as you can see what the splash down looks like from the rear of the coaster: • SheiKra rear seat on-r...
This Busch Gardens park is located in Tampa, Florida.

![Every Roller Coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa POV [4K] 2022](/img/n.gif)
The anxiety I felt waiting in line for this ride was unreal.
Don´t say that, now I got scared and I´m just sitting at home!
MotherF Jones don’t be scared, it’s exhilarating. I’m probably riding it tomorrow and I’ll be nervous all over again.
I always get anxiety before rides. I'm going to Busch gardens in 2 weeks and I'm kinda scared now because of this ride
LiLShorty502 ' you’ll naturally be scared but don’t let it stop you! The anxiety I felt was way worse than the actual ride.
@@ynaa22 that's how it is. I get bad anxiety before but then when I'm on the ride, I still have it. When I go down the drop, I dont have it anymore and it's really fun!
"Were goin straight down we are going straitght down" *such inspiring words*
I love that they stop you at the very top to make you think what you’ve just done
Similar to Griffin at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
I always think that every time I ride a rollercoaster 😖 but is always fun.
One of my all time favorites. Especially when you’re riding in the front
Yesss,
Seat 1 front row yesterday. Absolutely loved it.
This isn't much at all...
1:42 even though I'm not on I can feel it in my stomach 🥴
Live Love Life me too!🤢
@@sgaea7080 lol
Meh also
Me to
I went and the first time you go u feel sick... then the next times you’re trying to figure out what face to make at the camera. You can’t feel anything the 2nd tome
1:26 - Yes, we are going straight down. I can hear the kid in the background. xD
That was great
We’re going STRAIGHT down.
Live footage of me panicking with my friends asking if they are okay because I lurked the ride several times as I walked around.
(Im not the kid in the back)
Having been on this many times before, it's still nerve-wracking watching it go over the drop like that... One of my favorites ever
How bad is the stomach feeling on the drop?
I managed to get up, get water get back on the couch and comment this while it went up
it’s so scary going up lmao I’ve been on it
Iron ghazi is insanely tall but it's your opinion
Yes I’ve been on it and all you can think of when you r going up is I’m ded
The drop is insane bruh
*Then you have to watch the lift hill for The Beast*
This was my first ever “big” rollercoaster I’ve ever ridden and my father decided to sit in the front row ;-; needless to say I started screaming as soon as the gates open..
it was my first big rollercoaster too , but my dad didn’t go on it with me ,, and I was in the safest spot in my opinion (middle row, middle seat)
Same! I started to cry but stopped because it wasn’t that bad I also lost my voice after I got off that ride 😃👍🏽
This was also my first big ride, except it was with my older sister and we sat in the front row in the middle
This was my first as well, and we decided second row. I don't know why I was excited I almost vomited and I was not enjoying the ride lmfao
A night ride is unreal! Best ride in the park for me
Nobody here talks about how the back cars have funnels attached to the sides that scoop into the water at 2:20 and swamps the passersby outside, for anyone possibly wondering why the track is running level with the water there.
Ya because not everyone is obsessed with coasters nor do they care.
@@nimuaegore3010 damn, tf is good with you?
@@nimuaegore3010 Trust me, 99% of people following this channel ARE obsessed with roller coasters.
you get drenched if youre standing in the soak zone
I’m slowly beating my fear of coasters. I went on Scorpion, Cobra’s Curse, and Cheetah Hunt yesterday and liked them! That said...I’m NEVER getting on this lol
Did you end up doing it. I did it too. I was scared but I went on it. AMAZING YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT
YES
Awesome!
I had a fear of roller coasters until I went on this ride. My sis and her friend forced me to go on it and I ended up liking it a lot.
It’s so fast you don’t have time to think
In the back you get serious FLOATER air.
No ejector over the drop?
@@visionist7 no. It's all floater
@@twistedcheese1 :-(
CRAZY FLOATER
TBH the term "floater" always reminded me of turds in a toilet bowl X-D is there no alternative name for it we can spread amongst the community?
The first time I went on this ride, I flipped out and got I'll after it was done, and I couldn't go on any other rides.
Now, I can't get enough of this ride. It's the best.
I miss this roller coaster 😭 I saw another video of this ride before going to Busch Gardens and I thought it was cool. When I figured out it was in Busch Gardens, I was sooo excited because my family and I were going to go there to celebrate that I took my casts off (I had two). I saw that Shiekra was there, and I’m like “That ride... should I go?” I did and it was fantastic!!! I got to see everything the video showed! Plus, since you don’t feel anything when you are watching a video, I experienced the intensity and anxiety of this ride!!
I was there during the first week it came out. No smart phone cameras at the time. I had no idea what to expect as a 13 year old. The view of the landscape near twilight at the top of the coaster was serene. Then, DROP.
The first dive coaster I've ridden. Now I'm hooked. Can't wait to try the Yukon Striker!
until the drop this looks exactly like yukon striker wtf... also canadas wonderland is right next to my house and ive ridden yukon and its not very fun
This ride is insane, and with the current situation we are in the park is soo empty. I was able to finish this ride and then go right back up to the top with no wait. Needless to say this ride is insane and one of my favorites. 90 degree downward drop btw
This was my first big roller coaster, my brother and cousins made me get on and I was nervous af, but when it was over I rode everything in the park and loved coasters ever since
Same
Humble
back row is just as scary. i went on it for the first time with my mom and her friend and we were like “back row probably isn’t that bad” so we went on it and it was horrifying. like, with the front row, the scary part is the dangling. for the back row, it’s going UP. it’s scary and it makes you feel like the cart is gonna detach and that you’re gonna die. i love it AND i hate it
when i was waiting in line to ride this some kid puked on like 5 seats cuz it flew back onto other people and took like 30 minutes to clean. We waited and still rode it. The wait was so worth it.
If this ain't motivation to sit in the front...
The view on the top of the lift hill is amazing! You can see the whole landscape all the way to Downtown Tampa
Rode it three times in a row, twice in the front. Literally the most fun I've ever had
Man, why did I go to this park BEFORE this ride was even built?
I went just weeks before they converted the trains to floorless. Then again the coaster probably closed for a while as they converted the station so I got lucky in a sense. Gwazi was closed and somehow I missed Montu
tf is gwazi? When I went there was no gwazi
CAUSE FUCKING KUMBA!!!
@@yellowblue_tt There used to be a wooden coaster named Gwazi. It is now getting a remake which should be out within 2 years.
Mikaru oh so that’s why their newest coaster is called iron gwazi?
If you ever have chance to go here and enjoy this ride I found sitting on the end seats (either end) made it a little more exciting. On the very first drop you are away from the rail and there's absolutely nothing below your feet while it holds you there before releasing and letting gravity do its works. Absolutely amazing experience. Remember it for life!
Hey I was there yesterday! Got stuck on cheetah hunt . Cheetah hunt was down 4 times yesterday. Tigris 5 times. Sheikra 1. Phoenix all day. Kumba down once. Crazy
Not surprised. Intamin AG sucks at manufacturing "launch coasters." Waited in line for 45 mins once for King Da Ka, at six flags great adventure, only to have them shut it down due to a "mechanical issue" with the launch system.
Phoenix has been shutdown and not able to run for like 3 years now and now theres not even an entrance i think
I’ve never seen cheetah hunt shut down, so this is kinda interesting to me. The only time was when it started raining once. Other than that, I’d have to say Falcon’s Fury has had the most shut downs whenever I went.
This looks amazing.
I remember waiting 3 hours to go on this opening weekend 11 years ago!
dan r opening weekend was 14 years ago back in 2005
Sheikra is amazing. Probably the smoothest rollercoaster ride ever.
I've been on that ride 55 times in 1 day. That's a beautiful ride.
It's a great ride.
THIS is the rollercoaster I went on to conquer my fears of any kind of ride and it worked, abouslety worth it coming across the pond from the UK to go to this theme park
Hello, thanks for sharing this video. I like watching POV rides on CZcams. I just subscribed. Earlier this summer, my family and i had a vacation and went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which is where we have regularly gone too. Busch Gardens Williamsburg is also a great amusement park. I rode on the Griffon, and it’s also a great roller coaster. I would love to go to Busch Gardens Tampa some day. 😃
Also, I watched this video twice bc, I was watching this during a thunderstorm, and the storm took out the power for a few seconds. Hehe 😜
For me being 13 and waiting in the line for the first time with a lot of anxiety I think it was work it (also if it’s your first time pick middle row)
My adrenaline was rushing like crazy after I got off this ride I literally trembled after I got off and my right thigh hurt a lot oof I had fun
11 major parks an counting. Rode this day 3 of operation. Only coaster to ever loose my voice on the drop. Amazing ride and Busch Gardens nows how to build scenery in a park.
Love this ride but cheetah Hunt and the Kumba is my favorite
In my opinion, kumba isn’t the best to me only because it rattles your head and hurts. Just an opinion tho
It’s a good ride. I’m going there in a month and I’m looking forward to it
One of the coasters on my bucket list.
Amazing coaster
Always will be my favorite coaster!!!
I love Sheikra. It's my favorite at Busch Gardens
my mom is making me go on this ride when we go back to florida in december💀🥶🤪
Wouldn't that be in off season?
@John Isbell ah, ok
Isabel maerz rip
Bitch snowbird go back to new york ypu cause accident and drive like a toddler we all hate snowbirds like you. :) just so you know
Imagine not being a full time Florida man smh
Did y’all get the kid say we’re going straight down and than start crying 😂
I remember riding this when I was 11 and I was so scared at first, I had so much anxiety. We had a VIP pass to get their first and I was telling my mom, mom please “can we wait in the line!”But I’m telling you it was amazing! Really it was!!
Im 11 rn and i rode this and it didnt scare me lol
i rode this when i was NINE9
Thank you for the video. My biggest fear is rollercoasters and watching this makes me feel a bit better.
Do y'all have any advice on the fear of the ride up before the drop? I'm trying to rewire my brain that it's ok to feel anxiety to this degree. I have aready rode everything else besides iron gwazi and sheikra.
I’ve never rode this coaster however I’ve been on rides that have steeper drops then this. The best thing I can recommend is that the steep drops are never as bad as it seems. It’s over in a matter of seconds and it’s never as forceful as it looks.
It’s one of the strangest looking coasters and one of the most fun drops
i flipping LOVE that ride
_Hella nervous but also pretty excited while in line. I went on with my 2 friends who were probably terrified. The drop and the middle of the ride scared me the most tbh. I felt an instant regret but I wanted to do it again lmao_
Love that ride, wow amazing!!!! Love sharon 💜
I went to Busch Gardens when I was young and was too scared to get on roller coasters. Now after going back to Florida and doing Disney/Universal again and finally trying them, I wish we could've gone back to Busch. I would so love to try this coaster.
Loved Valraven at CP, will be riding this one day
Easily one of the best roller coasters I've ever been on.
Did you use a chesty or handgrip? Just got my Hero 7 Black and would love to get some great videos like these. I do have some questions. I see you filmed at 4k 60fps, what settings would you suggest if I wanted to do slow-mo as well? Also are you using the casing that comes with it or a different one to help with the sound of the wind? Thanks in advance.
Funny enough, this was my first coaster. it set the bar a little too high for the rest of the rides
Sheikra is my fav roller coaster
I just went on this ride yesterday, the drop is scary af, the feeling is surreal-almost like your soul leaves your body! 🤣🤣
First ride on this yesterday. #2 at the park. Can’t decide weather Montu or Kumba is #1.
Think it’s Kumba.
The first drop looks brutal lol
Kinda wanna say this is a better ride than Valravn at Cedar Point but I’ll wait until I can reride Valravn before I make that judgement. I like them both.
Just when you stop there is a great view of Tigris and Kumba
I definitely underestimated the steepness of the climb and how long it takes for the first drop to go. One of the only times riding a coaster where i felt some sort of regret lol!
Rode this a year ago, fun ride.
Dude Im from Tampa and this has got to be the scariest ride I've ever been on.
I loved this coaster
i have a fear of rollercoasters & yesterday the anxiety i had waiting in line with my friends that forced me to go was ridiculous lmaoo however after the first drop i had a great time on the ride & was able to go on 3 other big roller coasters in busch gardens with no anxiety 🥲
I can’t believe I rode this insane ride haha 😂
when they held you over the edge my friends were screaming and crying i just said “uh oh!” but i loved this ride
I love this roller coaster
This ride was the best one
Is this still there! I remember riding it about 8 times when I was in Florida almost 20 years ago.
It’s soooooo fun and exciting

BEST DIVE COASTER IN THE WORLD
@VenomAliive Yukon Striker
@VenomAliive Nooooo
i hate big drops but the rest seems easy and fun. from 1 to 5, 5 being very intense, how bad is the drop? what's your best advice to calm down your anxiety when you climbing up a big roller coaster? and before the big drop, what's your best advice to somewhat enjoy big drops?
Did you go on it? I need advice lol
@@SamsAHippie 3 years too late but here is my advice.
Is it scary? Yes! Is it intense? A little, but that's the point. However, it's only 3 seconds of a scare, the rest is extremely tame.
I say ride it 10/10 and I'm someone that's scared of coasters, but this was worth it. Then you can brag that you rode it!
I've rode Sheikra twice, anxious times.
That was a fun ride
My favorite ride
There's a ride just like this in Busch gardens, Williamsburg! I rode it. It's called the griffon!
Ugh my stomach turnes over every time i get on this ride 😂
I went on this ride on vacation in Florida it is fun
Bravo 👏👏👏👏👏
1:30 we’re going straight down
I know people are scared but I was also really scared before I got on, and after I finished riding it, it was amazing.
Why do I keep saying Shakira instead of Sheikra
I rode this when I was like 8 or 9 years old, piece of cake.
This was the first ride i went on when I went there
Are there always wasps up there when you get to the top?
I go in this every time I go
Super!
Sheikra is the scariest rollercoaster at Busch gardens when I went on it with my uncle when we dropped down I felt like I was gonna fall out of my seat
From a scale 1 to 10 how much do you feel the drop on this ride
yesterday i was on the big bird egg ride and this was going up and we were blasting execution music
That’s where I sat in the front row seat😂
Amo!!!
Is this basically the Griffon from BG Williamsburg?
It's so much better at night
Just went on this twice a few minutes ago. Holy hell, worse than TIGRIS. Love it.
Tampa is awesome
I went on the ride and a bug flew in my mouth and it was night time
Christian J Harris rip
Free Bug meat protein
At least you didn't have to pay for a 30 dollar meal in the park
I’m going on the park tomorrow just watching the ride gives me anxiety omg
