Simply, Oh My God. Like Oblivion but worse :o

Its called Sheikra, and is a 200 foot, vertical drop jobby with an Immelmann loop (whatever one of those is), anotehr 130 foot drop into an underground tunnel, a water feature and a total ride time of 3 minutes.

I almost decided not to go to florida with the folks this spring, but one thing is for sure, now, i am going!

Check out the videos on http://www.buschgardens.com/buschgardens/fla/sheikra.aspx

I think the Immelmann loop is the one that does a large half loop, then twists over on the downward bit. Its similar to the second loop on Kraken in real life, where the coaster does a barrel roll whilst climbing up one side and then does a half loop back down!!

As far as im aware i couldnt make one of those in RCT3, maybe in an update?
