The Bolliger & Mabillard designed SheKra dive roller coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa, Tampa, Florida

Just a little pro tip for riding SheiKra.  When you come to the rides' two vertical drops stick your legs out for a better ride.  That raises your center of gravity just a little bit and as a result you get just a little more airtime.

After spiraling around in the sky this bird of prey makes a shallow dive to take you to SheiKra's finale.

That finale is a high speed run over a pond where the funnels that are attached to SheiKra's back row come into play.

Dangling ones feet a few inches above the water while speeding over it is kind of fun.

In the back of the train the funnels are scooping hundreds of gallons of water and sending them airborne and slightly slowing the train.
