Cheetah Hunt Exhibit #2: How Busch Gardens Got Their Spots!

A few weeks ago we gave you an in-depth look at the Cheetah Hunt gift shop, Cheetah Gifts, and its exhibit. Today we are giving you an in-depth look at another exhibit in the Cheetah Hunt area but this one is a bit more hidden. 
Located by the elevator for Cheetah Hunt is another exhibit entitled, "How Busch Gardens Got Their Spots".  This exhibit shows off a lot of the theming aspects of the coaster more than the technical aspects of it like the other exhibit. While this is an exhibit you should go see your self, some highlights included a look at the different concepts of the "cheetah rock". One concept included a "cheetah skull"! The "cheetah skull" looked amazing and reminded me of skull rock in Disneyland Paris but better! More concept art showed a B & M track along with the heartline roll being placed in the Rhino Rally Canyon vs. just outside it. This exhibit is something that any Rollercoaster Enthusiast will appreciate along with any Architectural Geek! Be sure to check it out just inside  the entrance for Cheetah Hunt and to your left! I have to say that Busch Gardens, PGAV and everyone else involved in creating this really outdid themselves! Just follow signs towards the elevator. Thanks for viewing and be sure to check out the pictures of the exhibit below and click any of them to view them larger.

Cheetah Skull is pretty kick butt! Maybe we will see it used in some other form later down the road!
