Just a note, that is Busch Gardens Tampa, not Williamsburg. It was reported wrong in the source article.

This is going to to blow every other drop ride out off the planet! The most intense ride experience of all rides for me is that first drop release on GIBs. It's that fear that you may fall out, then that fear feels totally realized. The stall on impulse coasters on the back spike "sort of" does it, but there is nothing like that build up and tortuous hanging getting pulled up that first spike face down. Can't blessed wait to get there <3 <3 <3 Anyone have an idea of when the seats will go prone?
