Awesome coaster, but for me it was less than I expected. There is not doubt that this is a great ride, just shorter
than I expected.
Definitely a solid 8-9 coaster due to the shortness. If it were longer I would definitely give it a
10.

This coaster is intense but short. I love this ride alot because how the line moves so fast. Thats the good part about
it. See im 13 and when i went on this ride everyone in line was 18#. This kinda worried me, but after i went on this
ride i was so amazed. This ride is so intense in the little amount of time. After the ride is over, look to the people
next to you and you will see everyones hair is standing straight up!!!

This coaster is the baddest coaster I've ever been on. It is my favorite ride ever. It's a pretty good thing I only
live about an hour away from the park.

When I went on it for the first time, I was surprised that the line went faster then I expected. The whole ride was
excellent, and the water effect looks cool off-ride. However, like most roller coasters, it just seemed too short. If
you ever get a chance to ride this, you absolutely MUST ride in the front car. It's an experience you will NEVER
forget.

ok I know that this will sound contradictory but this ride is an awesome one of a type ride, My favorite part of it is
obviously the 2 drops. The ONLY thing I didn't like about the ride was the length I thought it could of went on a little
longer ;). The thing is, you really need to sit on one of the outside seat's on this ride to really experience it, My
first ride was on one of the inner seats near the track, and my second ride of the day was the outer seat .......... No
question the very edge seats are awesome, you will get AWESOME airtime on the outside .......... if 90 degrees and
beyond is the direction that most coasters are going now a days then count me IN for the future ;)

really, i was dissapointed by this ride. the first drop was ok, but the rest was just boring, the only consolation is
that i got in line just as it was opening so i only waited about ten minutes

Ashley; whats wrong with putting another similar DM in another park? Sheikra is good; but Busch have taken Griffon to a
slightly better league. and Griffon does definately have theming! If you haven't rode it you can't complain; Kraken is
very similar to Dragon Khan, why would they include very similar Loopers in the two parks? You argue with that, and i
guaruantee you will say Kraken is better.

Ashley, I'm not admitting because it isn't a copy. The same park company (Busch) bought both coasters from the same
manufacturer (B&M). In no way shape or form is it a copy. 10/10! Favorite ride ever!

I haven't been on the griffon of Shikra but i have seen he videos and I am a little disappointed, They really short cut
the ride I think. I could have been so much longer.

How can anyone really make the honest assessment that Sheikra is better than Griffon? Griffon is taller, faster, has two
vertical dives and two immelmans, and has longer rows, which puts you farther away from the track and enhances the ride
experience immensely!

This ride has the benefit of being in my favorite park. It is in my "top ten" and is a little better than it's brother
Sheikra. If you haven't been to Virginia, go !

tigger boxing it is not the same because it has the second immelman loop and also the two drops are both a full 90
degrees and sheikra only does 90 degrees on the first drop

To be honest it is the same as sheikra in tampa, the only difference it that this is blue and sheikra is red and griffon
is a bit newer than sheikra lmao.

Scan, no offense, but I've rode it like 15 times and the second immelman isn't even rough to say the least!

I was pretty disappointed in Griffon. The drop was awesome but the ride was too short. I expected more than just a
drop.

It's really fun with the hangover and 90 degree drop, but it's way to short. Why isn't it longer.

Wow man. Very different type of ride, amazing experience. Of course the drop was fantastic, but the Immelmans were
forceful too, and there were little pops of airtime everywhere. Just awesome.
