The new Shikra is a must ride roller coaster!  I went to Busch Gardens when Shikra first opened and it was fantastic.  Then they "upgraded" it by taking the floor out and I went and tried it again.  It's one of the most thrilling coasters around!  Just wonderful.  For coaster fanatics...you CAN fit all their coasters in, in a day.  I did it.  The only one that I had a problem with, was the oldest one.  Very rickety and bumpy...I did get some bruising on my hips from getting jostled back and forth.  It's a rough ride for sure.

The new animal section is set up very nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  I spent a lot of time in particular with the oranatangs!  They're fun!
