Busch Gardens Europe: What a Dive!
New Griffon Coaster Debuts in 2007

Tuesday September 5, 2006
Busch Gardens Africa in Tampa, Florida introduced North America's first diving coaster, SheiKra, in 2005. For the 2007 season, Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, Virginia will get its own diving coaster, Griffon. As the name implies, diving coasters climb a lift hill, momentarily hang precariously at the top, and then dive 90 degrees (that's straight down folks). Griffon will deliver the world's tallest dive drop. Read more about the exciting new coaster.
