World's Tallest Dive Coaster


The Griffon is the hottest new roller coaster in Busch Gardens, this extreme coaster takes riders up 205 feet then drops them 90 degrees straight down at 75 mph. And that's just the beginning. Griffon evokes the power and speed of a mythical bird that is part eagle and part lion. It plunges, twists and turns - giving riders an adrenaline-pumping adventure that's unlike any coaster experience in the world.

    I believe I would have to be at least 20 years younger to consider riding this coaster and I would probably still close my eyes:)
