Trains
Cheetah Hunt owns five trains with four cars each. Four people (two rows of two people) can be seated in each car. The passengers must be at least 1.22 m tall to be allowed to ride.
inspiration
The roller coaster and its track are inspired by the cheetah's hunting behavior. Cheetahs are the fastest game animals in the world and can reach speeds of up to 110 km / h. But this for just 400 m. The "Cheetah Hunt" roller coaster was constructed according to this: The approx. 1400 m long route is divided into three sections, each with a launch (launch area). At the second launch, in which the train reaches a top speed of approx. 100 km / h, it is just below the cheetah's hunting speed.
Theming
The $ 20 million complex is modeled on an Egyptian landscape with ruins and canyons. In addition to the roller coaster, a cheetah enclosure with 14 young animals was set up. The cheetahs can be observed by visitors through panoramic glass windows.
