About Cheetah Chase

Formerly the Wild Maus of Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay’s Cheetah Chase is perfect for a child’s first coaster experience. The whole family can enjoy the curves, drops and corkscrews of this traditional “wild mouse” coaster. The 1,200 feet of track tops out at a speed of 22 mph and is perfect for a child’s first coaster experience. The five-story family coaster makes its home in the exotic Timbuktu area next to Pirates 4-D. -- Last edited by Justin Kermgard

a pretty good ride. not the best in the park by far, but a good family roller coaster. not worth a long wait, though. i found it pretty enjoyable. - Jake Gould

6/10. A little lame. But the turns are cool. - Nicholas Gammon

This is a standard wild mouse coaster, and I don't think it fits very well in the theme of the park, but it serves as a family coaster where the park had none. It is rough and small and boring though and it is also my least favorite wild mouse I've been on. - Patrick Gorham

I think of Cheetah Chase as a very.. fast jerky ride like the whirl one at Animal Kingdom. But this one is much faster. They also take a picture of you on the second drop so be ready :) - Katie G-Desjardins

This is a great family coaster. The whole family had fun. - Erik Cobbs
