SheiKra, Steel dive coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Florida.
The roller coaster features a 200-foot vertical drop and reaches speeds of 70 miles per hour along its 3,188-foot blue and yellow track.
Opening in 2005, SheiKra pioneered as North America's first dive coaster, later converting to a floorless design in 2007 to enhance rider experience.
The coaster's name derives from a hawk species recognized for its vertical hunting dive, reflecting the ride's primary dropping element design.
Three-car trains accommodate 24 riders in a single row configuration of eight across, with operations running throughout regular park hours.
Riders pause for several seconds at the edge of the 90-degree drop before plunging downward, followed by an Immelmann loop and splash element.
