this is all just plain silly arguing over which coaster is better mostly for those who have never ridden either one of them. From the videos they both look like a lot of fun. I’m sure that they both have unique things to offer but I agree with person who said you can’t really post anything unless you have ridden both of them. I’m going to Busch Gardens Europe soon and am really looking forward to it. I’m really excited to try out the Griffon. Someday I definitely want to ride Sheikra it looks amazing!!! I was much more impressed with Sheikra’s theming than Griffon’s though when I watched the videos of both.

Dude you can't say a coaster sucks just because you havent ridden it. Trust me ive ridden both rides and griffon kills sheikra. Griffon is taller and faster. The griffon trains look so much cooler than the sheikra train. Griffon's trains hold 10 people per row, sheikra only holds 8. plus griffo has an extra immmelman loop and it fits with the terrain vs sheikra's flat ground setting. Griffon wins

Griffon does not suck. If you ridden it then you can say something about it. I personally like the griffon better and ive ridden both coasters. Griffon is just more powerful than sheikra.

Oh dear, well where can I start, the lift goes up, same. But, Griffon is 205 FT and SheiKra 200. SheiKra is a 180 degree turnaround griffon is less, 120 I believe, then the drops are 205 and 195 respectively, one has a 145 FT immelmann and one has a 165 FT, SheiKra having the larger, then both have different layouts to the MCBR, then Griffon has a smaller exposed 2nd drop into a second, smaller immelmann, while SheiKra's is enclosed into another banked 180 into a splashdown, Griffon's is after the immelmann, then SheiKra has a small helix and brakes while Griffon has an airtime hill and then brakes. So there. Perfect "clones".

The truth is that I did not ride any of them but I think sheiKra is better than griffon because of the stop before the drop

i can't believe you picked griffon over sheikra because if you actually pay attention to the drop when riding both of there heights are lies and plus sheikra's drop is longer sheikra is actually 190 ft tall and griffon is actually 185 ft tall and if you look down before the drop the the buildings have a larger distance from the top of sheikra than the top of griffon
