Busch Garden has announced that they will be building a new roller coaster "Tigris." It will be Florida's tallest launch roller coaster.

The tiger-themed coaster Tigris will catapult riders 150 feet skyward and through an array of looping twists with forward and backward motion, an inverted heartline roll, all at more than 60 miles per hour.

The new triple-launch steel roller coaster will be tiger-themed, hence the name Tigris. According to Tampa Bay Times, "Tigris will catapult riders 150 feet skyward and through an array of looping twists with forward and backward motion, an inverted heartline roll, all at more than 60 miles per hour."

Tigris will serve as a betterment of the park before its 60th birthday.

Busch Gardens president Stewart Clark said, "It will only be the bravest members [who will ride]."

Tigris will also help increase tourism in the Tampa Bay area.

Along with this ride, another ride will be introduced to the Gwazi area in 2020. First, they have to tear down the old wooden roller coaster.

Tigris will become Busch Garden's ninth roller coaster, making Busch Garden that much more of a competitor against Six Flags. If the 2020 ride is also a roller coaster, Busch Gardens will join the top 15 parks in the world with the most amount of roller coasters. Talk about a big deal.

The height requirement for this ride is 54 inches, so make sure to wear that extra pair of socks if you're just too short!!

So, who's ready to #TakeOnTigris? I know I am.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
