Busch Garden's New Ride Tigris

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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
