Air Grover • Busch Gardens Tampa

Rattle Pointless

Doesn't do anything except give a rough ride.

First Drop Too short

Started off the day with the kiddie coaster at BGT and this one surprised me a bit. The first drop had more airtime in the back row compared to any other kiddie coaster I've been on. Is it intense? Not really, but if you are a kid and this is your first ride on a coaster then it's a great starting point to give you a little pop of intensity while you get used to speedier rides. I felt it was a bit short though. Most of these kiddie coasters do at least 2 or 3 laps because of how short they are but this is one of the first ones I've ridden that only completed one circuit. 1.5/5 stars

Smoothness Pointless

It's a good ride for kids I guess

Capacity Rattle Discomfort

Good first coaster for kids. But the seats are small and it was hard to be comfortable.

Location Rattle Pointless

A forceless and kind of rough kiddie coaster so it’s one of the worst I’ve done. However you do get some nice views of Iron Gwazi on the ride so that’s a pro I guess.

Fun Masterpiece Harness Too short Theming

Air Grover is a great ride! It may even be in the top 50 of my 582 credits. Lots say these models are for kids, but I disagree. You get airtime in the back row at some points and sustained positive forces in the valleys. Operations were great as I never waited more than 25 minutes for the ride. One of my BGT visits on a quieter day, they even let me reride. Awesome ride, and one of the best at BGT, 5/5

Smoothness Too short Dead spots Layout

This is a standard layout Zierer force 190 and has been cloned 8 times. That being said this is a very smooth ride with a mild bit of positive force and no airtime. These facts are not at all surprising when you consider this is the park's only true junior coaster. I did not go as low as half a star simply because I did not dislike this coaster, in fact, I found it to be a relaxing albeit forceless ride that allowed me to get a coaster credit that gave me a break from the larger and more insane coasters at the park. Overall Air Grover does what it was intended to do, nothing more, nothing less.

Standard kiddie coaster

Fun Too short Pointless

Since I’m not the target audience, I can confirm it’s kind of boring.

Smoothness Layout Intensity

A great starting coaster for the younger ones, although very tame for most thrillseekers and older guests.

Too short

the whole coaster smelled like stinky diaper.

good kiddie coaster

Fun Airtimes Dead spots

Air Grover is an amazing coaster! However, it lacks airtime and it has multiple dead spots. Kids may love it, but thrill seekers won't. I went on this as a kid because I wanted to, but even now, it's still worth the credit. I also didnt have inversions on this, since it's a junior coaster

in the battle for worst grover coaster...this one is the clear winner. *the grovers are probably great rides for kids bc they're smooth and enjoyable*
