Naming[edit | edit source]
The ride was originally going to be named "Cheetaka", but the name was scrapped, and "Cheetah Hunt" became the ride's official name.
History[edit | edit source]
In 2010, before the ride was officially announced, Busch Gardens began to release teaser videos. Each video contained a small, computer generated part of the ride. Each one would have a different part of the ride. After five videos, the ride was officially announced by the current park president, Jim Dean. The ride was completed in 2011.
