The story of Air Grover
Before the 2010 season, Busch Gardens announced a new junior coaster for its family area, intended to allow parents and children to ride together. amusementtoday.com· coaster101.com
Air Grover opened to visitors on March 27, 2010, as part of the park’s newly developed children’s district. coasterpedia.net· bgthistory.com
The finished steel circuit was planned around small drops and twisting turns, giving younger passengers a proper introduction to the railway without the severe features of the park’s larger coasters. coaster101.com· coasterpedia.net
A tire-propelled lift carries the single train to the top, a modest piece of engineering that keeps the ride compact while giving the journey its agreeable sense of occasion. coasterpedia.net
