This ride is amazing! Fast, tall, smooth and fun! One of the few rides that scare me a little still. Best at the park in my opinion!

One of my favourite rides at the park. The 90 degree drop and swirls are great to to get the blood pumping.

Fantastic coaster! Right side - front row is the best seat in the house. There is no track below and you feel like youre flying!

One of the best coasters I have ever ridden. Such a blast

This was one of the best roller coasters at Busch Gardens. Even with the highest drop of 205 it has the smoothest transitions into loops and the smoothest twists and turns. We rode this one multiple times and if not for the wait time tripling we would have rode it again.

Its time for me to go to Griffon so I can really have some fun

As someone who used to be terrified of roller coasters, this thing was a total blast after the initial suspense, and was actually the ride that got me over that fear as a kid.As for whoever dropped us 3 seconds early on the countdown, You are an evil human being and you deserve a promotion for that. I look forward to visiting again sometime once the pandemic blows over! :D

We love Busch Gardens..And The Griffin is our FAVORITE RIDE !!

Id say its the most popular known coaster there. The feeling you get before you drop is priceless and you just hang their while people on the ground watch your soul leave your body.

Fantastic roller coaster! Any seat is great, but the front row adds a little something that you dont get by sitting in the back 2 rows. Very smooth and comfortable. Good even for people who dont normally like roller coasters because it is not very long.

The ride is amazing in the front. I love the announcement that plays when the floor drops. “Now prepare to enjoy the power and speed of the mythical Griffon”. This is my second favorite ride right behind apollos chariot which is my number one favorite. You should ride this it’s amazing. The front has the amazing view while the back has the wonderful jolt while the front has the amazing airtime and view.

Very smooth and has a thrilling, scary drop. You can see the entire park from the top.

Awesome!!!!!!! Dont have anything bad to say about this ride. This is now my all time favorite ride....Smooth and exhilarating...

They had so much fun and went twice. Fast pass worth the money when parks are busy!

I LOVED our stay at the Griffin! Friendly, kind and helpful staff. Our room was amazing. So spacious and roomy. They have the most comfy bed and pillows, I slept great! The patio was wonderful, it was relaxing and peaceful! The grounds are beautiful, I Loved the water fountains and pond! I highly recommend this hotel. I loved everything about it! This hotel has everything you need. From check in to check out everyone is really nice and well shaded which is great for those hot days we had! Access to the shuttle bus was super simple and the grounds were well maintained. There were 4 of us and we chose a room with 2 beds and a sleeper sofa. It wasnt overcrowded and the room was well appointed. The morning lounge is a nice touch!

This was my first coaster ever, and it was amazing! Almost everything is done perfectly, from the 90 degree drop to the splashdown, and it’s beautiful to watch. My one problem was that it was short, however, it was short, smooth, and sweet. Highly recommend this. Also, get the front row, if you don’t believe me, look at the POV’s.

Smooth ride, steep drop, and a good coaster all around. Front row is best.

The Griffon is a very fast and surprisingly smooth coaster. I love the concept of it hanging you on the hill for a few second before you drop down! I also think when the coaster splashes through the water is pretty cool. Although I really enjoy this ride, people with phobias of heights should probably not ride this.

Great ride. The first drop and drop off the mid course are amazing.

Excellent floorless coaster. Go for the front-seat experience for the thrill of being dangled over the top of the first drop for a couple seconds. The ride is smooth as butter.

Very nice ride for a warm up. If it were just a little longer it would be a much better ride. Over All great rollercoaster

My first time at Busch Gardens and Griffon was the first coaster i rode. I have to say that i was impressed. Mainly by the pause before the first drop it really caught me off guard. Thats what i get for not watching it prior to getting on it. I recommend it for sure.

Best ride in the park. Go for the front row for the best experience. Great coaster!

Not a huge coaster enthusiast, but this ride is fun. Smooth breathtaking and doesnt beat you up. One of my favorites at Busch Gardens.

The 8 year old said the he loves the Griffon. He rode it twice. Really fun and exciting. A must ride.

Line looked long but was actually moving very fast. As for the coaster itself the ride is amazing and thrilling but sadly short.

I was peer pressured into going on this ride. Even as someone terrified of large, steep drops on roller coasters, I managed to enjoy myself. The smooth ride and thrills make the wait well worth it.

Wasnt as scary as I thought. Exhilarating! Got to ride it twice! If you ride it, when you get to the top, look out to the left. The view is beautiful!

This roller coaster is awesome. I love it, have been riding it since it opened and always a must while visiting the park. Watch that first drop its a doosie.

Last row, end seat; you won’t regret the experience!

Griffon is an amazing and beautiful drop coaster that even goes above the water. That was great for the lineup and space that Bush Garden had to build on to. Its a rollercoaster not alot of people give credit to this rollercoaster for as much as it deserve. So lines are short so I would suggest riding this many times in the day. Its so fun hanging there looking straight down then suddenly dropping. It will throw you off every time. But its a very important rollercoaster to have in the park and I appreciate it being there.

Griffon was a smooth but scary roller coaster but the Alpengeist. I wouldnt recommend to anyone. Too many loops and spirals it was rough.

Lots to see. Cultural attractions, animals, rollercoasters, food and shows.

Love this ride... panick sets in as you lock your restraints and realise what you just agreed to do and then the stall befor the first drop to remind you just how crazy you are before you take the plung alerts all Of your senses to wake up and prepare to be confused with all of the emotions and excitement that youre about to partake in all at 1 time

This is the ultimate coaster!!!whoot whoot

Fantastic coaster. The crew does a great job of getting the line moving quickly even during non peak hours.

One of the best rollercoasters Ive ever been on amazing!!

Thrill ride, the biggest coaster in the park! I didnt sit in the front row but it does hang you for about three seconds looking straight down the 90° hill.

One of my all-time favorite coasters. Great for anyone looking for a thrill.

The best roller coaster in the park. 205ft drop! Rode at least 10 times. Went to the park on a Friday and Saturday in July. Hardly had to wait on line as well, even for front row. 10 seats to a row. Three rows. Best seat is front row, outside seat at either end. Sitting on the outsides means theres no track under your feet. Amazing experience. Smooth ride!

Good ride, a tad overrated as the ride is over too quickly to properly enjoy.

Great ride. Got in line at about 9pm, and had the 9:30 fireworks starting while i was on my ride.

The best roller coaster at BG !! We all love it.

Great ride one of the best rollercoaster Ive been on

Great thrill that will blow your mind

This coaster ride isnt for the faint hearted. I love it.

Great ride honestly the seats are actually comfy the line for the front moves quickly and the ride itself is a rush, because why else does one ride this.

The ride is a bit short but provides a thrilling experience.

Short and sweet. Rode it twice in a row. Killer drop!

Good thrill for a daredevil.

My favorite rollercoaster in the park, the line can get a bit long but the front row end seats are worth the wait!

Not for wimps but very exhilarating.

Favorite coaster at the park, so smooth! Wait for the front row, its worth it!

Might be my favorite thing at the park. The front seat is worth the wait.

This Ride is BEYOND smooth... Its a Must for ALL THRILL RIDERS!!!

Best ride Ice ever. Got on

Always fun especially when lines arent too long.

I died here. Thankfully i used the totem of undying to reawaken the life inside of my body

This is my absolute favorite roller coaster at least right now. Ive been to most of the big famous amusement parks, and lived near Magic Mountain outside of Los Angeles. The Griffin is by far my favorite ride. It is a cliff-hanging 245 foot straight down smooth as butter. And it seems to move along pretty good even if the line seems long theres a lot of cars you know that move people pretty quickly I think the last time I was there they had at least three or four running simultaneously and thats 10 times 3 so thats 30 people per car.

Thats a wild ride. The anticipation of that first drop is really something when it stops n pause before it drops u.

Griffon is a nice dive machine. Tall, fast, but a bit on the short side as many coasters of this type are. It really does get the adrenaline flowing though, great splashdown section for non-riders to hangout by and watch.

Once in a lifetime experience!

Rode this for the 1st and 2nd time ever on 6/29. First time 2nd row middle, Second time 2nd row end. Couldnt get the kids to get on the front row.Loved looking at nothing between me and the ground just hanging at the top for a few seconds. Must ride for me the next visit.

One of the best rollercoasters ive ever been on.

Awesome ride. We love Busch Gardens

I love this ride!! I rode it last summer and then I fell IN LOVE with it! Griffon is the smoothest ride in the park, next to Apollos Chariot. My dad also says its the best, and my sister loves it, too! I especially love the 90 degree drop. Thanks Busch Gardens for such a great ride. :)

Fun the drop will give you buterflys

The ride was amazing. It is one of the best rides at Bush Gardens.

So much fun and very exciting! We rode this roller coaster again and again!

The best Rollercoaster, hands down

No seat is a bad seat! This is a great ride! The holding brake before the 90 degree first drop certainly adds to the experience. I havent been on any other B&M dive coasters, but this one is probably one of the best.

This is a very nice floorless diving coaster. It is very smooth and not as scary as it looks. The broad rows for seating also make it nice when you have odd numbers in your party. I quite liked it.

I like the ride. If you go to the park after 5pm. The lines are not long as usual.

If you love coasters, then this ride is a must!

An absolutely thrilling ride! My favorite in the whole park!

Ok so Griffon is my FAVORITE!!!! If you love roller coasters then you need to go on it. All the rides are amazing at Busch gardens.

It is scary at first but after you go down the drop it is very fun

OMG! THIS RIDE GETS ME EVERYTIME! Looking for a thrill ride.... Look no further.

Super fun and is one of the best rides

This is easily my favorite coaster ever. Verbolten is a good, solid second place, but nothing can beat the Griffon. You absolutely must sit in the front row the first time you ride this. Trust me, it is absolutely worth the wait. It has a smooth ride, awesome inversions, yet not so many inversions that it gets redundant or even sickening. This is an amazing ride.

It was fun, lost my hat tho

BEST ROLLER COASTER IVE EVER BEEN ON! AT FIRST I WAS GETTING REALLY SCARED GOING UP, BUT THEN WHEN I WENT DOWN THE DROP, I WAS SO HAPPY. THIS RIDE IS AWESOME AND FUN! AMAZING!

I dont care what any park literature says, you have to ride in the front row to truly experience this ride. You may get a similar view from the raised seats in the second and third rows, but the true dangling over the side of the coaster experience is not the same back there as it is in the front. Ive ridden so many times that I know the number of seconds you hang, but it never ever fails to feel like much longer than the actual time, which is pretty impressive. You get some amazing views of the park up there, plus the downward motion and loops are really great ride mechanics. Its also very smooth and fairly comfortable for a roller coaster.

Its great.

Front row is a treat. Smoothest rollarcoaster Ive ever been on. No head or neck pain.

Short but awesome ride.

Im a coaster fan and loved every coaster at Busch Gardens except this one. I got the special seat up front of one of the trains (in the center), where its built for a bigger person. So its wider and the pull down shoulder bar doesnt go as far as the others. Because of this I felt very insecure in the seat. I had enough space between me and the shoulder harness that it made me uneasy. So pay attention to this seat if you get it. I pulled as much as I could down on it, but due to the wider seat and lack of secureness in this seat my experience became a frightening experience.

One of the few rides that introduces new movements without feeling like a test dummy. Great ride!

This has to be the best coaster in the park!!! What a great view and you get to see it quite a bit before you drop. No seat on this coaster is bad definitely a unique coaster!

Was intimidated by this coaster at first bc I dont like drops this steep. Finally decided to check it out and loved it. To get the best out of this ride you have to ride the front on one of the ends and DONT hold on. Itll feel like a freefall on the drop. I felt secure enough in my seat to ride without ever holding on. So much better that way!

Exciting hurt dropping feeling

Amazing Ride. Members at this park and im so glad I get to experience it! No words really, and also it’s butter smooth..!

Very enjoyable ride! Big drops, fast, and polite staff.

This was my first drop coaster and it is definitely on my list for favorite coasters... It also features a floorless design which is cool as hell. Hanging from the top before u drop is incredible... A must try... A 5 star coaster...

Happy family day!

Gives an amazing free fall drop feeling an increased amount of gravity. To make it simple: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

An amazing coaster and offers a smooth ride so you can enjoy the drops.

Best B&M dive in America! Great airtime in both drops.

Say ahh! The view before the drop is worth whatever line youre stuck in.

One of the best rides in the park!
