Re: Rumored B&M for Sea World Orlando
Amazing!
With this and Manta they'll have the best coaster selection in Orlando (not that that's overly hard tbh).
I hope it's a plain B&M Hyper cause they're the best ride type ever, but I could be down for a launch.
The park is still a hole but yay!

Re: Rumored B&M for Sea World Orlando
Diamondback is a hyper and goes 80 mph, so a normal Lift-hill hyper is very plausible. I just hope I can go to SeaWorld next time I go to Florida!
EDIT: Just a head's up, the park never specified any manufacturer. This could still very well be a Mack or an Intamin. But i'm sticking with the guess of a B&M Hyper.

After all the issues Busch had with both Cheetah Hunt AND Falcons Fury... I doubt its gonna be an Intamin ride. (Just see how well their partnership with Vekoma went after Rhino Rally was built (lolol))

It's been a good week for coaster news. Two buses coming along at once and all that!

Yes, yes, and yes! I never thought I'd see the day! About time SeaWord got something worth returning.

Re: Rumored B&M for Sea World Orlando
SeaWorld has trademarked the names Reef Hunter and Strikewinder. One of these might be the Hyper. The other could be the spinner at BGT. My guess is:
Reef Hunter- Hyper
Strikewinder- Spinner

Re: Rumored B&M for Sea World Orlando
I'm led to believe this might be a Mack Rides launched coaster. Think SWSD Manta meets Blue Fire Megacoaster meets Helix, but 200ft tall. As for the name, they filed for the trademark "MAKO" a week or so ago. With the social media campaign #NothingFaster, and since Mako is the fastest species of Shark, that's the #1 option IMO.

Re: Rumored B&M for Sea World Orlando
I'd put my money on Mako being the name for our B&M. Reef Hunter sounds like a dark shooter (probs for another Seaworld park) as some have mentioned (maybe they liked what Triotech did for Cedar Fair and decided to get in on it). Strikewinder does sound like a name for a spinner in BGT's Egyptian section, but the park has Sand Serpent already so that makes me a smidge skeptical.
I always thought the Manta brand used for the flyer and Mack would work well on a B&M hyper with a splashdown, so something similar done with Mako would be great.

That's not what I meant. A cobra-themed coaster at SeaWorld is far more unlikely to happen, that at Busch Gardens.

Not even a real fish went that fast...
I'm going to place my money on Mako for the Hyper now.
