Re: Rumored B&M for Sea World Orlando

Absolutely stunning! I'm loving the aesthetic Sea World have been going for as of late, the colour scheme is so enjoyable and gorgeous and finally a beastly coaster for Orlando! Sea World are bringing the coaster game in a big way, so glad they've finally managed to see sense and present something that raws attention away from BlackFishGate.

It looks so good. If it looks even half as good as that concept art it'll be stunning. I loved SeaWorld anyway, Manta and Kraken are excellent coasters, this really will up their game even more. Yet more reason to return!

YES! Someone hold me. A perfect choice for the park. Just hope Mako has a good interaction with water.

From the layout perspective (a photo in which I cant copy damnit), it is completely over water minus the initial bits and the near end.

<3 Fingers crossed it will resemble the newer hypers/gigas/whatever and include ground hugging (or water hugging in this case) elements as well as larger hills. Wunderbar!

Greetings Coaster Force community!

This looks absolutely incredible. Raging Bull and Diamondback were two outstanding rides when I rode back a few years ago. Very excited for this to come to my home park!

I'm very happy a large airtime-focused coaster is finally going to be built in Florida. The layout appears to be fairly typical of a standard B&M hyper, but the setting and theming could help to make it slightly better than most others. Sea World is going to have a rather exceptional trio of coasters when this opens.

The theming and location will make this ride, the coaster itself look rather dull.

Definitely looks like a crowd pleaser :) Hope it works out well for SWO!

On the one hand I personally find the layout dull-ish (if we're looking at regular B&M floater, which we probably are). But then again it will be the first major airtime focused ride in Florida, which definitely will make it stick out!

I think the layout looks OK. I'm more impressed by the fab artwork. I can see it fitting in with the rest of the park really well.

Next year is looking like a bumper year for Orlando (Busch just made a hint at an announcement for their spinning cred).

LOOK AT IT. SUCH AHHHH SO GOOD.

The projected pov in the video looks fab, I can literally feel myself coming out of my seat over the airtime hills.

Boo! They missed a trick. It's very Silver Star but shorter. Back to comfort eating then :(

Re: SeaWorld | Mako | B&M Hyper Coaster

Love the look of this! I doubt it'll be one of the better hypers (though I thought the same of Behemoth and soundly ate my words there) but it's the perfect addition to Central Florida. What you can see in the animation also shows a zero car that looks like it was done in a similar style to Cheetah Hunt's, so this might have a really cool train as well. It'll have great surroundings, knowing Seaworld, not sure about the rest of the ride. I feel like whether or not this is received well by enthusiasts is going to hang entirely on whether or not they can get enough Behemoth-esque ridiculous airtime out of that layout. Because the animation (which isn't the greatest source of accuracy, I know) doesn't exactly portray an airtime machine like some of the higher rated ones.

I find it interesting it's a first gen as well. My guess is that the ride experience is going to be most comparable to Apollo.
