SeaWorld San Antonio | Catapult Falls | Launched Flume Ride | 2023

Maybe we could have a mirrored thread... So that it appears (and updates) in both categories

Sorry, I don't think there's an "Evil Twin" option in the admin tools.

Wow, Universal ever more blurring the lines between roller coaster and log flume.

A launched log flume... How weird, but also I'm obsessed.

Forgot to post this for anyone interested in what Sandor had to say about the ride, as well as Arctic Rescue and DarKoaster.

Thrills are on the rise! Check out... - SeaWorld San Antonio

Thrills are on the rise! Check out the Catapult Falls construction 👀 Can you guess how high the lift and drop will be?

The boat was unveiled a few days ago.



Final drop is looking great.

I completely forgot that this project existed...

Testing has begun!

 

[Niles]

Here is some testing footage of the main drop.

And follow the link below to watch the launch test, I'm not sure what I was expecting but you seem to get wet during the launch and it looks like a pretty mild launch at that. I though it would launch you at speed into the airtime hill then you hit the splash down.

I hope this isn't another Intamin maintenance disaster lol

 

[Crazycoaster]

There’s quite a few weird and wacky Intamin water rides under construction at the minute and it all gives me anxiety cuz of their track record with water rides.

So do we consider this a cred or not?

So do we consider this a cred or not?

When you count flumes it is YES, but when you count coasters it is NO.

 

[#BringBackWindstorm]

Still, no update as of today on when the ride will open completely. Maybe end of July perhaps?
