While a flaming liberal, I am sad to see SeaWorld get out of the animal business. They do a tremendous amount of good work rehabing a plethora of species.

The local beach patrol can deliver the injured manatees and oil soaked water foul to PETA's front door from now on.

Heh...as if PETA does a great job with abandoned animals.

If the Polercoasteg is built then you just add in "freestanding" and it all stays the same. Sort of like how Falcon's Fury is the world's tallest freestanding drop ride.

It needs some intermidiate rides. It's kiddie or thrill with little in between. I'd think about enclosing the play structure and make it climate controlled, revamp the kid area (More shading as well) with new rides and add a few of those intermidiates.

Where'd you get the ride stats? I was hoping this thing would be over 5,000 feet long since we don't have a single coaster here in Florida over that...of course, 200 feet tall is nice too...

I went to Carowinds last week. The new coaster (Fury 325) is awesome! It's so smooth and well designed. Lots of good zero-g spots throughout. That'd be great if SeaWorld got something like that.

So your one of the ones who didn't get stuck

. There seems to be some weird issues with the sensors on the lift hill. Trains have gotten stuck on the lift hill multiple times call for sensor/system resets.

It's a very long coaster. I was surprised at the length and where it travels. Even for an out and back.

I just hope it can stand on its own and offer what Kracken can't. The potential lack of inversions may help it stand by itself.

B&M seems to be on a roll with their recent hyper coasters.

I heard it was just a bit over 4,400 feet long...that's not very long for a hypercoaster. Could that number be wrong?
Magnum XL 200 is over 5,000 feet, Raging Bull is over 5,000, Intimidator is over 5,000....over 5,000 seems to be common on hypercoasters.

I've not seen figures. From what I've seen 4500ft seems about right. There again, this length is acceptable it seems for a Hyper. Goliath springs to mind.

Kraken is kind of boring to me. The filled box and the lack of themeing make me very ambivalent to the ride. For a longish coaster Cheetah Hunt seems to fit the right amount of balance for stuff to look at.

Well, it has been officially confirmed as a 200' Hyper. But the big money is still on B&M as the manufacturer.

To really grab the title of tallest it will have to beat 200' as SheiKra is that tall.

Yes, very lucky. It ran all day with no issues the day I was there. I saw on the news the very next day it had gotten stuck on the hill again.
