New Coaster

[cheezbat]

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

I'm hoping so...they're far more reliable than Intamin hypers and far more comfortable than Morgan hypers...I don't know how I feel about Mack or Premier or Vekoma trying hypers either.

What's really exciting is that B&M is experimenting with launches again.

Intamin has caused too many headaches in Central Florida with Cheetah Hunt and Falcon's Fury. SeaWorld Orlando needs something that will definitely be running on opening day and B&M has a great track record with reliability.

What's really exciting is that B&M is experimenting with launches again.

B&M was not involved with the launch on The Incredible Hulk and disliked the idea. I doubt we'd see a launched coaster due to the costs, but their getting into launches would really help any potential rebuilding of The Incredible Hulk.

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

They're touting it as being the tallest in Orlando. Despite what some people like to think, Busch Gardens Tampa is indeed in Tampa, not Orlando.

The Orlando tourism market is often enough stretched from Tampa to Port Canaveral. Besides, SeaWorld Orlando is not even in Orlando.

The yellow area, which SeaWorld Orlando is in, is unincorporated Orange County. The city limits are the big white blob mostly in the middle-ish area.

I cant wait to see the full details on what their plans are for this. Wonder when in May it will be announced

I've received a few questions about the layout.
Excuse my crude Paint skills...

That's as close as I could draw it without just posting the plan.

 

[jaycob]

Lee,will this be the same manufacturer as the 2016 Busch coaster?

Nice skills there. Looks great
Post the plans, post the plans lol
So looks like the coaster is going to go out on the main pathway in front of sharks too. Thanks so much for sharing what you know

No idea.

 

[Mr_Incredible]

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.

You might've been there when I was! I won a contest for Carowinds as their Thrill Caster! I've been there a bunch, I love that stinkin ride!!!!

From the permit it will be 201'

 

[lazyboy97o]

One foot is all you need.

Is the permit located somewhere? I have looked online and have not seen it. Would love to see a copy of it

Sorry permit APPLICATION but no reason to think it will not be granted.

Shark Themed?

Shark Themed?

I'd be willing to bet they'll end up calling it "Great White" so that they can sell the same merch in multiple parks.
