SeaWorld Orlando To Get A New Roller Coaster Called Mako

Weren't they just broke

I'm thinking it might be a prototype

(and im basing that on nothing, the same way i base almost all my theories on nothing)

Deere please that is like the 10th time you have said that on this thread alone.

I'm excited that Sea World is getting a hyper coaster, but please don't keep replying with the same pipe dream coaster idea.

^sorry then just so excited and with construction this long

I'm going to go against the grain and say all wacky dreams are welcome. No one saw a Launched B&M Wing Coaster coming, and now, I'm a happy home park camper! Anything is possible.

^yup. Unless it's your 500ft wooden 5D Aquatrax. Then, no.

[Paradox]

One year is still a very reasonable time to build a hyper coaster, but Fury went up extremely fast.

^Yeah, it was started pretty late, and opened far before anything else this year; and it happens to be the tallest and longest giga ever built, far more demanding than other projects that started earlier. Very impressive, the fact that they started construction in Sept/Oct and finished it by Feb/March. Only seven months maximum! Since there is no winter in Florida (be thankful for that), it should go up rather quickly. WC went up incredibly fast, not as fast as Fury 325 but that was because of the harsh winter we had/have. (it still doesn't feel like spring in the North East!)

[Paradox]

^Fury is not the longest Giga because then it would be the longest coaster in the world, which it isn't because SD2000 is longer.

hoping to go Saturday and get some photos of the construction markers

^ That's what we like to call, a construction tour!

its not much construction starts june 1st and ends around may 31

sorry for the double post but announcement day is may 27

Where are you getting these announcement dates deere?

^It's confirmed, as the park announced it, and it's on Screamscape too.

Anyone think it could possibly be an Intamin? I guess it's not impossible because they worked with Intamin a few years ago on Cheetah Hunt, though I still think it's most likely a B&M.

^Intamin is possible, but not the most likely

From a trademark filed, it appears that we have a name: Mako
This could very well indicate the theme of it as well, SHARKS!

What does MAKO mean? Is that really shark themed?

[Metazoanhaddock]

it's a species of shark

^ Oh I got it. Checked out its etymology too. Interesting the name came from one Maori word.

[Paradox]

I really wanted them to build "Shamu the Ride" and make the ride black with white highlights.


PETA would probably make them take it down so it isn't "oppressive" to animals.



Damn liberals.

No one listenz to bullshit peta

Mako would be an interesting name for the coaster, but I'm not completely convinced that it's going to be the official name yet because they could pull another Cheetaka/Diavolo on us.

Oh they did the damn thang.
