Well, I wonder if "Jet Rescue" is counted as one of Moto Coasters among enthusiasts.

It's very likely to be more of a family ride, so I doubt we'll see anything Flying Aces sized. I'm hoping it is a little more similar to Juvelen at Djurs Sommerland (http://rcdb.com/11058.htm) as Jet Rescue looks like a short ride even by family coaster standards, but either way it should be a good fit for the park. Hopefully we know more in the next couple months so that I can decide whether to go to San Antonio this fall as planned or delay my trip until next year.

Well at first I thought that a jet ski would mean a parasailing + bungy jump attraction.

Now all we need is the layout we have the entrance.

I'm sure the concept artist has a great understanding of structural engineering and knows exactly how far apart the supports should be. lol

Looks like the ride will have a layout around a (small) square. I think this coaster will be really nice to watch (and ride of course)!

looks like it will be similar to a motorcycle coaster (like Velocity at Flamingo Land).

My guess is that the original title of this topic had San Diego in it, but was quickly corrected.

Yeah I misread it sorry lol

Looks like we got something being announced Monday, guys!

I hope its not the same ocean explorer my Seaworld is getting. If its something big, i might be moving to San Antonio this year.

An Intamin Jet Ski would be a great addition!

[mkingy]

Agreed, those rollercoaster look like a tonne of fun!

Looks like we could get another coaster for 2017!

[Paradox]

Looks like the announcement was moved to tomorrow



EDIT: This picture was revealed. The ride will be called Wave Rider: The Rescue Coaster

The announcement happened! The ride looks a lot like Juvelen!

Wave Breaker: The Rescue CoasterTM Jets into SeaWorld?? San Antonio

Double-launch, jet ski-inspired coaster based on marine animal rescue missions will be the first of its kind in North America, Debuting Summer 2017

SAN ANTONIO (September 27, 2016) ??? Race into action on a new generation of coaster that combines the thrill of the sea with the adrenaline rush of a roller coaster in ways never before seen or experienced. Coming to SeaWorld San Antonio in summer 2017, Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster will enable riders to feel what it???s like to race alongside SeaWorld???s heroic animal care team and veterinarians as they spring into action at a moment???s notice to help rescue animals in distress.

???The new coaster promises a ride of a lifetime that???s also unique to SeaWorld???s mission,??? said SeaWorld San Antonio Park President Carl Lum. ???Replicating an adventure limited to only a few trained professionals, Wave Breaker will launch riders into an exhilarating experience similar to going on an animal rescue mission. The coaster is sure to thrill, but also brings awareness to the brave efforts of our animal teams as they join forces with organizations around the world to help ill, injured, orphaned and abandoned animals.???

Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster boasts a variety of features inspired by the reality of jet skiing across a body of water. The unique jet ski-style car design is the first such coaster design in North America and engages riders in a straddled seating position. The design will allow riders to lean into a series of banked and serpentine turns, and grip the handle bars as they race over air time humps and a pair of high acceleration launches. Reaching heights of up to 61-feet, the majority of the coaster???s 2,600-foot track will be directly over water, creating the sensation that riders are racing across the park???s Ski Lake. With a minimum height requirement of 48???, Wave Breaker promises to be a dynamic coaster experience for the whole family.

???Inspired by our guests??? ongoing requests to learn more about how they can help support animal rescue efforts, each ride begins by telling the story of a rescue mission and invites guests to become personally involved in helping to protect animals,??? adds Lum. ???Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster will definitely be a thrilling ride, but we also hope it brings riders on a journey of discovery, as together we work to protect the wild wonders of our world.???

Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster marks a major addition to SeaWorld San Antonio???s coaster portfolio. With the addition of Wave Breaker, SeaWorld San Antonio will feature four coaster experiences, spanning a range of ages and thrills Wave Breaker joins:
1. The Great White?? - a floorless steel rollercoaster challenges riders to 360-degree flips, breathtaking loops, corkscrews and thrilling curves at speeds of up to 50 mph

2. Steel Eel?? - a true hypercoaster featuring a 15-story vertical drop, followed by a series of camelbacks giving riders periods of weightlessness

3. Shamu Express?? - a junior-sized coaster perfect for families with younger children
