Hey Thrill Seekers,
With all the 3D motion rides becoming the vogue its sooooo refreshing to see someone investing in a proper Roller Coaster…. and by all accounts MAKO is a proper Coaster! When you tell me that it will be the longest, tallest and faster coaster in Orlando then you can pretty much just take my money… I’m not only in, I’m super excited…
So SeaWorld must be aware of this because they sent us some images last night, firstly some concept art (which I shared on facebook) which depicts the mighty Mako Shark rampaging through SeaWorld.
Plus some images of the construction, which show that the Coaster is definitely on course for a Summer launch.
Mako will be the centrepiece of the newly themed surrounding realm. The plaza will be fully shark themed and include Shark Encounter, Sharks Underwater Grill, shops and educational experiences.
Here’s what SeaWorld say about MAKO
Sink your teeth into SeaWorld’s unrivaled new coaster, Mako™. Named for one of the ocean’s fastest known sharks, Mako will be Orlando’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster. Surfacing summer 2016, this 200-foot-tall hyper coaster will reach 73 mph along 4,760 feet of steel track — nearly a mile long — and leave riders feeling both breathless and weightless. Scream through the deep dives with unmatched speed and predator power. Fly through the air with the grace and agility of the ocean’s apex predator. You’re not just riding another coaster, you’re about to understand the thrill of the hunt.
This ride isn’t for the feint hearted as the minimum ride height is 4 foot 5 Inches (54″), featuring a 2oo foot drop with only a lap bar to hold you in….
Eeeeeekkkk….I…..CANNOT….WAIT!!!!
Smiles included…
Jamie
