SeaWorld San Antonio Discussion Thread

So is there proof this will be an Intamin? I'm almost certain this will be a Mack.

 

Hahaha, it's Intamin... Mack doesn't even have a motobike style coaster line (like Intamin, Zamperla, or Vekoma). If you're saying Mack because SeaWorld has recently worked with Mack (all the JTA's, Cobra's Curse, Manta), I'll point out that they've also worked with Intamin (Cheetah Hunt, Falcon's Fury). They've also worked with B&M, Premier, GCI, Zierer, and Moser in the past 5 years as well...

Just found this fact sheet over at Texas Thrill Seekers Facebook. Confirms Intamin!!!

Awesome! Really happy for all of you guys in the US for getting this ride. The Intamin jetski/ATV-coaster is seriously one of the absolute best family-thrill coaster there is!

[SharkTums]

This is an awesome addition for the park! Honestly, this coaster should have been put in to Orlando instead of Mako. You guys now have two, major, 48" height requirement rides and Orlando has none.

 

Can't wait to come out and ride this!

^Yeah, well San Antonio doesn't have Wild Arctic, so advantage Orlando................................(said no one ever).

If Wave Breaker is a big hit, hopefully it will make it's way out to Orlando. SWO can be tough for families with small children as all three of the major coasters have 54" height requirements.

Looks like a great addition and a very clever marketing move by Sea World. Still hoping to get down to Texas in the RV next year to hit up all the parks down there!

That is honestly exactly why I said that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love the placement over the lake.

There's nothing wrong with having a excuse to go back to Sea World.

[LiftThrill]

Now I'll actually have a reason to go. I live about a half hour away but have never been. Can't wait!

So Steel Eel wasn't enough of a reason to go to a park 30 minutes away but a family coaster is? Also the animals alone are enough of a reason to go to Sea World.

[LiftThrill]

I've been wanting to go for quite a while but haven't had the money or a valid excuse over SFFT (where I have a season pass) or ZDT's (which is super cheap). If I had the choice I would have been to SWSA already, but with the addition of a new coaster it pushes it over the edge. Many of my park buddies are Blackfish weirdos but will probably ignore that for a unique coaster type only a half hour away.

You need better friends.

Sadly true.

I have some buddies like that too but it doesn't stop me from visiting on my own.

I have a season pass to SWSA only for Steel Eel tbh. It's a lot of fun!

Aquatica isn't bad either!

[johnnyknottsville]

Yay for Intamin and those hills and drops after the launches looks awesome also love that it looks to be almost entirely over water

Whoa -- really? I hadn't done much research into SWO, so if that's the case, I'll definitely be saving the trip there for several years down the line. The big kid's just barely scraping onto 48" rides at the moment. Sounds like if we want to do a SeaWorld in the near future, this will be the one to hit!

[SharkTums]

^Yup. Orlando has three big 54" B&M's, a kiddie coaster, and a water coaster (that's 42" I believe). A 48" coaster would be AWESOME in Orlando. Hopefully we'll get a clone of this ride in a few years.

[Hilltopper39]

^Yeah, I feel like Cobra's Curse and Mako went to the wrong parks in a way. Then again this wave rescue jet ski coaster might be a better addition to Seaworld in the future than the Mack spinner anyways.
