chickenbowl Posted January 5, 2016 Posted January 5, 2016 On-ride audio was at one point rumored for Mako, so it could be something as simple as that. They have a Mako preview set up in the Sharks exhibit and the video playing there has some really cool music that certainly sounds like it was produced specifically for the video for this attraction. I know nothing about that industry and how stuff like that gets produced (or how much it cost) but I wouldn't be surprised if that audio were used on the ride as well. I thought on-board audio was already announced when they announced the ride. From the press-release: "Sound system: A 48,000-watt, intelligent surround-sound system envelops the realm. Sounds follow the coaster trains as they dive through and around the area … and just over guests’ heads." Sounds to me like there will be speakers on paths around the coaster track that line up music with dispatched trains.

I love pie Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 [twitter] [/twitter] What does this have to do with SWO? This is the final product of the puzzle. There is no release date.
SFOGdude25 Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 ^Methinks there are 3 more photos to be revealed before the puzzle is really complete.
KarlaKoaster Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 What a great idea to do the Instagram tiles. Apparently there were only 9 posts/tiles, but I guess they could be throwing a red herring (sorrynotsorry for the accidental fish reference)
I love pie Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 ^ba dum ta sss Also Mako has been topped off! Here is a screenshot from Dan's video showing how tall it looks next to kraken, and how steep the lift hill is.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 [twitter] [/twitter] So glad to see this finally topped off. I still LOVE the colors of this coaster.
Nitro1118 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Yes indeed, the colora of this and Kraken together, along with the location looks amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product and someday evebtually ride it.
jedimaster1227 Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Driving down I-4 this morning, it was great to see Mako topped off. It has a little bit of extra height over Kraken's lift hill but the two of them right next to each other (and with Ihu's Breakaway Falls at Aquatica in view) draws your attention towards SeaWorld when driving, which I'm sure was very much a part of their intention with the ride's design choice.
robbalvey Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Mako has been topped off! At 200 feet tall, Mako will be the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in Orlando when it opens in 2016!
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Mako has been topped off! At 200 feet tall, Mako will be the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in Orlando when it opens in 2016! This. Photo. Is. Beautiful. I absolutely love this coaster already. Can't wait to ride it!!
cfc Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Looking good, SeaWorld! I'll definitely be checking this ride out sometime later this year.
RyanTPM Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Still loving the color scheme, great to see it topped out
cfc Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 ^Same here--Mako's colors fit in well with the color scheme of the entire park.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Maybe it's just me... but I really like how the MCBR goes through the supports for the lift hill. It's going to create some awesome visuals.
coasterfreak11 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Anyone have a general idea of when this might soft open? Around March?
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Anyone have a general idea of when this might soft open? Around March? I'd expect late April or early to mid may.
nswain1110 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Ughhh I can't wait to ride this in the summer!! Coming for you SWO and BGT!!!
BBparks57 Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 I'm really liking the look of this coaster so far, along with the color scheme. I think it's a really nice addition. If I remember correctly, Manta's soft opening was very early May (like first week of may), so I'd say that guess is accurate. Just happy to see more coasters in the Orlando area!
jray21 Posted January 9, 2016 Posted January 9, 2016 Cool video! I don't know how those guys can work that high.
DoinItForTheFame Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I don't know how those guys can work that high. Same here. I got stressed out just watching the video, I can not imagine what it is like to actually dangle off the track 200 ft above the ground with a few straps holding me up. No thank you. But glad they have the ability to do it so we can enjoy awesome coasters!!
Guy T. Koepp Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 I love working at height! Some of my favorite sets have been doing mapping while on top of tall buildings. Heights don't bother me at all.
Jcoaster Posted January 10, 2016 Posted January 10, 2016 As always Busch parks give us a visually stellar looking coaster.
bbomser Posted January 11, 2016 Posted January 11, 2016 I love working at height! Some of my favorite sets have been doing mapping while on top of tall buildings. Heights don't bother me at all. Translation: Guy loves to get high!
