Guess what coaster opens June 10th?!?!?!?

 

[Pyrozooka0]

Get hyped or get out!

[RAWKIN_coaster38]

^Awesome! June 10th looks to be a Friday so if I am working in Florida this summer, that would be one of my days off!

 

Anyone planning on attending opening day?

[snoflake15]

So May 19th is going to be too early?

[BenBlom]

Man... i'm coming the 27th of May. I'm hoping on a soft opening....

 

If not, i will just ride Manta & Kraken more

I keep coming here to score pictures of this awesome looking coaster, but I keep leaving empty handed.

That's because not much has changed from this last update: http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1681026#p1681026

 

Rumors are that it will begin testing at night any day now but until we hear that not too much more to report.

[prozach626]

Thanks. I must have missed that somehow. I think this might be my favorite *looking* coaster of 2016 so far, but I'm a sucker for the highly criticized B&M hypers.

I am too Prozach! They’re just plain fun to me. We seriously need more photos in this thread though... This ride is too gorgeous!

[chickenbowl]

Looking really good!

Looks like a solid B&M hyper!!!!

[chargersmichael]

WOW! That looks really fast too!

 

Ahh so excited to get to ride Mako this summer!

[RyanTPM]

Looks good for the first test run, or one of them. Seems to have some good pacing to it, not too slow.

[Senator Kinzel]

Here's a bunch of multi-angle shots of Mako's first testing by Dan and the gang at Mako Madness:

This roller coaster looks fun.

[coasterbill]

Awww wook at the cute widdle 7 caw twains. <3

 

In all seriousness this has some nice pacing after the hammerhead. I'm really looking forward to riding it. I think we'll just miss it this year but we go to Sea World about once a year so it won't be too long.

[BlahBlahson]

Not gonna lie, Hill 3 looks like it has some very good airtime. Overall looks like a speedy test run and makes me happy.

[thrillseeker4552]

Looks great! I love the little 7-car trains! Smallest of any B&M Hyper I believe.

[B&MIntaminGCI]

And if first test runs are generally slow, it'll speed up even more, hopefully the trim doesn't impact the second airtime hill too much, because this is flying already.

[willh51]

Zoom! Looks awesome. I know they'll end up turning up that midcourse but it looks crazy dipping down to the left so quickly. Looks like a winner!

[I love pie]

This is only a test run, and it looks so fast. I wonder how fast it will be when the wheels have broken in.

[gerstlaueringvar]

So much faster than all the other B&M hypers!

[Password121]

So much faster than all the other B&M hypers!

Agreed. Nitro gives some solid floater air and looks way... way slower off-ride. It looks like it takes these large hills at a similar clip to Fury's hill before the helix.

[coasterbill]

I don't want to be that guy but there's a trim before the airtime hill after the hammerhead when the ride really gets good and it doesn't look like it's on yet.

[DoinItForTheFame]

Mako has such a beautiful roar!!!
