Hate to be the one to ask, but Fury developed a rattle it's first season... Do you think Mako will get a rattle before the season is over?

 

LOL - Do you think some of the paint will peel off after 2 weeks?

Will one of the seats get dirty after a month?

 

Im sorry but some questions - Really.

[southpuddle]

There must have been some tweaking going on early in the season with Fury, because I am normally a staunch B&M-hyper-hater, and I also thought Fury was without a doubt the best coaster experience of my life. There were points on the ride that legitimately felt out of control, and the airtime was phenomenal. The very same day I could have fallen asleep on Intimidator. Nothing like creeping over airtime hills at 5mph. I'm hoping that Mako's 4-across trains bring out a little bit of that new B&M intensity.

Uhhhh obviously paint is going to chip and seats are going to get dirty, but a rattle in its first year? That's not typical for a B&M. All the new B&M's seem to develop a rattle and I wanted some insight. So yes, really. If you were not going to give the insight I searched for, you did not have to be so sarcastic about it, but I appreciate all opinions! Thank you (: maybe I didn't elaborate. When I said rattle, I did not mean a slight vibration. I meant the train shakes against and the ride is rough. Fury can be smooth, but 70 of my rides have not been. It's not noticeable, but I pay attention to it, so maybe that's why I feel it.

It's physically impossible for a coaster to be smoother than Fury.

I've been on Fury at least 100 times, it isn't butter smooth anymore. Montu and Griffon are though. It's not a rough ride by any means, but it does shake and I'm glad it does. It makes it feel more... Violent. But I'm the type that re rides all day long, so it'll get to me and it will eventually feel rough throughout the day. I just wanted to know if y'all thought Mako would do this.

No. Not even close. I love El Toro but it's not butter smooth. It's smooth but not Fury smooth.

Look, Fury may be smooth, but it will never be Mean Streak smooth.

Very few coasters can ever be as smooth as Mean Streak.

Son Of Beast says "Hi!" By far the smoothest coaster ever made!

Sits quietly and waits for our buddy Bill to chime in that Mean Streak is perfectly fine.....as long as you sit in the front, lean forward, grab an ear with one hand, pat your head with the other, and stick out your tongue. You're the best, coasterbill, but I just don't see Mean Streak as anything but boring and bordering on bone-rattling!

 

Mako looks like a damn great coaster to me! Of course, I don't fall into the enthusiast camp of "everything B&M makes is forceless and lame" camp either!

[michaellynn4]

Nothing is butter smooth like sitting in a giant vat of softened butter.

^Do you speak from experience?

Sorry Bill but

That's a secret that will stay with me and those three Lithuanian immigrants.

[coasterbill]

I read the original post and thought, "Actually Mean Streak is smoother than El Toro if you sit in the front and lean forward, but I won't post that because nobody will believe me and it sounds ridiculous... plus El Toro still sh*ts all over Mean Streak and is still very smooth".

 

You guys are on to me.

[AmericanEagle15]

I know this may be not everyone's cup of tea but I had this in the back of my head ever since Dan of Mako Madness posted a picture on Facebook about The first 500 to sign up will be the first to ride on Mako's Preview day and also judging on what I've received in an email I've received. Would anyone be interested in going to sign up?

Here's the E-mail I received not to long ago

Taken from the Give Kids The World Facebook Page:

 

Calling all thrill-seekers! Support Give Kids The World and be among the first to experience Florida’s tallest, longest – and fastest – new roller coaster.

 

SeaWorld and Give Kids The World Village are auctioning off a ride on SeaWorld’s new 200-foot, 73 mph coaster.

Bidders can choose their seat depending on their desired thrill experience and ride Mako on June 8th, days before the coaster opens to the public.

All auction proceeds will benefit the Village – that’s nothing to shake a fin at.

 

Bid until June 3rd: http://www.32auctions.com/InauguralMakoRide ‪#‎NothingFaster‬ ‪#‎GKTWVillage

[AmericanEagle15]

As much as I would LOVE to donate (I really would!) I have no money to bid anything So that's why I am planning to sign up for the preview day on the 8th by signing up for it, on the 20th, and 21st This month. Was wondering if anyone wanted to go to sign up and spend a day at sea world.

[coasterbill]

That's great, and it's a great cause but since they have a charity / wildlife conservation fund, I'm surprised they chose another charity (though of course, I love the one they chose).

[BenBlom]

Guys, how high is the chance of getting to ride this the 28th of may? Coming from the Netherlands and whole roadtrip is already fixed... Prob. gonna like Seaworld anyway but even more with Mako running

I wouldn't really count on it . . .

[AmericanEagle15]

The earliest that I've seen is June 8th on Mako Preview Day, 2 days before scheduled Opening. That's why I'm trying to form a group to go with.

[rcrider4]

The ride is ready to go, but the station and queue line still need a ton of work, so I wouldn't expect it to open for a while. Maybe softs by end of May, but it's doubtful.
