Canobie Coaster Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 It would have been cool to see it testing, but I missed it by a few days. The ride looks great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Looks like a fun ride! It looks a little bare themeing-wise right now, but I assume that's going to change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COASTER FREAK 11 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I am really excited to ride this. It's a cute, whippy looking ride! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joelwee Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I can’t wait to ride this. It looks like it takes the inversions pretty quickly. A dive coaster with whippy, intense inversions would be just what the doctor ordered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 (edited) Looks like a great coaster. - However, I'm shocked that the station isn't even enclosed?! - I'm hoping that will change soon? I just thought that would be done before testing started... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Edited March 12, 2020 by DoinItForTheFame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsupercity Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Looks like it is not stopping at the holding brake? Once they turn that on I would assume it would slow the ride down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfkk Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 So did we confirm that there is no roof on this station? I'm kind of surprised that California amusement regulation is so anal about everything but gives this a pass. Not that it is any less safe or anything, but just that it seems like something they wouldn't let fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSD confirmed they will have shade structures, but no roof. Similar to Journey to Atlantis and Tidal Twister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSD confirmed they will have shade structures, but no roof. Similar to Journey to Atlantis and Tidal Twister You are right Do people actually like it like that? I just feel like if you are going to spend millions on a roller coaster you should spend a tiny fraction of that to put a roof over the queue, but i guess that how all flat rides are now that i think about it so ok.

Not that it is any less safe or anything, but just that it seems like something they wouldn't let fly. I don't know where this whole "CA amusement regulation is so anal about everything" comes from... California just makes sure parks and traveling rides are following the industry ASTM standards and holding parks accountable to make sure they follow those and all required maintenance as mandated by the manufacturer. Unfortunately those standards only apply to the ride. Parks just have to follow building codes when it comes to station buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 SeaWorld San Diego figured out a way to open! Good for them! No coasters (for now), similar to the Knott's event. https://seaworld.com/san-diego/zoo-days-bayside-bbq-and-brews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pǝʇɹǝʌuı Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 In case anyone didn't hear, SWSD passes will be extended one year from their original expiration date. This is honestly a huge relief for me after spending an entire summer in San Diego and not being able to go to the park once with my season pass. I'm not sure if other Seaworld parks are doing this or not. Here's what the email said: We are pleased to announce that your Annual Pass expiration date will automatically be extended for one year from your original expiration date. No action is needed on your part to activate this extension. For example, if your Annual Pass expired on August 31, 2020, you can now visit as many times as you’d like now through August 31, 2021.

COASTER FREAK 11 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 It's such a fun looking little dive coaster, I can't wait to ride it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Signtech has posted a picture of the Emperor sign on Facebook. ... the park isn't opening for like a year, I know this isn't earth-shattering news but it's something. What do you want from me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 The sign looks nice. It's a shame the park won't be opening any time soon. Summer is hopeful, fall is a bit more reasonable, but I think next winter or Spring 2022 is most likely. I really hope I am wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 I sort of expect them to go back to operating as a zoo within the next few months but obviously if someone rides a dive coaster with a mask on they'll die of covid for sure. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
