SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion Thread

[rcdude]

I cannot wait to ride this thing. It easily looks like one of the best family coasters based on what I've seen so far, and I think it will fit in well with SeaWorld San Diego. After all, I don't think that park really wants to become a major thrill park. Even if they aren't that intense, I'm more glad to see the park adding some rides as its admission price is really too high for an aquarium with a few rides (up until a couple years ago, that's pretty much all the park was).

I guess the "apples to oranges" analogy COULD work for jeeps. They both grow on trees, both can be safely eaten, both have seeds...

 

Would that be a Wrangler or a Grand Cherokee?

Aren't they manufactured, didn't realize jeeps grew on tree nor could be eaten.

I like the colors thats for sure. Also, it looks like they are moving right along with construction and track placement.

[SoCalCoasters]

I'm guessing that we'll see the track layout be completed by Christmas, and testing will probably not begin till around Feb. so they can get the LSMs and all the ride electronics installed and Mack finishes train construction.

 

And that's only if they decide to test it sans the theming.

 

So far it's looking great!

Bit more done by Friday the 4th (in the rain )

 

 

 

And heres a bit more, at approx 12:07 Friday 4th November standing at the top of the Sea Lion stadium - that OK for you?)

In that case, I apologise.

[DougMJr]

I think this coaster will be deceivingly fun! Hopefully I'll get to ride it next time I'm in San Diego.

Jeep=GP. I saw someone else use it on the site.

[larrygator]

Jeep = trademarked name of a vehicle

 

Taking a two letter "abbreviation/acronym" and lengthening it four letter word of defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

 

I saw someone commit suicide in a movie, that doesn't make suicide a good idea.

^ Larry, I've taken care of the jeeep thing now!

Since Sea World Orlando, and now Sea World San Diego, have a Manta coaster, does this mean Sea World San Antonio will be getting one in the near future.

I could actually se both the other Sea World parks getting one of these, it would fit great in both. With a different theme for Florida of course.

I was actually talking about Sea World San Antonio getting a Manta themed ride since both the other parks have one. But if you were talking about the two other parks getting a Mack launched coaster, then yes it would fit great with both the other parks. Who knows, this may be Journey to Atlantis all over again.

Seaworld's Facebook page has posted another construction update. I love the look of that transition. Hopefully there will be some forces that come along with this coaster.

[UniverseHollywood]

Lookin' good! Going up pretty fast!

 

Think the jeeps will like this ride regardless of it not being like the other Manta at the Florida Sea World park!

[harper83087]

Looking very good, low lying twisty fun. Have they given an official open date yet?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

I am actually excited that they got this coaster, they really needed more rides here. I guess Ill have to go down there next year,though I dont really care for the park.

For everyone who doesn't know, jeeps means GPs... though it makes no sense to say that...

[Someotherguyuser]

This coaster will be good I'm sure, but the park really needs a legit dark ride. I don't see why that should be so difficult to go through with the California coastal Commission since the building wouldn't have to be too terribly high; plus, they could always dig into the ground like USH has done with Transformers.

And it's stupid.

Good to see SWSD building its first roller coaster.
