Yoshi Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Sounds cool, I wonder who the manufacturer is and what it will be themed too. I'm guessing B&M or Mack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC98 Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) I love how they put in a new coaster the year after I finally get to go there Although this is no guarantee Screamscape claims it will be a Mack coaster. A custom layout from Mack with a ride experience like their other bigger coasters would be awesome! Edited April 24, 2015 by RC98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coasterharrison'98 Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 It's about time seaworld did something like this! They have been losing attendance for the past couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 It does look like a nice ride and it is good to see that SeaWorld will have the bragging rights for the tallest, fastest, and longest coaster in Orlando. Busch always comes up with unique coaster names but I am surprised that they picked a name that is so similar to their last coaster (Mako and Manta). I think some guests would think the two rides are one in the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railer Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Here's a "narrated" POV from the announcement. I don't know, maybe it's just me, but i like the newer design element's on Fury 325. This seem's sort of "dated" now except for after the "block brakes" where it interact's with the entry portal, and hits a couple "overbank's". It's almost a "NItro" clone. https://youtu.be/pWiE06r5oK0 Edited May 28, 2015 by Railer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted April 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Mako has started testing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44OrB0pgdv0 And here is one with multiple angles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansHockey Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Looks like a lot of fun, I'll be going down to Orlando most likely April of next year and definitely going to the park to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 See the houses under the "share" arrow? I live in that neighborhood... Nice. I would go broke getting season passes for all of the parks you live near. On a side note, I guess its time to admit I need reading glasses. I thought your neighborhood was where the horses under the "share" arrow. I guess I can pretend to be young a little longer by enlarge my font size.

Yoshi Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 From the video, the coaster looks like it could be one of the best in the state. The MCBR didn't slow down the train as much as I was expecting it to. This is another park I really want to get back to. I haven't been there since 2004 and still have yet to ride a coaster there (it was too cold for Journey to Atlantis and I wasn't ready for a coaster like Kraken at the time).

GAcoaster Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 SeaWorld has the best collection of coasters in Orlando. Between SeaWorld and Busch Gardens Tampa, they have a great lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Just watched it cycle a few times from inside the park, and wow is it fast and quiet! https://www.facebook.com/105208959537067/videos/1100263940031559/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 So happy I just got chosen to be a test rider this Thursday afternoon. And they're paying me to ride as part of the employee testing of the ride!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 That sounds like one of the best jobs in the world, being paid to ride a coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc12192 Posted May 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 Riding a coaster as a test is great. Being paid while doing it- the best! Enjoy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 I love that SeaWorld does this for new attractions. They use the team members to help train the ride crew and see how guest flow will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
