Mako - 2016 SeaWorld Coaster

[GAcoaster]

Yes, they are.

Are the birds back in the enclosure? They weren't there in Feb.

Yes there are birds of different sorts in there again, including a pair of my favs, the White-Faced Whistling Ducks. I may be wrong, but the little waterway/pond in there looks new.

Dear god that is a lovely coaster. B&M always delivers the goods. The coasterboys will be flocking to SW this year for sure.

Another update:



At 53secs, it looks like the train has crashed into building leaving a perfect silhouette of the seats.

Augh I really want to go to SeaWorld this summer now. Anybody know where I can catch a free flight to Orlando?

If I have to skydive, I'm all for it.

There is a new presentation at the Nautilus Theater called Mako Rising. Currently it is presented a couple times daily.

Is it an ad or is it an actually interesting presentation.

I like it, it tells you about 4 different types of sharks, they have a live host, have a little on stage quiz for 2 younger guests. I think it's new, or newer cgi footage of the entire ride, as well as showing cgi of the water effect like Manta uses. You get a couple of coupons after the presentation is over, as well as a free snack when you get there. Oh there also is video footage of when they topped off the lift, as well as 2 vid segments with designers, one talking about the air time, the other talking about the whole area, and he is in the train barn while he talks.

I'm assuming this is near the end of the ride near the lake? I think it was MakoMadness that mentioned that something like that might happen in one of his recent updates.

Yeah that's what it shows on the cgi, not on the p.o.v. but a separate clip shows it panned out and you see the effect.

June 10th is going to be a fantastic day.

 

[Ultranel]

June 10th??? YAY!!! YES!!! YES!!! I WILL BE THERE!! Wow thank God, finally some positive news after the TSL tragedy.

June 10th is going to be a fantastic day.

Hopefully the first day in SeaWorld's return to success.

They're already on the right path. Spring Break crowds this year were HUGE! Lot's of locals taking advantage of the (relatively) affordable price structure.

Mako will keep them coming back.

 

[AdamPJen]

Do sea world do a similar system of soft opening like Uni and Disney before the 'official' opening date?

 

[GAcoaster]

Usually, yes.

 

[AdamPJen]

Any guesses as to how early we could see it in softs?
