2016 SeaWorld's New Coaster Speculation

[novawildcat18]

Give me some left shark and I might start to agree on this...

If this logo involves this guy, count me in

 

[shiekra38]

and Manta sounds thrilling?

I think Mako is a solid name.

Yes, Manta sounds better...it is a clang off the ears type of thing for me...Mako just doesn't sound right

Well don't get too stuck on the Mako name just yet. Another TM was filed for a ride to be called "Reef Hunter". With BGT going from Cheetaka (great name) to Cheetah Hunt (meh...) I wouldn't be surprised. I will be happy whatever the ride is I'm sure, but I prefer Mako. Things always change so I guess I shouldn't get hung up on it...just yet...lol

Mako: HUNTER OF THE REEF!

Book it!

 

[Nick]

Suddenly I like Mako a little more...

 

[OrlandoGuy]

If they name this thing Reef Hunter I will buy Blackfish on DVD

 

[NashvilleTrio]

Nice.

 

[UNIrd]

If this goes from Mako to Reef Hunter, I blame you guys.

 

[Andy]

Reef Hunter is probably the Mako gift shop...

Reef Hunter is probably the Mako gift shop...

Good idea, actually sounds quite cool for a shop.

I went on Goliath at SFOG last weekend and if this can be anything like that coaster I would be beyond happy.

Just saw a picture of that coaster, that helix looks awesome!

I'm Betting on an RMC something at Busch Gardens Tampa before anywhere else under the SEAS umbrella. The new CEO was the one that got the first original RMC at Silver Dollar City and a launched woodie from them is rumored to be the 2016 coaster at Dolly. That was approved under his watch as well.

All I want are some frickin coaster trains with frickin laser beams attached to their heads.

That would be perfect for Gwazi's replacement. Build something like Twisted Colossus at Magic Mountain and they've got a winner...especially with a station fly-through! I'd rather see them build an Intamin pre-fab woodie (like El Toro at Great Adventure) personally, but an RMC redo of Gwazi would be an incredible ride experience.

Press stuff is going around now. Top Speed will be 73mph.

 

[WAJAS]

For everyone who doesn't really know how fast that is. Its about 3mph more than Sheikra, the next fastest local coaster, and 6mph more than Hulk.

And right around the normal speed of other B&M hypers around 200 feet tall.

 

[Brian G.]

Name is Mako. B&M will be doing it. Going to be locking this thread soon when all the official details come out, but until then.... rejoice! A B&M Hyper!

 

[DragonSlayer]

Great news on all counts. Just saw some concept art and I really, really like the look of what they're going for. Will save it for someone else to post in the next thread, but looks awesome.
