Swing and a miss

This thing seems like a capacity nightmare. How many trains can they run? 2?

They could probably run 3. One in the station, one on the main track and one on the brake run just before the station/after the final turn.

At least the capacity is better than Tigris.

I think this is going to be a fun coaster, a few good pops of air time and the launch is different than anything in the immediate area.

I like it.

I don’t know what anyone expected. It never looked like a compelling ride

It’s a fantastic mid-level coaster for families that want some thrill but aren’t yet ready for the Mako’s and the Kraken’s of the world. Really helps give SeaWorld a more well rounded lineup. No complaints here.

I was hoping for more than a virtual on ride from an already announced coaster.

That’s a really great point and it’s something that SeaWorld has been missing.

I wonder how many kids have been scared of the bigger coasters and will ride this and then proceed directly to the bigger coasters.

There's enough fan made NL2 renderings online...we know what it looks like

A real POV would be nice haha

Honestly looks like it's got some fun little pops of airtime. May be slower than Tigris, but it's probably gonna be a hell of a lot more fun- for me at least. Definitely rounds out SeaWorld's coaster lineup too.

I suspect it will be a lot of kids’ first non-kiddie coaster. Solid addition to the park and glad it’s on the opposite end from the other coasters.

 

[darkridelover]

I think it's pretty awesome. It has everything I want in a coaster. Lots of airtime and snappy elements. Not every ride needs a giant show building or millions in rock work to be good.

I don't believe it tested before the shutdown happened. But with the structure being checked and torqued this week, a real POV might not be too far out.

That's what I'm thinking

After the IG POV this is a tad underwhelming, but I'm glad they're back at it

It’s a cheap ride that will look good on a billboard for a season. Just like Tigris, or Finnegan’s Flyer, or Electric Eel, or Tempesto.

It’ll do exactly what it’s supposed to do.

 

[Magic-Man]

Y'all are missing the point. This isn't supposed to be anything special. It's just supposed to fill a major hole in the lineup, a family coaster in a park lacking them entirely.

There seems to be a major pushback now against anything that’s not an e ticket attraction.

Agreed. How many areas of parks would be improved by just a couple unique flats that eat up a couple hundred people an hour?
