Penguin Trek (2024)

Figured it's time for a thread.

Good idea!

So is the general consensus still a launched family coaster?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Hopefully this allows them to keep the area open after 5pm lol

As of now, they close Kraken/Atlantis hours in advance for cost savings... and probably to push you towards the food booths lol

I'm really hoping this FILLS all that space and gets some nice landscaping with it (image from Midway Mayhem's Twitter):

The more I consider it, the more I wonder if they are doing some kind of shuttle coaster here? It would be quite unique as none of the SWPs have one. Especially if it was a B&M (like Jumanji at Chessington)

Whatever type of coaster it is I hope the show building gets a good power wash. It's looking nasty in that picture above.

 

[OhHaiInternet95]

It's official, launched coasters are the new screenz.

You really can't see that part of the building except from the Sky Tower, but it should be cleaned.

I'm guessing there's no chance of it happening, but I'd love it if this included a proper expansion of the Antarctica area to encompass any guest-facing areas that this ride might occupy.

A B&M family multi-launch darkcoaster!? At this time of year, at this time of day, at this part of the country; your telling me that B&M's finally getting weird again?

 

[HandsomePete]

If they don’t call this Puckoaster: Arctic Blast it’s a big fail.

 

[Magic-Man]

Gotta admit, this is disappointing. Another B&M? Like I wish we'd get some variety at the park. And that isn't just limited to coasters, the park desperately needs flat rides and indoor attractions.

A launched B&M with a possible dark ride portion is better than a standard B&M imo.

Then again, I've never been to SeaWorld Orlando so I'm viewing this addition in the abstract and not within the context of the park experience.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Exactly what SeaWorld needs.

Does the manufacturer matter? As long as the ride experience is different, you can use the same manufacturer for everything. All of the current B&Ms at SeaWorld are vastly different experiences from one another.

The only thing I'm doubting is that indoor dark ride portion. Dark Ride and SeaWorld is legally not allowed to be within the same paragraph, let alone a sentence.

 

[GAcoaster]

Wow-- this is exciting news! I wonder what the ride vehicles will look like?

 

[Freak]

I believe this may be the first B&M to feature a dark ride segment. I can’t think of any that features one.

Really curious as to what the trains will look like. Sounds like the park’s remedy for SWSD’s Manta.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

B&M doesn't make sense, but hey we've been surprised before.

Maybe it could make sense for the prototype restraint system they patented?

A Surf-Coaster type 2 seats per row family coaster with those sitdown restraints may be why this is being possible, especially if it's able to do tighter turns.
