SeaWorld Orlando General Updates

[HandsomePete]

A new sign doesn't really rise to the level of promoting, but in hindsight maybe they should have pushed a quick WE'RE GETTING A NEW SIGN! press release just so they didn't have to answer all of the OMG WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR SIGN? inquiries at 6pm the day before Thanksgiving.

I hope it's a B&M Giga sign

I don't want an Intamin sign, it will just break

 

[Speed]

Both Kraken and Manta are down for one of the busiest weeks of the year?

 

[Magic-Man]

Kraken getting a much needed repaint, and a much less needed new color scheme?

 

[GAcoaster]

My guess is they're trying to make it a little more distinct looking. I think a lot of casual guests don't realize it's back there.

As is Cheetah Hunt

It sucks, but the parks will all look nice and pretty for their new rides to open

If anything, I feel like this makes it less distinct unless the track will become a new color. SeaWorld already has all Blue/Shades of Blue track and supports (I count Mako's purple as barely divergent because of the prominence of the supports) except for Ice Breaker. Maybe a nice pink color to match the tentacles at the entrance?

The new sign is coming along-- there's a lot of rebar sticking up above the fence for a new piece of rockwork. Nassal is on site hard at work on it each day.

I hope they get paid this time

They should really start looking at this in a way to push Merch.
It would be cool if pins could fit in something like this, trading is blowing up at Seaworld/Busch

 

[Mad Dog]

Great idea. Perfect. A dose of anti depression medicine to calm a guest after a terrible experience...examples at former Antarctica Sea World or F&F Universal....Butterbeer type sale numbers potential . O:

 

[GAcoaster]

Several of the stores used to have all this stuff, but behind the counter so you had to ask for it. This is much more convenient.

 

[shiekra38]

Soooo is Kraken actually turning green or are our eyes playing tricks on us?



Why would they change it unless something coming had a similar track colour scheme :look:

 

[HandsomePete]

Looks a little more sea-monsterish, but more concerning than the green track is if they leave the supports two-tone like that, because it looks like they stopped painting at rational points..... yuck.

There is no way they leave it that way

Right?

RIGHT?

I'd like to remind people most of this stuff is available for free from First Aid centers in parks, including Disney.

 

[shiekra38]

Hmmm, I'll be honest, I don't like the green

But I still feel this is intentional for a few important reasons

I'd like to remind people most of this stuff is available for free from First Aid centers in parks, including Disney.

I will pay extra to not have to ask the First Aid people for some antacids because I ate a half a hot dog

 

[GA-MBIT]

Really wish they went with Pink/Purple Octopus colors. I feel like Kraken's gonna blend in with Mako now.

I wonder how much of it is just lefover Mako paint lol.

Progress on the new sign:
