Surely nine rows would suggest Premier?
The spacing isn’t correct for their SkyRocket trains either - thank god.

I mean, not far fetched, they can fit their coasters into very tight spaces example:Surely nine rows would suggest Premier?
Sounds like Premier gave them a killer deal for another build after the Ice Breaker fiasco. I kinda hope it isn't because 1) It would most likely be too similar to Ice Breaker 2) As a tall guy, I just don't like those Premier trains.Surely nine rows would suggest Premier?
Maybe so, my issue with Premiers is that they are hard to get into, as you said, and for some reason way louder than other coaster typesSounds like Premier gave them a killer deal for another build after the Ice Breaker fiasco.

If it's not a straddle coaster, it should be. The park is lacking a good family coaster.
They wouldn't... Right?! Like, from a business perspective they realize how ill advised it'd be to have two nearly identical ice-themed roller coasters from the same low budget manufacturer in the same park... Right? Lol. It'll be hard enough as it is to convince anyone to buy a ticket to ride another ice themed outdoor roller coaster, two years after the last one opened. This ride needs to be as different from Ice Breaker as possible or people aren't going to realize or care that it exists.Surely nine rows would suggest Premier?
The new exit is across from the current load, also in midways video JTA already is getting cosmetic work and looks a lot betterThat's good to hear! I was on the ride earlier this week and I was horrified to see just how much worse it's gotten on both the inside and outside, even compared to 2017. Huge sections of rockwork are just missing now with exposed metal beams showing where they used to be; the rockwork that's still there looks more like giant mold spots than rock; stucco and wood sections are visibly warping and rotting away; paint is horribly and unevenly faded with obvious patch jobs that don't match the color at all; even more effects inside are turned off, even the basic lighting and fountain effects; random sections are just totally dark and silent, while others that are actually supposed to be dark are lit by maintenance lights. Ironically, the Allura head that used to lurch out of the wall is now lit up again. Any idea what the timeline is? What's the new exit?
Huh, I wonder what prompted them to move the exit... Do you mean directly across from where it loads, basically to eliminate the team member helping people exit? I have to imagine that'd slow down operations.The new exit is across from the current load, also in midways video JTA already is getting cosmetic work and looks a lot better
Isn't that one of the most reliable ride systems of all time? I didn't know why it was down.Does anyone know when Mako is scheduled to reopen?

It doesn't work like that. . .My expectation is sea world went with whoever gave them the best deal. Manufacturers would have a large incentive to give sea world deals given their location and year round status to showcase if it was something new to their portfolio like ice breaker.
Except when it does. Kennywood got a great deal from S&S for steel curtain. There were a few great deals for early RMCs. Stand ups have fallen out of favor and B&M needs someone to build one more than a park needs to take a chance on a new stand up.It doesn't work like that. . .

I wanna believe this too. Seems like a great central location for a hotel. If they wanted to, they could probably make this into something of a hub connecting the three parks, and potentially a new pickup spot for the Busch Gardens shuttle as well.This location, lot size, and lack of significant structures make me think this is the hotel site.
You'll get immediate access from I-Drive and Central Florida Parkway, which will help with traffic distribution. Easy park access using a bridge over the waterway. Guest rooms will get unobstructed views of events, like fireworks, on the lake here as well b/c there are no coasters in the way. Most of the land is parking, which can be easily consolidated with an employee parking structure or by using other plots they own in the area for parking.
Even better, placing it on this side of the property enables them to link it to Aquatica and Discover Cove with pedestrian bridges as well.
