SeaWorld is always on the look out for innovations and ways to improve itself to bring in more people and gain more customer loyalty.
SeaWorld Orlando plans on finishing the newly innovated roller coaster, the Mako, which is named after a shark known for its speediness and its ability to change course quickly, summer of 2016.
A few years ago, the company came up with a brand new Shamu Show called “One Ocean”, which brought in a more diverse crowd and focused more on the importance of our divine ocean. This year, SeaWorld is focusing on new ways to improve the ride scene.
The Mako, once finished, will officially be considered Orlando’s tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster, reaching speeds of 73 MPH and a maximum height of 200 feet.
Currently, Universal’s The Incredible Hulk is the fastest roller coaster in Orlando, reaching maximum speeds of 67 MPH, and Universal Studio’s “Rock It” is Orlando’s tallest roller coaster, reaching heights of 167 feet.
Seaworld’s Mako plans to take the spot of both those roller coasters this coming summer.
Even though it will have all the thrill and speed assets, it will unfortunately not have any loops, nor any inverted twists, making this roller coaster an attraction for both the older crowd and the younger crowd.
It will be less queasy, yet still exhilarating ride.
