  • This world’s first launched flume coaster features a vertical lift elevator that transports riders 55 feet (16.75 m) above the theme park before they come barreling down the steepest flume ride drop in the world. Angled at 53°, the elevator drop chutes riders into a watery splashdown at over 37 mph (59.5 km/h).

    It's a shame that the splashdown is disappointing and the majority of it is a slow trundle through minimal scenery. But, the launch does look like a really interesting concept for future designs

    • @svenlakemeier

      The slow trundle is now the standard on any modern flume, sadly.

      ⁠​⁠@@hypnobearcoup2505I believe it was a problem with the weight of the boat which is why they were added, back before the ride officially opened and only select people could ride the ride went a lot faster down the hills, but I think they didn’t tone it down too much

    Nothing like a super slow slog through unthemed chutes whilst baking in the San Antonio heat to get people excited. WTF was Sea World thinking?

    We have this great idea for water ridee. lets go to walmart for some tents and chairs - thats our theming. We will add a launch feature but will have it only go up over like 5ft hill then drop in the water with no force... heres the payoff lets create a large hill to drop down but add breaks at the end so no one gets wet.... it will be a blast!

    With the way that announcement was made so frequentely I realised bag policy in USA parks is so awful. Plus the lockers are such a scam. I guess it's a liability thing with how lawsuits work in the USA, but I bet if this ride was in Europe you'd have been able to take your bag on the ride.

    • @The-Coaster-Craze
      @The-Coaster-Craze 6 місяців тому

    Seems pretty unremarkable. Most entertaining part of this ride, at least for me, is the little references to San Antonio. “Bexar crossing” because we’re in Bexar county and that’s pronounced the same way, and “fiesta geyser” because of our annual Battle of Flowers festival.

      It’s an Intamin ride. They don’t have the “Big Splash” concept in mind when they design these. Surprised they are doing that elevator lift system, it has failed in other rides they built and not a good system

    The concept of this ride is cool but no theming and a sad splashdown. It seems SeaWorld hasn’t had the budget it needs to compete with other theme parks especially at this one. Orlando will probably always be the best SeaWorld.

      Hi there! Fun fact: several members of the CoasterForce used to be terrified of roller coasters. The way we all got over our fears is just by riding coasters and watching POVs. There is no one way to get over a fear of coasters, and it's okay if you never do. Just start small and work your way up! - Jack
