OMGSH... all great options. I don't remember what the permit was for, but I do remember the hub bub about it. Also, SeaWorld promised 5 coasters in 5 years. We would only be on #4 for 2025. Ice Breaker (22), Pipeline (23), Penguin Trek (24).... I think that they should do a straddle and a dive for the last two. They are different than any other offerings for SeaWorld, and the dive, like you said - in the area. Granted we have SkeikRa 45 min away... but why not make it so people don't have to go there? ;) The GP won't see them as being different, just that they are both dives. Any which way they go, it will be fantastic!!
Admittedly, I have not had a chance to revisit since this work started...I always like to touch, feel, smell, and taste a new work site 😂 Helps me identify the work being done 🤣 But in all seriousness, I should be down there within a couple months to check progress.
Very interesting video! I agree with your thoughts on a lot of this, there's just a few things I don't see happening for a few reasons. There isn't that much room in the area that you showed on the map. That area is a lot of back of house locations, and while they could be moved, SeaWorld might not want to do it. You are however able to move over to the overflow parking lot. Now i personally don't think a mack multi launch just because you have another multi launch coaster right across the midway. I could see a straddle coaster since its a unique train with no ride like it near by. I also don't see a dive coaster coming due to SheiKra right down the road at busch gardens. SeaWorld as a company also works with GCI. Some examples would be Invadr, and Texas Stingray. They could build a wooden coaster, even though i don't think its the best option, it is still very possible. Especially if they decided to use Titan Track. Great video! Keep it up!
The ride experience of the mini dive is noticeably different from that of sheikra. The layout of Emperor is so compact, that if utilizing a similar layout with a turn after the first hill, it would work. However, they couldn't fit an iron menace style without forcing people to have a view of the parking lot from the hold brake lol. If United is trying to go the "resort model" in Orlando with on-site hotels and accommodations, I feel like they still need 1-2 more High thru-put rides. I agree the Mack is unlikely; HOWEVER, I would warn people against ruling out any launch coaster models for any united park. Over the last 7-8 years, no park chain in the world has purchased more "launched" rides than United Parks. The GCI would be awesome (or even a gravity group family coaster like Oscar's Wacky Taxi at Sesame Place Philly.) But wooden coasters and Florida humidity aren't exactly the best of friends. 1 thing for sure though, I love the investments going into this park. Truly one of my favorite places to be. No matter the addition, I'm sure we'll love it!
I would expect that entire building to be refurbished and reimagined. And have part of the entrance leading to the new ride entrance (total speculation) but very similar to arctic rescue and that entrance for wild arctic in San Diego.
Yes a mini Dive is fun, but people would compare it to sheikra in tampa... it's why they don't try to duplicate the same type orlando and tampa... You also missed a more compact flying theater, "airific flying theater" by mack... Legoland Florida has one...
I get the argument, but I truly believe everything is on the table in terms of additions. This is unprecedented. They just told us which park is the golden child (the one getting brand new resort hotels to make it the only true destination location in the chain) The intentions will undoubtedly be to retain guests on site as often as possible. They are affordable people pleasers that look beautiful and give the GP something scenic to enjoy whether they're actually riding the ride or just watching other people ride the ride.
@@ClayPRC They do have plans for Tampa to get a resort... one of the plans was for along the seregeti with a train station entrance and possibly nice resturant... of course that would mean they would need to run more trans! (I dont mind)
Every park needs a Mack Extreme Spinner! 😂🤣
The Flying Theatre would be cool though!
Agreed! That should be a new law!

Was at the park Saturday, and there are construction crews on the roof of Wild Artic. They are repairing the roof.
I would expect that entire building to be refurbished and reimagined. And have part of the entrance leading to the new ride entrance (total speculation) but very similar to arctic rescue and that entrance for wild arctic in San Diego.

Enough with the roller coasters already. They need some good dark rides.
I don't disagree, the flying Theatre would be awesome for the park.
