SeaWorld Orlando Confirms New First-Of-A-Kind Roller Coaster for 2023

I mean we all knew this was coming, but it's certainly nice to see SeaWorld Orlando make it official! The theme park has confirmed the addition of their 7th roller coaster, coming in 2023. They say it's a first of a kind, and from what we know it is... mostly?

From the track and supports that have arrived on site, the park is definitely adding another B&M roller coaster to their thrill arsenal. The ride is a rumored "surf coaster" which goes back to patent filings done way back when. From the latest construction photos it looks like the ride's site is totally clear and footer drilling may have commenced.

Probably most interesting is that the video clip that SeaWorld Orlando released, embedded below, does have some brief shots of the ride's trains. They are two across, not 4 like a usual B&M, and the riders are... standing.

Now the B&M stand-up coasters stopped being built for a reason - my opinion - but I'm going to have faith that the manufacturer figured things out and maybe this new generation will be great? Either way, the ride will be launched and will be easily visible from the theme park's main entrance.

Here's the video the park has released, with more details coming this summer, of course.
