The credit for these photos goes to ACE South Central, who posted them on Twitter - I am embedding them here to make sure you guys see them. I'd give them a follow on Twitter as I suspect there will be many more photos of this new ride in the future.That is an odd looking fishing pier they are building at @SeaWorldTexas! 🤔😉🤣 #FishWithACE @aceonlineorg @SeaWorld pic.twitter.com/CiEIopagkY— ACE South Central (@acesouthcentral) June 30, 2019
Surprisingly, the lift hill for this new wooden coaster, rumored but not confirmed to be by Great Coasters International, is already complete! Usually the topping out of a new coaster is celebrated by the park through the press, and also it's usually during the winter. SeaWorld San Antonio has already reached that milestone in June, the year before the ride will open!More of the odd looking fishing pier they are building at @SeaWorldTexas! 🤔😉🤣 #FishWithACE @aceonlineorg @SeaWorld pic.twitter.com/NnuDBhroM3— ACE South Central (@acesouthcentral) June 30, 2019
The coaster will utilize steel supports and a traditional wood coaster track, refreshing as there haven't been many new wood coasters in the U.S. for the last few years. If the ride does in fact prove to be a GCI creation, it will be their first new wood coaster in the U.S. since 2017, when InvadR opened at sister park Busch Gardens Williamsburg. A couple of the photos appear to show a track segment that is below grade, so perhaps it will have a tunnel or two as well. It will be fun to see the ride go up without knowing the full layout - rare that that happens anymore!And even more of the odd looking fishing pier they are building at @SeaWorldTexas! 🤔😉🤣 #FishWithACE @aceonlineorg @SeaWorld pic.twitter.com/8b8otmetev— ACE South Central (@acesouthcentral) June 30, 2019
The new wooden coaster will be the park's 5th overall, with Wave Breaker having only opened in 2017.
