SeaWorld Orlando | Mako | B&M Hyper Coaster

@Canobie-- glasses thing should be fine now. I rode later in the day and was ok.

For me, this one sits below Fury 325, Behemoth, and Leviathan, but above the rest of the North American ones.
 
^ well, that's good. I found it silly that on other rides in the same park that go over pathways without nets under them... glasses are fine but on Mako, it's not.

Overall.... I'd probably put it in my top 25-20 (I'm at 830) and as far as B&M's? Behind Leviathan and Fury for sure.... but maybe third. The trim makes me pissy. You still get good air over the hill top... but I wish it wasn't there. The MCBR didn't really bother me.

Uh, and some photos from my Twitter.

^Agreed, the thing about the trim is it is so noticeable and really takes you out of an otherwise fantastic coaster.

It's fast, relentless (apart from the silly trim) and airtime by the bucketload. Best coaster in Orlando easily.

His accent needs to **** off. When it's nearly the same as your own and you hate it, there's a serious issue.

Glad the coaster is good. Orlando needed something like this, it's just a shame part of it falls victim to the trims. Maybe they'll ease up on them eventually.

Re: SeaWorld Orlando | Mako | B&M Hyper Coaster

Oh god that lighting at night. I need help.

Love that night lighting packaging. Mako's color scheme lends itself very nicely to those dark blues and purples.

Interesting on using a musical cue when the ride passes overhead. Sound effects, such as Swarm and Banshee are one thing; but I wonder if the musical cue might get a bit repetitive for the casual by-stander.
 
As well as music there's lighting that reacts

The music is a bit 'bold', but I think it'll make it more entertaining if anything. I remember reading it supposed to trigger one of three "show scenes" so you wont get the same music/lighting each time.
 
^ Ah, got it. Now that is cool that it varies. Activated lighting packages is something I would love to see in more parks. It's a simple implementation and gives a great visual at night. For instance, what if a Dive Coaster lowered it's lights when a train entered the holding brake at the top of the drop, with spot lights focused on the train for added drama?
 
It's opening day!

I didn't notice until now the "flood" exit gates in Mako's station (in the foreground of this picture) - gates for each respective row for disembarkment that also includes storage shelves. Props to Seaworld for this, as it should be an easy way to boost throughput by expediting lockdown of the exits.

If you're such a huge fan of Coaster Studios, why not ask him? He knows so much about rides he's never been on he's even able to rank and compare them!

Jarrett calling someone out for judging a ride they've not been on?

That's in the dictionary next to the word 'hypocritical'.
 
Re: Mako-SeaWorld Orlando-Passholder preview/Media Day-Thoug

^No.

I look at something and think, "this looks good, that doesn't, might be a good ride, might not be." But I'm always aware that I could be wrong when I make a prediction on a ride. Not to mention I hardly do it anymore because of butthurt children like yourself getting their panties in a wad for no reason. ;)

That stupid **** kid flat out ranks and compares stuff he never had and never will experience. And he gets into media days for doing it and it's stupid.

Aww look who's jealous this guy gets invited to the parties and you don't.

That's exactly what you did, including getting very defensive and 'butthurt' over being called out on it, so don't now be getting on your high horse for someone else doing something we had to force you to stop doing!

I don't really understand why you've gone back to being the worst again recently, I wish you'd take a look at that.
 
Re: Mako-SeaWorld Orlando-Passholder preview/Media Day-Thoug

^You never "had" to "force" me to do anything. I'm a grown **** man, I'll do what I please. ;)

Not to mention I never changed. I never have and I never will. Never did I ever "go back to being the worst." I'm the same person I've always been and if anybody has a problem they can drink their Haterade and STFU.
