SeaWorld Orlando | Pipeline: The Surf Coaster | B&M Surf Coaster | 2023

[Nitefly]

Their kiddie inverts are two across. Though they're very weird, so I feel like they almost don't count as B&Ms...

Ah - didn’t even know these existed!

There’s also Steel Dragon 2000, the coaster isn’t B&M but the new trains are.

And if we are going way back so were the SFMM Psyclone trains. (Yes B&M built woodie trains once)

And designed the new trains for Mindbender at SFOG.

To me that also doesn't look like surfing at all, more like a SUP Coaster.

You folks might be taking the theme a bit too literally, I mean why is the surfboard so big? And shouldn't they get rid of the restraints altogether and just have the riders stand and balance on the board as it goes round!?

Single restraint around one ankle. Let's go.

^When I read this I momentarily forgot this is a thread about the surf-coaster, and my first thought was honestly, “Ah yes, House Arrest the Ride”

More track has gone up after the inversion, here are some nice aerial pics:

It gives me Shockwave vibes in those photos.

Is it a trim I see after the corkscrew?

Yes.

 

[Youngster Joey]

there's trick track style banking on the drop going into the corkscrew. Amazing

 

[Psycoshark1]

The shaping for the inversion, when you see it side on, is actually very different from a corkscrew.

 

[Leon_K]

It looks like something in the middle between a zero-g-roll and a corkscrew. With a little fantasy you could say this is what it looks like if a surfer catches a wave and does a backflip when getting off (wave-roll?).

 

[Peter Immelmann]

Yes.

I'm actually thinking: Trim brake or trim launch?

 

[Niles]

They are flying along with construction, some of the high speed turns have gone up.

Wow this ride is going up fast! I wonder when the layout will be completed?

 

[Hyde]

The funky design of the inversions is ever more telling in real life. Definitely looking forward to that opening Immelmann and tall corkscrew!

 

[Matt N]

The more I see of this, the more it looks like a really fun ride! Some of those elements look really funky, and I think they could ride very well!

I certainly look forward to hopefully riding it in June 2023!
