Although we might be sick of Seaworld doing blue coasters, I quite like the colour of this one.

Plans for SeaWorld’s next roller coaster take shape

With the long-awaited Emperor dive coaster finally open, SeaWorld San Diego is setting its sights on the park’s next thrill ride — and we’re starting to get an idea of what to exp…

The coaster will rise no more than 30 feet into the sky from a location just east of the Wild Arctic area

The park’s Coastal Commission application says the ride will be colored gray and blue to “aid the structure in blending into the surrounding sky.”

While the park is keeping everything else under wraps, a SeaWorld spokesperson told FOX 5 to expect a formal announcement “in the next few weeks.”

Screamscape reporting that we can expect an announcement next week on the 27th, same day that we hear about Seaworld Orlando’s surf coaster and possibly others;

Added evidence to a Tuesday morning announcement from someone followed by SeaWorld who will probably be at the media event:

Mods, I've updated the topic title to reflect the announcement; sorry if I've done it wrong.

As for the ride; it looks really fun, and I'm sure it'll be a great addition!

SEAS are really going all in on this “fanciest straddle coaster” marketing.

The public: did you say you’re building a strata coaster?

SEAS: erm, yes, we’re building TWO straddle coasters!

Should have posted this sooner, for those interested in what Sandor had to say about the ride, as well as DarKoaster and Catapult Falls.

Overview of the coaster currently, hope they put some effort into rock work or some other cool landscaping as opposed to just sod;

Layout looks good! Yes, they need some landscaping to really spruce it up.

The good news is that Arctic Rescue will indeed be receiving a lot of (very necessary) theming, including Wild Arctic's helicopter being placed outdoors!
