And I’m sure SeaWorld is trying to tap into that family market.” Once you do a ride like Emperor you’re not going to put in a ride like that for a few more years. “When you look at SeaWorld’s overall collection, the park knows what it’s doing. Visitors to coaster-net’s YouTube channel have called 2023 the year of the family coaster. The San Diego park, he notes, is in good company. With this, we reach a broader audience, and you have the right element of thrill.”Ĭoaster enthusiast Andrew Rybarczyk, who is president of, says SeaWorld is smart to introduce another family-friendly coaster as it’s been more than a decade since Manta, which has slightly faster speeds, came on line. “I’ve heard some comments like it’s not as thrilling as Emperor but that’s the point. “People compared it to Manta, and they talked about how smooth it is and how there are surprising twists and turns you don’t see coming,” Lake said.
While the official grand opening is Friday, SeaWorld gave its pass holders the opportunity to test drive the new coaster on Sunday and Monday.
The height limit for the ride is 48 inches, which typically means that children 7 and older will be able to board the coaster, although the age can vary, SeaWorld said.
