Yes, San Diego needs a third family launch coaster to go along with Manta and Artic Rescue

Not like they can build much else over there

I’ll be there on the 1st. Is there any chance, no matter how slight, they could be getting random people to test it by then?

May 1st? Not a chance, unfortunately. If it's just started testing now, there's a ways to go.

That’s what I thought. Ugh.

On ride / off ride video posted today by the park on Twitter

.....and it looks like SeaWorld has removed the video! Hopefully someone else saved it

 

[InvertsAreMyJam]

I’ll see if I can get any video of it testing when I go.

 

[CanobieFan]

The video still lives on on the official SeaWorld Facebook page

Looks like it'll be fun

The new Antarctica Realm opens on Friday, featuring the renovated Expedition Cafe, South Pole Sips bar, penguin exhibit, and the Glacial Supply gift shop.

Everything it seems except for the new coaster itself;

Here is a POV

 

[Nitefly]

Definitely sounds like a modern B&M…

 

[JuliOverbank]

Rattly?

 

[CaliAngel]

Looks like a yawner to me...probably great for the kids though...

Rattly?

Seriously what's going on with B&M these days? There's been rumblings about Iron Menace being the same way. Neither of these 2 coasters are doing anything groundbreaking, very strange that the POV's for both have been lacking that typical "smooth B&M ride" we're all accustom to seeing.

 

[InvertsAreMyJam]

Eh…it does look kind of lame. But remember this is a family coaster. If you want something more intense, go ride literally any other coaster in the park.

 

[Peet]

Sure it's for kids, but a lot of those kids will have just ridden Hagrid's and/or Expedition Everest, maybe even Tron in the same week and this will seem incredibly dull in comparison.

Stolen from Facebook.

Also Reborn Nemessis… the last turn is extremely rattly…

Rattly?

Its clearly an immersive feature built into the trains to simulate how penguins walk...
