SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion Thread

[SoCalCoastersYoung and Stupid! I blame my parents.]

Awesome news! SeaWorld just told me that they want me on one of the opening trains on Saturday, so I will be attending opening day. Very cool to be able to inaugurate my home-parks newest roller coaster (and probably San Diegos best)! I'll make sure to take lots of pictures!

Lucky! I would kill to be able to get an opportunity like that!

SeaWorld's Facebook posted this picture yesterday. Looks cool!

I don't know why, but I love that picture.

well, it seems like there is no other choice than to take the tunnel

[coasterfreak101Gimme Some Candy!]

That is beautiful!

What does the rest of the ride area look like? I know that turns just after the launch have the rockwork done, but is the rest still over dirt?

[Intimidator305Nuthin' better than a naked donkey!]

This ride is really unique. It just keeps getting better and better!

[gromithereWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

The way it sounds they filmed a bunch of these for different television markets, but I saw this on the local Sacramento morning show today:

Seaworld Manta Mania

[TXman308I know more about donkeys than women!]

Why does the ride rock back and forth before the launch. Is it there to enhance the effects with the dome?

[empiresHarry Potter is a sick donkey.]

Dang they're saying the cost of this entire project is 50 million!!

[PALDonkeys are my way of life!]

^The heart of the park was gutted and remade. They moved a lot of dirt, built new structures, renovated others and built a coaster. Compared to Little Mermaid's alleged $100 million price tag (really? I don't know - don't take it as gospel), it's a bargain.
