Deere please that is like the 10th time you have said that on this thread alone.

I'm excited that Sea World is getting a hyper coaster, but please don't keep replying with the same pipe dream coaster idea.

I'm going to go against the grain and say all wacky dreams are welcome. No one saw a Launched B&M Wing Coaster coming, and now, I'm a happy home park camper! Anything is possible.

One year is still a very reasonable time to build a hyper coaster, but Fury went up extremely fast.

^Yeah, it was started pretty late, and opened far before anything else this year; and it happens to be the tallest and longest giga ever built, far more demanding than other projects that started earlier. Very impressive, the fact that they started construction in Sept/Oct and finished it by Feb/March. Only seven months maximum! Since there is no winter in Florida (be thankful for that), it should go up rather quickly. WC went up incredibly fast, not as fast as Fury 325 but that was because of the harsh winter we had/have. (it still doesn't feel like spring in the North East!)

^Fury is not the longest Giga because then it would be the longest coaster in the world, which it isn't because SD2000 is longer.

Anyone think it could possibly be an Intamin? I guess it's not impossible because they worked with Intamin a few years ago on Cheetah Hunt, though I still think it's most likely a B&M.

From a trademark filed, it appears that we have a name: Mako
This could very well indicate the theme of it as well, SHARKS!

^ Oh I got it. Checked out its etymology too. Interesting the name came from one Maori word. :)

I really wanted them to build "Shamu the Ride" and make the ride black with white highlights.


PETA would probably make them take it down so it isn't "oppressive" to animals.



Damn liberals.

Mako would be an interesting name for the coaster, but I'm not completely convinced that it's going to be the official name yet because they could pull another Cheetaka/Diavolo on us.
