Seaworld also posted a video on their twitter which shows off more of the layout and area! From the animation looks like there will be two launches and it implies there is potential for some sort of dueling aspect to the ride.

Still looks like a fairly short ride on the video. But awesome to see another one of these being built. They are a ton of fun! <3

I really hope that it will feature some intense S-turns comparable to the ones found on Jet Rescue. They don't seem to be that snappy, but they do seem to be taken at a higher speed.

I assume that'll be (as a "pretty" short coaster) one of the most appealing layouts! :D

Ride opens June 16th!

=====================================
Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster?? Launches June 16
at SeaWorld?? San Antonio

North America???s only jet-ski style coaster debuts at SeaWorld San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO (May 23, 2017) ??? A one-of-a-kind thrill launches June 16 at SeaWorld San Antonio, seeking a few brave individuals for an important mission. Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster combines the thrill of a roller coaster with the adrenaline rush of a marine animal rescue mission.

Inspired by the heroics of the SeaWorld Rescue Team, Wave Breaker???s jet-ski style car is the first of its kind in North America. The unique design engages riders in a straddled position and allows them to grip the handle bars as they race through a series of high-speed maneuvers and a pair of pulse-pounding launches over water.

???Wave Breaker takes our purpose of entertaining and inspiring our guests to the next level,??? said SeaWorld San Antonio Park President Carl Lum. ???The jet-ski style car design and layout of the track make Wave Breaker an exhilarating ride for thrill-seekers of all ages. For the first time, our guests will also be able to feel what it???s like to race alongside our animal care team when a call for help comes in."

Guests will board Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster in a queue-house themed with stories from some of the 30,000 rescues the SeaWorld Rescue Team has been involved with over the past 50 years. Before launch, riders will be assigned a mission ??? a sea turtle, dolphin or sea lion rescue. After the mission briefing, riders will grip the handlebars and prepare to race into action covering 2,600-feet of track ??? the majority of which is located directly over water, creating the sensation that riders are racing across the park???s lake. Each rescue mission will take a train of 16 riders through a more than three minute ride, reaching speeds of up to 44 mph and heights up to 61-feet.
???Wave Breaker provides a coaster experience unlike anything in the current theme park landscape,??? said SeaWorld Vice President of Theme Park Development Mike Denninger. ???While other coasters feature dramatic changes in speed, once you hit Wave Breaker???s first launch you???ll be moving fast throughout the entire ride. When you combine that consistent high speed with the banked and serpentine turns throughout the ride track that is 90 percent over the surface of the water you get an unparalleled ride experience.???

Are you ready to race into action? Follow SeaWorld on Facebook (/seaworld), Twitter (@seaworldtexas), Instagram (@seaworldtexas) and Snapchat (@seaworldtx) and visit SeaWorldSanAntonio.com for all the latest launch updates.

It certainly still is building up the launch speeds. I can't wait to see this going full speed.
