I've been super curious about how the ending will play out on this ride. It was kinda eeeeehhhhh when I first saw it.


I think it'll be one of those flow-y elements that aren't especially intense but are a really fun to ride (think Helix s-curves?)

I thought the turnaround would be a bit bigger, but it still looks really cool nonetheless.

Hopefully it isn't completely forceless.

That "teardrop-shaped" turnaround is way too cool! Judging from the speed that Mako generates, that part must be more intense than Hollywood Dream!

:D

Yeah I love how steep it is! In the UK we don't have a great amount of space so you don't tend to get really steep rises within layouts unless its an inversion so that kind of element always intrigues me.

Ugh I love the shaping of that turnaround. It's way bigger than I thought it would be.

They have a month and a half before May. Testing probably won't begin until early-mid April.

Oh no I just realized that the hammerhead is not symmetrical. This will bother me for eternity now.

Mako seems to have the Nitro's first "iconic" part and the SeaWorld San Diego's Manta's snaky hill part as well! :)

Nice to finally get some proper view from the other side of Kraken. :) Should be a fun ride.

Is it just me or are those wavy turns with the nets making the theme of Mako's fins? :D
