This world’s first launched flume coaster features a vertical lift elevator that transports riders 55 feet (16.75 m) above the theme park before they come barreling down the steepest flume ride drop in the world. Angled at 53°, the elevator drop chutes riders into a watery splashdown at over 37 mph (59.5 km/h).

    It's a shame that the splashdown is disappointing and the majority of it is a slow trundle through minimal scenery. But, the launch does look like a really interesting concept for future designs
  • @Kite037
    The launch has decent pull and they appear to be able to control the size of the splashdown. I got far wetter riding on a 75° day than I did on a 50° day.
  • @CarlileCoasters
    It looks amazing, but it is just TRIMMED to DEATH on that last hill before the final splashdown
  • @YessssssHazel
    Remember when you used to get soaked on rides? Seems like all the new water rides the water goes everywhere except in the boat an on the riders.
  • @MoultrieGeek
    Nothing like a super slow slog through unthemed chutes whilst baking in the San Antonio heat to get people excited. WTF was Sea World thinking?
  • @jaystarr6571
    Not for the Bags, Backpacks, and Purses crowd.
  • @Zuuu40
    Wow look how clear that water is
  • @cheesethrower
    The idea is fantastic but the execution could've been a lot better. It feels incredibly flat for a log-ride.
  • @CubbyTech
    Holy crap - enough about the bags! Interesting belt-launch - I wonder how often those need to be replaced. Was hoping for some sort of LSM launcher!
  • @ErikWestcot
    Why is nobody commenting on the fact that an annoyed employee is yelling over the station PA system? lmao For some reason it goes out to the ride track?
  • @LucyLoud2002
    Don't be surprised if this becomes maintenance hell
  • @lanceflx63
    Such a missed opportunity for Sea World to theme the hell out of this ride. I’m crossing my fingers that future models will be bigger and better; SFMM new project…fingers crossed 🤞
  • @thedude4063
    This is going to look cool once the trees grow
  • @browniethesnivy
    Seems pretty unremarkable. Most entertaining part of this ride, at least for me, is the little references to San Antonio. “Bexar crossing” because we’re in Bexar county and that’s pronounced the same way, and “fiesta geyser” because of our annual Battle of Flowers festival.

    The real question is how is this not considered a credit while JTA at this park is
  • We have this great idea for water ridee. lets go to walmart for some tents and chairs - thats our theming. We will add a launch feature but will have it only go up over like 5ft hill then drop in the water with no force... heres the payoff lets create a large hill to drop down but add breaks at the end so no one gets wet.... it will be a blast!
