Mako
- Type Roller Coaster
- Best For Teens
- Thrill Level Intense
- Duration 2 Mins
- Restrictions At least 54"
Named after one of the fastest sharks in the ocean, this ride is Orlando’s tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster! Even though it has no inversions, it does feature nine stomach-dropping moments of airtime. This attraction is designed to represent the thrill of the hunt and is set in an area of the park entirely dedicated to sharks.
- It’s huge, it’s fast and it offers airtime, lots of airtime. My favourite coasters have always been the ones that give you the feeling of weightlessness and Mako fits the bill exactly!
- The ride is completely forward-facing, so there are no loops or dangling upside down. You shouldn’t be nervous to ride Mako - it’s just a real rush.
- The backseat gives you the most airtime. It’s our favourite spot on the ride.
