SeaWorld roller coasters

Mako: The newest, tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Orlando!

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.

“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.”

Manta: The only flying coaster in Orlando!

Manta is the ultimate thrill at SeaWorld Orlando. Riders will fly like a manta ray, as you lay face-down and parallel to the coaster track. Experience the full force and power of riding the high seas, as you soar at top speeds and nosedive through its one-of-a-kind twists and turns.

Walt Disney World roller coasters

“The best and scariest way to experience SheiKra is at night, in the dark, front row.”
