On Pipeline, riders will be standing (instead of sitting) on surfboard-themed ride vehicles as they zip across 2,950 feet of track.
The coaster will reach speeds of up to 60 mph and heights of 110 mph. It will also feature five airtime moments and an inversion inspired by a surfing maneuver called an “alley-oop.”
Pipeline will be SeaWorld’s seventh coaster, joining a lineup that includes Ice Breaker, Mako and Manta.
