Pipeline, a new surf-style coaster, will open at SeaWorld Orlando this month, while the park is still offering free tickets to members of the military and their guests.
SeaWorld Orlando announced that its newest roller coaster will open to the public on Saturday, May 27. On May 12, the park will begin allowing its Pass Members to preview the ride.
Billed as the world’s first surf coaster, Pipeline will mimic the movement of surfing by keeping riders in a standing position on a moving platform, which allows them to move move up and down freely while remaining secure.
The attraction features 2,950 feet of track and will reach a top speed of 60 mph. It tops off at 110 feet, making it the fourth tallest roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando after Mako (200′), Kraken (153′), and Manta (140′).
Only riders who are 54″ and taller will be able to ride the new coaster, according to park officials.
Last month, SeaWorld Orlando officials announced that military members and up to three of their guests may receive free tickets. Additional tickets may be purchased for 50% off the ticketed price as well. Tickets must be obtained by May 14 for entry into the park through July 9.
