MAKO MAKES FIRST TEST RUN AT SEAWORLD ORLANDO

This weekend Mako, the tallest, fastest and longest hypercoaster in Orlando made its debut run along the 4,760-foot steal track at SeaWorld Orlando. During its inaugural test ride, Mako plunged 200-feet down from its initial lift hill, surged through nine air-time hills and reached top speeds of 73 mph.

Mako’s tight turns and record breaking speed is inspired by the mako shark. These impressive creatures are known for their top speed, making extreme jumps and the ability to quickly change course as they pursue their prey. Riders will become submerged into the world of the mako shark and feel the power of the predator as they experience the thrill of the hunt starting 10th June 2016.
