ORLANDO, Fla. — SeaWorld Orlando visitors can now spy the beginnings of the theme park’s next roller coaster. Vertical construction has begun on the site, with work now topping the construction walls.
The light blue steel is going upright from the ground for the thrill ride, which will operate near the front of SeaWorld and adjacent to its parking lot, close to the Ports of Call gateway. It will eventually be one of the first attractions that arriving guests can see. These first posts are a few feet from the sidewalk that parkgoers use to walk to SeaWorld’s entrance.
SeaWorld confirmed the new ride in June, but it did not reveal its name or its features. A video simulation shows a blue-and-yellow, 24-passenger train on the rails. The company used the hashtag #HighSurfAdvisory with its initial announcement.
