We are at SeaWorld tonight to see more from the Summer of Mako.

The entire area surrounding Mako has gotten a makeover and is now known as Shark Wreck Reef.

Shark Encounter has a new look with the same viewing tunnel.

Sharks Underwater Grill has a special drink menu for Mako. We got the Mako American Red Ale. Refreshing on a hot day

20 minute wait posted for Mako. Actual wait time, 5 minutes!

More Mako themed food and drink items are available throughout the park.

Love the artwork by Guy Harvey at Mako

5 minute wait for Manta too, awesome!

Going for a few more rides on Mako. Lots of fun, definitely great for coaster enthusiasts of all ages!

Media Day for Cobras Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa

6/17/2016

Yesterday was media day for Cobras Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa and the park was awesome enough to invite us out to check out their new Mack spinning coaster.

Below we've got some amazing pictures and video for you taken by Steve who was on hand for the festivities.

Welcome to the Cobras Curse

The ride is amazingly photogenic

The park provided us with an amazing POV, Reverse POV and off-ride footage

Snakes ... why did it have to be snakes

Let's head in and check out the queue

The queue is amazingly detailed and air conditioned which was very much needed yesterday

Video of the awesome queue pre-show

We'll leave you with a few more shots of the ride

Overall Cobras Curse is a crazy fun ride and something that is definitely needed at the park. It has good forces without too much crazy spinning and will do amazingly well with all of the parks demographics.

Cobra’s Curse Striking Facts:

One-of-a-kind spin coaster features a menacing 30,000-pound snake king icon and a 70-foot vertical lift that will take riders within inches of its 3 foot-wide eyes and 4-foot-long fangs.
During the three-and-a-half-minute ride, the coaster trains speed along at 40 mph down 2,100 feet of serpentine-like track, travelling backward, forward and then spinning freely.
Guests will experience a new spin with each ride. Each train spins randomly, with frequency and direction determined by the rider weight distribution.
The ride’s air-conditioned queue naturally fuels guests’ adrenaline with an immersive themed experience and a state-of-the-art snake exhibit featuring four exotic snake species including some of the world’s most feared and often misunderstood, vipers.
Riders must be 48 inches to ride, or 42 inches with a parent or guardian.
