Texas Trip Report Part 2: SeaWorld Texas

Picture
Today it's part 2 of Renée and Andrew's trip to Texas. Today we're at SeaWorld Texas to check out Texas Stingray, Steel Eel, Great White, Wave Breaker and more. 

And of course some pics of this great looking park! 

​Enjoy! 

Written by Renée Girard and Andrew Cunningham
Spending the afternoon at SeaWorld San Antonio. We’ve been here before but love their coasters and can’t wait to check out Texas Stingray!

​They’re gearing up for the Seven Seas Food Festival in a few weeks.

Journey to Atlantis is closed, not our favorite version anyway so we’re not mad.

Ready to ride Texas Stingray!

Texas Stingray was cute! I mean, just look at the little ray in the front. A great addition to the park - not intense, just fun!
Picture
Wave Breaker is also a lot of fun, giving some great views of the waterfront and the other coasters.

Love a good B&M invert! Great White is fintastic, and can be seen off in the distance near Wave Breaker too.

Got a couple of great rides on Steel Eel this afternoon as well!

The Lakeside Beer Patio right across from Steel Eel is a nice place to relax with a beer. Low wait times for the coasters kept us on the go so this was perfect.

In the Discovery Point section of SeaWorld San Antonio, you can still stop by to look around without having an interaction booked. If you’ve visited Discovery Cove Orlando, it has a very similar look!

We ended the day watching Ocean Discovery, a show unique to this SeaWorld park, as it features beluga whales and Pacific white-sided dolphins.

Thanks for following along with us in Texas, y’all!

Sea World San Antonio announces Wave Breaker for 2017

Picture
Wave Breaker: The Rescue CoasterTM Jets into SeaWorld® San Antonio
 
Double-launch, jet ski-inspired coaster based on marine animal rescue missions will be the first of its kind in North America, Debuting Summer 2017
Picture
​SAN ANTONIO (September 27, 2016) — Race into action on a new generation of coaster that combines the thrill of the sea with the adrenaline rush of a roller coaster in ways never before seen or experienced.  Coming to SeaWorld San Antonio in summer 2017, Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster will enable riders to feel what it’s like to race alongside SeaWorld’s heroic animal care team and veterinarians as they spring into action at a moment’s notice to help rescue animals in distress.
 
“The new coaster promises a ride of a lifetime that’s also unique to SeaWorld’s mission,” said SeaWorld San Antonio Park President Carl Lum.  “Replicating an adventure limited to only a few trained professionals, Wave Breaker will launch riders into an exhilarating experience similar to going on an animal rescue mission.  The coaster is sure to thrill, but also brings awareness to the brave efforts of our animal teams as they join forces with organizations around the world to help ill, injured, orphaned and abandoned animals.”
Picture
Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster boasts a variety of features inspired by the reality of jet skiing across a body of water. The unique jet ski-style car design is the first such coaster design in North America and engages riders in a straddled seating position. The design will allow riders to lean into a series of banked and serpentine turns, and grip the handle bars as they race over air time humps and a pair of high acceleration launches.  Reaching heights of up to 61-feet, the majority of the coaster’s 2,600-foot track will be directly over water, creating the sensation that riders are racing across the park’s Ski Lake. With a minimum height requirement of 48”, Wave Breaker promises to be a dynamic coaster experience for the whole family.
 
“Inspired by our guests’ ongoing requests to learn more about how they can help support animal rescue efforts, each ride begins by telling the story of a rescue mission and invites guests to become personally involved in helping to protect animals,” adds Lum.  “Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster will definitely be a thrilling ride, but we also hope it brings riders on a journey of discovery, as together we work to protect the wild wonders of our world.”
 
Wave Breaker: The Rescue Coaster marks a major addition to SeaWorld San Antonio’s coaster portfolio.  With the addition of Wave Breaker, SeaWorld San Antonio will feature four coaster experiences, spanning a range of ages and thrills Wave Breaker joins:
  • The Great White® - a floorless steel rollercoaster challenges riders to 360-degree flips, breathtaking loops, corkscrews and thrilling curves at speeds of up to 50 mph
  • Steel Eel® - a true hypercoaster featuring a 15-story vertical drop, followed by a series of camelbacks giving riders periods of weightlessness
  • Shamu Express® - a junior-sized coaster perfect for families with younger children
