SeaWorld Orlando | Ice Breaker | Premier Rides Custom Sky Rocket | 2022

[Antinos]

*facepalm*

Reality is not RCT - SeaWorld did not run out of money to finish the ride. From what I understand, the chain halted projects and withheld payments to contractors as a questionably ethical means of managing their debt while their cash flow was abruptly halted by the pandemic. Ice Breaker appears to be days away from being ready with some minor station related works to finalize, and then the walls come down. Iron Gwazi was days away from being commissioned. Emperor was probably in a similar boat. SeaWorld's decision is now rearing its ugly head with all these lawsuits.

Imagine, a massive sign appears in the sky "SeaWorld, you need £50 to place track piece"

"I can't find the entrance to LSM Launch Coaster 1!"

[Hixee]

Huh, definitely was expecting the real POV for some reason.

 

[CanobieFan]

I don't think they've even done a pull through yet. Let alone have finished the electrical work to do a live POV.
But I think it looks fun. Probably gonna be a better backseat ride. Although the restraints are 100% going to ruin it. :/

Is it weird that I enjoyed Universal's salty tweet more than the actual POV?

 

[skyvscoasters]

I’m going to reignite this thread now that it’s been a few months and we have a lot more activity on site.

We’ve seen some transfer table testing along with the train moving in and out of the station. Test dummies are strapped into the train but no full circuit testing yet, that’s likely coming very soon though. I have a feeling this’ll open around March or April!!

Yup, three months later and Universal's tweet is still making me more excited than the scarce news on this one.

How can a park build something so great like Manta or Mako and have such dire additions like Empire of the Penguin and Ice Breaker? Huh.

They have put test dummies into the train? Have they also moved they transfer track with the car on it?

Not that I've seen or heard. Last time I was there I saw test dummies and they moved it out onto the transfer and back into the station a few times. That's it tho

"Launch" testing has begun:-

 

[Crazycoaster]

To save anybody else wasting 3 minutes of their life, it literally rocks backward and forward a couple feet.

 

[CrashCoaster]

Since the last video I posted was clearly substandard, now it's launching backwards and forwards faster, heading towards full circuit-level testing:-

Looks slow *runs to a bunker*

Looks slow *runs to a bunker*

By the sound of it, I think that wind is pushing the train more than the launch track right now
