SeaWorld Orlando | Pipeline: The Surf Coaster | B&M Surf Coaster | 2023

[Christian]

This turned out less interesting than we thought.

Those mad lads just couldn’t let the standup die

Why is it less interesting for you?

 

[Hutch]

Ugh. Why.

I'm sure it'll be better than the current B&M Standups... but still... why

 

[Magic-Man]

Stand-Up coasters could be really cool if they somehow manage to make it comfortable. I rode Riddler Revenge at Magic Mountain recently and it was super fun when my groin didn't hurt.

2 row cars on a B&M thrill coaster is also a first, is it not (excluding wing coasters which are technically 4 a row)? Something to note if nothing else.

 

[Christian]

Looks like the same old B&M stand-up design. While I don't hate it I wished for something more innovative.

Yeah it's launched also. That might be cool?

 

[Ethan]

Yeah, I'm on the "meh" bandwagon, did we expect more though? Something new for Florida though, I guess. I just find that after I've been stood waiting for an hour, the last thing I want is to have to stand on a ride too.

 

[Youngster Joey]

B&M stand-up's are great. Glad to see they're back and maybe people will learn to actually put the restraint correctly and stop complaining about them.

Ethan's view I get though.

 

[Steely Dan]

Well who woulda thought that the stand-up was gonna make an encore after a nearly 25 year hiatus.

I guess all fads truly are cyclical, even coaster ones.

Coming in 2024 - "Surfarou"

Don't forget the 2-across hypers.

 

[JoshC.]

Don't forget the 2-across hypers.

Perhaps I'm being dim, but I didn't know B&M did 2-across hypers? Can't find them on rcdb?

 

[Crazycoaster]

They made the new Steel Dragon train, and I think Crash is talking about the longer hypers with staggered seating such as Behemoth and Diamondback, although they could be argued as both 2 and 4 across

 

[Rollercoaster David]

Should of gotten a TOGO

The 2 kiddie inverts they made based on the Vekoma layout are also 2 across.

 

[Lori Marie Loud]

Also I just realized this thing probably will wind up being 54 inches as well. Lol and RIP.

That's why I said thrill coasters

It's a stretch of a point to make yes, but just something which jumped out to me as noteworthy.

 

[Howie]

Well, I'm intrigued enough to postpone a Florida trip until next year when this is open. Not because I think it's gonna be mind-blowingly unmissable necessarily, far from it, but simply because visiting SeaWorld while a new style B&M is actively under construction would do my nut in.
Wonder how big it's gonna be? The two abreast seating arrangement implies lighter, more maneuverable trains so will it be a tighter, more compact, more whippy style layout? Or a huge sprawling giant?

I'm pretty sure the full layout has been leaked on numerous YouTube videos, and I'd say it's neither a huge sprawl nor tight and compact
