So the roller coaster announcement themed to high winds and tropical storms, was cancelled on account of high winds and tropical storms?
That's next level immersive marketing right there!So the roller coaster announcement themed to high winds and tropical storms, was cancelled on account of high winds and tropical storms?

Yes absolutely - despite making light of the extreme irony, absolutely dreadful timing for receiving a hurricane, especially this late in the season.
From marketing optics, this puts SeaWorld in an interesting marketing pickle. Wouldn't be surprised if they even pushed the announcement into late winter/early spring to steer very clear of Hurricane Ian and it's respective clean-up.
Some of the biggest brands from Florida are all called Hurricanes. Restaurant, resorts, sports teams. The coaster has correlation to storms but it's a moderate thrill coaster so it's surfing in high tide not hurricane lol..
Though high tide and a hurricane means catastrophe

Surf Coaster launch is a suave airtime hill. It's nice to be surprised by a supposedly covered layout every once in a while;
This project continues to be ambitious and exciting. The length of the launch track and that boop hill has me so excited. It's so unusual and satisfying to see LSM on BM track

There’s unconfirmed reports that the announcement has been rescheduled for October 18, a week from today.

I must admit that the more I see of this ride, the more I'm pretty excited and intrigued by it! That launched airtime hill looks very interesting indeed, and I am quite interested to see how B&M tackles a modern day stand up coaster!
Out of interest, do we reckon it'll be open by June 2023? I only ask because I'm in Florida between the dates of 10th-24th June 2023, so if it's open by June, then there's a very good chance I'll be riding it!

I'd be surprised if it wasn't open by then. I'm assuming they're going for a March/April opening especially with how quickly they're moving right now.
I see them staggering the opening of Serengeti flyer at BGT and the surf coaster about a month apart. I see pass holder previews for the swing in February -April and ride open in May. Shortly thereafter same thing for surf coaster
SeaWorld is open 365 days a year.I've just been looking at SeaWorld's opening dates to try to find a rhythm like most other parks, thinking June etc., to tie in with their busy periods.
But, they literally range from February - October
