Mako is a steel hypercoaster manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida, United States. Upon completion, Mako became an anchor attraction to the new park area themed to sharks in general. It is located adjacent to SeaWorld's previously existing shark attractions, such as the Shark Encounter aquarium and its attached "Sharks Underwater Grill" restaurant. It is the first new attraction added to SeaWorld Orlando since Empire of the Penguin opened in 2013, and the first new roller coaster since Manta opened in 2009. Mako reaches a height of {{Convert|200|ft|adj=off}} with a maximum speed of {{Convert|73|mph|km/h}} and has a total track length of {{Convert|4,760|ft|adj=off}}.

Touted as the tallest, longest, and fastest roller coaster in the Orlando theme-park market, Mako opened on June 10, 2016 to positive reviews from many guests. In 2016, Amusement Today's annual Golden Ticket Awards voted Mako as the year's third-best new steel roller coaster and the 35th-best steel roller coaster.

History

In April 2015, SeaWorld officials began teasing an upcoming announcement of a new thrill ride for their flagship park in Orlando, Florida.[2] At the time, the only detail revealed was that the roller coaster would be 200 feet in height and would become the longest, tallest, and fastest roller coaster in the city.[2] A month later on May 13, 2015, SeaWorld filed a trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the name "Mako" along with "Reef Hunter".[3][4] On May 27, 2015, SeaWorld officially announced the construction of Mako, which was named after the mako shark. The mako has been identified as the fastest species of shark in the ocean.[5][6] During the time of announcement, a simulated point-of-view shot was released depicting the ride's intended route along the park's lagoon.[7]

On August 17, 2015, the first pieces of track began to ship from Ohio to Orlando,[8] and started to arrive on site two days later.[9] On January 6, 2016, the roller coaster's lift hill was topped-out.[10][11] The first car of the train was shipped and revealed on February 16, 2016, with the car design exhibiting the face of a mako shark.[12][13] On March 15, 2016, the last piece of track was put into place.[14][15]

In April 2016, SeaWorld began showing a presentation called "Mako Rising" previewing the upcoming roller coaster in their Nautilis Theater,[16][17] and later testing began on the ride with the park releasing an on-ride POV.[18][19] Mako's soft opening was on June 2, 2016[20][21] with the official media day to introduce the roller coaster being hosted on June 9, 2016.[22] A day after, its official opening to the public was on June 10, 2016.[23] In addition to the ride's opening, a summer-dedicated event named "Summer of Mako" was hosted from June to August 2016 throughout the park and its sister water-park Aquatica Orlando.[24]

Ride experience

Entrance and queue area

As guests go through the queue area, various educational displays and a Guy Harvey exhibit can be seen.[26] The queue of the ride consists of a wooden pier, where the riders are situated under while waiting.[25] During the queue, guests take on the point of view of a mako shark as it traverses through preying grounds.[26] The theme of Mako's station is a shipwreck.[29] Before the ride's train dispatches, a panel located above the riders shows scenes of shadowy figures consisting of a group of sharks migrating forward with accommodating visuals and sound.[25]

Layout

After leaving the station, the train makes a small right turn to a 200-foot (61 m) lift hill (which is right next to Kraken's dive loop) to begin its ascent.[27] After reaching the top, it enters a 200-foot (61 m) drop, in which the train reaches at a top speed of 73 miles per hour (117 km/h).[27] Then, the train makes a tall, overbanked turn before it goes to large airtime hill, where riders feel a sense of weightlessness going over. After the hill, Mako enters its unique element, the Hammerhead turn, which is a tight U-turn to the right. Traveling over another camelback hill, Mako makes another airtime turn and goes into a small airtime hill. After it makes its mid-course brake run, Mako makes a small left turn under the lift hill and goes into another airtime hill. After it makes a banked turn to the right, Mako goes into another banked turn to the left over a part of the park's lagoon and makes its final brake run.[27][28]

Characteristics

Track

The steel box track of Mako is {{Convert|4,760|ft|adj=off}} long and the lift is approximately {{Convert|200|ft|adj=off}} high.[27] The track pieces were shipped on flatbed trucks from Clermont Steel Fabricators in Batavia, Ohio to Orlando, Florida where they were assembled.[29] The track of the roller coaster is purple with the supports colored blue.[29] The roller coaster was designed to have nine airtime moments and a third of the layout traverses over water.[5][29]

Trains

Mako operates with lead and fiberglass trains each containing seven cars.[12][27] Every seat has its own lap bar restraint[29] and each car seats four riders in a single row for a total of 28 riders per train.[27] The trains were designed with the physiology of a mako with gills on either side of the train,[29] and feature polyurethane wheels that help to reduce friction on the track.[30] They were manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard in Switzerland.[29]

Theme

The ride is themed to the mako shark. Similarly the 2-acre (0.81 ha) park area around it, entitled "Shark Wreck Reef", is themed to sharks featuring recycled art, a mural created by Guy Harvey,[31] and educational pieces about human and shark interactions.[29][32]

Reception

Mako has been positively received among guests and critics. Dewayne Bevil from the Orlando Sentinel described the ride as "breathtaking" and stated "SeaWorld has delivered on its marketing promise with the fastest, tallest, longest coaster in the Orlando market".[33] Marjie Lambert from the Miami Herald commented that the ride was like a "retro coaster" and mentioned "its design is reminiscent of old wooden coasters where the track couldn’t be shaped into the pretzels and upside down loops that are so popular in today’s steel coasters".[34] Sharon Wynne from the Tampa Bay Times suggested "it will likely to take two or three more trips on this coaster to appreciate all its tricks" and coaster enthusiast Jim Terry attending the soft opening had acclaimed it was the best roller coaster in Florida.[35] Arthur Levine of USA Today remarked that "it's more than enough to get pulses racing and senses heightened, but not so much as to cause tunnel vision, grayouts, or other unpleasant side effects".[36] Elle Gordon of the Irish Independent likened the "weightless airtime" as a highlight of her park visit and added it was well worth a night time ride.[37] Russell Meyer of Theme Park Insider observed the themeing of the roller coaster and its surrounding area was "excellently done" with the accommodating effects and music a "nice touch".[38]
