Airtimes Launch Duration
This thing is a great family-thrill type ride! There's that one S-hill with some really wild whip and airtime combo for no reason — with the turn after the second launch also being very whippy — and the launches are surprisingly punchy, but other than that, the coaster maintains its pace nicely for a family coaster. You get some very light float, and the ride is just plain fun! Great addition to this park.

Lap Bar Launch
Great launch. Lap bar was hefty but comfortable. Felt safe and enjoyed the ride.

Airtimes Comfort Fun
Great family launch coaster, good whip, airtime, and comfortable seats. If only the launches weren’t forceless.
-
Location Duration
It's a very fun launch coaster. Not too intense but it gets the job done. You get an enhanced sense of speed with low to the ground turns and quick pops of airtime. The launch itself does crawl up to speed but it's ok. It's an overall good ride.

Theming Fun Smoothness
Nice launches and layout, even if they’re not too powerful/forceful they’re fun. Very nice effects in the tunnel at the start, and nice trains.

Airtimes Location Comfort Too short Theming Intensity
Fun ride! Bit short and it's a family coaster, but the lap bar is comfortable. Also, surprising airtime! It could be a bit more intense tho.

Airtimes Fun Duration
One of the most fun and enjoyable rides that I've ridden, and this ride also has a really great S hill, giving great ejector and snap simultaneously.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun Theming
Its a great little ride at Seaworld. Definitely a nice surprise and definitely rides better than the povs. The airtimes are nice and its just overall pretty fun. My only gripe with the ride is they got lazy with the theming after the 1st half. I would definitely have loved it more with water and better theming on the ground.

Airtimes Theming Fun
This ride is cool. The theming is great with a beautiful entrance sign, an aquarium with rays in the queue, some nice tropical landscaping, rays painted on the station ceiling, and the pre-launch effects tunnel. Operations are always on point. The trains are also beautiful and super comfortable. The best seat for airtime is Row 9 (least obstructed view in the back) and the best for the launch is the front. The lap bars do come down but are not noticeable until you hit the final brakes. The pre-show tunnel is cool and immersive with upbeat music, and the tunnel effects are cool. The launches also have some punch. There are several ejector moments, notably the first drop after the 1st launch and the two last twists in the second half. The first camelback gives some nice floater. Several of the turns are also very forceful for what it is. The biggest downside is the MCBR. It’s oddly forceful and messes up the pacing. The queue is also very long. Marathoning this when the park is dead can be a workout when there is no shortcut. Other than that, this is a fantastic coaster. Night rides are also awesome! UPDATE JAN 2024: They’ve updated/replaced the projectors in the tunnel so the effects are brighter than ever.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Layout
This ride is so good. The first launch is great, more intense then I had thought. The rest of the ride is just full of great pops of airtime, another launch, an insane switchback hill, which also delivers great lateral ejector. This makes me very excited about other MACK launch coasters like Copperhead Strike. This is a must-do ride at Seaworld.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun Intensity
This ride may not look like much but it’s super fun! This ride is not the most intense, it’s just pure fun! It has great airtime moments and is glass smooth aswell.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Smoothness
This unassuming Mack multilaunch coaster is one of the stars of the park as it currently stands. Some great laterals. Several strong pops of airtime. A super smooth ride. Some fun theming. I had a blast on Manta.

Airtimes Launch Ejectors Rattle
It has some great ejector airtime and has a very forceful launch, but it did have a little rattle, still fun though.
-
Airtimes Theming Launch
Smooth as butter. Extremely comfy seats and restraints. Great launches. Nice curves. Unexpected big airtime moments. Beautifully themed. Mack rides, please build more awesome launch coasters like this stateside.
-
Theming Fun Launch
The S hill provides great ejector. However, the rest of this ride is just meandering turns with weak positive g moments sprinkled in... not much sense of speed cuz it only goes 40 mph. I appreciate the theming though. As a family coaster though, this is definitely perfect. However, if you want thrills, just go ride Electric Eel in the same park

Airtimes Comfort Launch Dead spots
Fun family coaster. A bit overhyped, but overall really enjoyed. Ranks number 2 in the park, and number 19 in my rankings.

Theming Nice surprise! Intensity
This is a great family launch coaster and a great fit for the park. The layout, including the launch, was not very forceful, but that was to be expected. One thing that stood out is the "open-air" feeling to the seating position, which adds to the fun factor. The theming around the launch area is nice, and expected for SeaWorld Standards. This is a solid addition to the lineup.

Airtimes Nice surprise! Fun
Super fun and decently forceful especially for a family coaster. I find the front seat has better airtime than the back surprisingly and is just all around a fun ride.
