Catapult Falls on-ride 5K @60fps SeaWorld San Antonio

This world’s first launched flume coaster features a vertical lift elevator that transports riders 55 feet (16.75 m) above the theme park before they come barreling down the steepest flume ride drop in the world. Angled at 53°, the elevator drop chutes riders into a watery splashdown at over 37 mph (59.5 km/h).

It's a shame that the splashdown is disappointing and the majority of it is a slow trundle through minimal scenery. But, the launch does look like a really interesting concept for future designs

@svenlakemeier 3 ай бұрын

The slow trundle is now the standard on any modern flume, sadly.

The first one looks fine

@hypnobearcoup2505 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I wish they didn’t put trims through the whole length of the drop.

@SlushysSecret Ай бұрын

⁠⁠@@hypnobearcoup2505I believe it was a problem with the weight of the boat which is why they were added, back before the ride officially opened and only select people could ride the ride went a lot faster down the hills, but I think they didn’t tone it down too much

@CarlileCoasters 3 ай бұрын

It looks amazing, but it is just TRIMMED to DEATH on that last hill before the final splashdown

@Kite037 3 ай бұрын

The launch has decent pull and they appear to be able to control the size of the splashdown. I got far wetter riding on a 75° day than I did on a 50° day.

Looks like there are mag brakes on the drop, they can probably open or close them to control splash size

Such a missed opportunity for Sea World to theme the hell out of this ride. I’m crossing my fingers that future models will be bigger and better; SFMM new project…fingers crossed 🤞

@MoultrieGeek 3 ай бұрын

Nothing like a super slow slog through unthemed chutes whilst baking in the San Antonio heat to get people excited. WTF was Sea World thinking?

@cheesethrower 3 ай бұрын

The idea is fantastic but the execution could've been a lot better. It feels incredibly flat for a log-ride.

We have this great idea for water ridee. lets go to walmart for some tents and chairs - thats our theming. We will add a launch feature but will have it only go up over like 5ft hill then drop in the water with no force... heres the payoff lets create a large hill to drop down but add breaks at the end so no one gets wet.... it will be a blast!

With the way that announcement was made so frequentely I realised bag policy in USA parks is so awful. Plus the lockers are such a scam. I guess it's a liability thing with how lawsuits work in the USA, but I bet if this ride was in Europe you'd have been able to take your bag on the ride.

@TheC0asterCraze 3 ай бұрын

It’s not US. It is purely SeaWorlds trash policy. They force you to buy a locker. Even at the Busch parks as well. I hate it.

@QDude24 3 ай бұрын

Bibberburg in Familypark austria is the exact same ridetype with the same boats and doesn't allow bags either. But they have free lockers before you enter the queue.

Q&A question How are you not scared of roller coasters

@coasterforce 3 ай бұрын

Hi there! Fun fact: several members of the CoasterForce used to be terrified of roller coasters. The way we all got over our fears is just by riding coasters and watching POVs. There is no one way to get over a fear of coasters, and it's okay if you never do. Just start small and work your way up! - Jack

It’s an Intamin ride. They don’t have the “Big Splash” concept in mind when they design these. Surprised they are doing that elevator lift system, it has failed in other rides they built and not a good system

They trimmed the drop to death so it ended up lame.

The concept of this ride is cool but no theming and a sad splashdown. It seems SeaWorld hasn’t had the budget it needs to compete with other theme parks especially at this one. Orlando will probably always be the best SeaWorld.

lame launch gimmick, boring slow water for most of the ride, cheap scenery, corny music, worker being forced to talk about the scam bag policy that for some reason is heard on the ride??? overall just really overhyped and mediocre.
