Sea World Orlando is home to a couple of very good roller coasters. They started out with Kraken, the first B&M Floorless coaster in Florida, then opened Manta, the only B&M Flying coaster in Florida. Now, recently opened to the public, Mako is the only B&M Hyper coaster in Florida.

I personally was not there for opening day, but I was able to attend the Media Event on the day before and I had multiple opportunities to ride. I will admit, when the POV was released, I was not entirely impressed as I was comparing it to other B&M Hypers like Goliath (Six Flags Over Georgia), Dimondback (Kings Island), and Apollo’s Chariot (Busch Gardens Williamsburg). The ride seems short and condensed, it seemed like there were only a few good hills and it seemed too short in the videos. I think I can safely say that I was proven completely incorrect!
