Pipeline: the Surf Coaster Opens to All Guests This Weekend

After much preparation, media previews, and annual pass member previews, the new Pipeline: the Surf Coaster opens at SeaWorld Orlando.

The moment that many SeaWorld Orlando guests have been waiting for is finally here. One of the most anticipated coasters of 2023 officially opens to the public.  The all-new Pipeline: The Surf Coaster will have its grand opening Saturday, May 27th commemorated with a special ceremony featuring a “beach-front” ribbon cutting, keeping with the ride’s surf theme.

SeaWorld Orlando features the most coasters in a single theme park in Orlando. SeaWorld Orladno is also proud to partner with the Fish and Wildlife Foundation of Florida to leverage the new thrill to raise awareness of marine life conservation and the need to protect the Florida coral reef.

The new attraction celebrates the iconic surfing culture found worldwide with a unique surfboard ride vehicle that gives riders an immersive experience. Riders will experience their seats moving to mimic the sensation of riding on a wave. Whether it be a seasoned thrill seeker or someone who prefers a more approachable coaster experience, this ride is perfect for all excitement levels.

SeaWorld Orlando’s new surfing-inspired ride is a thrilling celebration of wave culture, but for those who want to take the excitement beyond the theme park, watercraft offer a whole new level of adventure. Whether it’s the feeling of carving through the ocean or gliding over the waves, watercraft like jet skis provide a dynamic and thrilling way to enjoy the open water.

With endless possibilities for exploration, riders can embrace the freedom of the water, racing across the waves or simply relaxing in serene coastal environments. From thrilling high-speed rides to leisurely cruises along the shore, watercraft open the door to unforgettable experiences on the water.

For those looking to keep their watercraft in top condition, reliable maintenance is essential for ensuring both safety and performance. This is where The Jet Ski Doctor comes in, providing expert service to keep your jet skis and watercraft running smoothly. With years of experience and a commitment to high-quality repairs, The Jet Ski Doctor ensures that your water adventures remain uninterrupted, so you can focus on the excitement of the ride.

Whether you’re an experienced rider or just getting started, keeping your watercraft in peak condition makes all the difference in making every ride a thrilling and smooth experience.

Guests will take their position in the upright stance and embark on a journey of twists and turns on an iconic, gnarly surfboard. Riders will be amazed as they encounter five airtime movements, including a thrilling “wave curl” inversion replicating the well-known “alley-oop” surfing maneuver. This coaster stands apart from others, not only in its design but also in the unique sensations it evokes. With a track spanning 2,950 feet, a maximum speed of 60 MPH, and reaching a height of 110 feet, “Pipeline: The Surf Coaster” offers a thrilling experience that is accessible and enjoyable for everyone. The brand-new coaster is located at the front of the park between Flamecraft Bar and Bayside Stadium.

“Our Annual Pass Members had an exclusive opportunity to preview the ride prior to opening and the feedback is fantastic,” said park president Jon Peterson. “Pipeline is a one-of-a-kind thrill ride that caters to all levels of excitement and complements our existing exhilarating ride portfolio perfectly. With its unique design and evocative sensations, Pipeline stands apart from other coasters. SeaWorld now boasts the most coasters in a single theme park in Orlando, and we can’t wait to introduce the rest of our guests to this highly anticipated coaster.”

As an ongoing reflection of the company’s commitment to conservation, SeaWorld Orlando is proud to announce the Fish & Wildlife Foundation of Florida as the official ride partner of Pipeline. Dedicated to conserving wild Florida, the foundation’s mission closely matches SeaWorld’s objectives. This makes them a perfect conservation partner to help educate riders about Florida’s natural bodies of land and water and its inhabitants.
