Attraction Serengeti Flyer

I would accept that for FF even though it didn't look at all Irish, that's how good that is.
I'm sure this will open as the largest of it's kind. The screamin' Swing has always been a fun ride. I think it was the last real flat ride Cedar Point got. Still fun.
It definitely is eye-catching. Nice colors for the theme of the park though.
Curious to see how it compares height-wise to SeaWorld San Antonio. I was there one week before it opened, and I am heading back down there this weekend to ride both the screamin' swing as well as Dr. Diabolocal.

Experience the breathtaking thrill of Serengeti Flyer, the world’s tallest & fastest ride of its kind, when it opens in spring 2023.
I thought Serengeti Swinger was describing a person...
BGTB is marketing this as the "world’s tallest and fastest ride of its kind," though the stats are the exact same as advertised for Tidal Surge. BGTB told me in an email that the two rides are "sharing" those distinctions, but then sent out a passholder email blast which called Serengeti Flyer "the tallest and fastest ride of its kind on the East Coast."
San Antonio may have to amend their labels (see far upper right in attached photo) by adding sonething like "in the Central time zone" or "west of the Mississippi"...

Looks like they’ve gone the Finnegan’s Flyer route and decided not to give the ride any theme or storyline. (Cool paint design ≠ theme.)
Wouldn't be the only thing tropical fruity if they went with both... Good double-entendre opportunity missed!
Based on my visit yesterday, it looks like the only things left to do on the ride itself are the arms and the seats. Add in a week for a minimally themed queue, and folks might be flying above the Serengeti by late January / early February.
Looks like the whole thing was dipped in wax. Too much Pinkurple.
Same thought. The thing has gorgeous, ornately painted legs and the absolute most generic, boring, plain, budget-cut looking arms and seats imaginable.
