BGWFans Leaks SeaWorld Orlando's Project Penguin – BGWFans

Hey you—yeah, you. I know you’re probably planning to skip past all this text as you go lookin’ for photos and videos. Though I’d certainly prefer that you read the whole piece, I know it’s fairly likely that you won’t. With that in mind, before you get goin’, could I ask for just a couple […]

Thank you for the birthday present!

The ride Would of been insane

 

[CoasterMac]

Something interesting that was pointed out to me that I don't think was noticed,
The station features swinging gates in front of the train very similar to that of a Dive or Floorless coaster:


Not entirely sure what the implication is here, just thought it was worth pointing out.

It's also kind of weird considering there's nothing in the plans for removable floors, so I only imagine that the train the ride will have doesn't have a pronounced front end on it.

Well a surfboard doesn't have anything in front of the surfer either so maybe that's a clue we can use

B&M patent for new coaster train.

Could this be for the surf coaster?

We said the same thing about the stand up patents that were filed in 2020. Guess we won't find out until the trains get revealed or something like that.

I for one don't fully understand why they need to put a shock absorber into the seat other than to make regular maintenance more tedious for the parks.

Is it a shock absorber or does it allow the seat to sway from side to side? The side to side movement could be really cool.

Looks kinda like a floorless train seat with an over the shoulder lapbar conversion

That’s what I was thinking, though my mind went immediately to the new intamin restraints.

The only application I can see it being used for is some sort of shock absorbtion but the problem I have with that is that the chassis of the train already does that work. It makes no sense to me why they'd make the seat bouncy.

The quick cropped shots don't show it but the train itself is basically a wing coaster chassis (wheel assembly and spine) with a floor placed on it and the seats mounted on the wheel bogies. Someone I know is currently patching together an idea that they have that could showcase what the new chassis is capable of doing and some of you may or may not like it.

Awesome!!!

So glad to see this project coming back online! Easily one of the most intriguing projects in the industry over the last handful of years!

Land is cleared and it looks like footers are being prepped. I'll get more pictures Monday.

Glad they aren’t wasting time getting this ride built.
