Another one for the park? I think it's interesting that Intamin sent some parts with a similar description for Georgia Surfer through all the same channels as this one at the same time.
Rumor SeaWorld San Antonio Project 2025: Zierer Force Family Coaster?
- Thread starter Mr. Porkchop
- Start date
Hi, as one of the guys who helped dig this up allow me to post some clarification.
We believe this is a new coaster project for three reasons. One, because it's a Custom Force Coaster (FC) while the existing Super Grover's Boxcar Derby is a standard Force Zero layout. Two, it is 62,754 lbs of new parts across 57 pieces. Spare parts shipments are usually a fraction of the size, even for a new coaster it's pretty impressive to see half of that weight in one import. We've been tracking rides for a long long time and are generally pretty good at deciphering what is for what purely based on numbers. And three, this is not the first shipment for this "Project 8558001". Some explicit Force Coaster parts were sent in way back in September, we assumed this was for the existing Grover coaster but it seems not. That is attached below.
Now for the current stuff that has come in. Yes it is Zierer, yes it is at SeaWorld San Antonio, yes Dyno Global usually caters to SeaWorld projects (among other chains), here's the sauce; Sea Wold Texas 10500 Sea World Dr. | See Full Importer History | ImportGenius
Going to step back on this one, thank us later

Thank you for sharing this information! It will be great to see a children's coaster with a more diverse layout.Hi, as one of the guys who helped dig this up allow me to post some clarification.

What intrigues me more is that it’s a custom force coaster. Could this be a larger model, more akin to the Legoland dragon coaster or the Morey’s piers one?
I hope it's a coaster something long and lots of airtime
SWSA might be planning on finishing this project by Summer 2025. So far, the only commercial project application that SWSA has submitted is for a restaurant project.
Project confirmed, track has arrived
Project 2025 is a go!

SWSA announced today that its 2025 project will be an indoor Sesame Place. It will be 291,801.69 square meters, making it the second-largest indoor theme park in the world, and the world's largest Sesame Street theme park. It will feature groundbreaking attractions such as the first Sesame Street dark ride in America (which will feature a RoboCoaster ride system) and the world's longest indoor roller coaster (which is a custom Zierer Force Coaster). Concept art has not been released, but we do know that the project area will take up expansion land and an employee parking lot.

If only
I have no knowledge on this project, it literally came out of nowhere
Thank goodness we finally have photos. Definitely looks like Zierer Force track to me. Wild that track is onsite but we haven't found any permits for this thing yet.
Given that SWSA already has a Zierer Force Zero with Super Grover's Box Car Derby, presumably this is far more a family coaster than a kiddie coaster? Hopefully...?

Glad there's photo proof now. Interesting that A) it even has an RCDB page, and B) that the page for this ride says:
Not sure where Duane heard that from, but since the shipping documents says "Custom FC", I'd lean to it being a custom something.
Edit- Minifigure Speedway is listed on RCDB as a "Custom" model. So maybe!
| This may be a two tracked model like the Minifigure Speedway at Legoland Windsor. |

Here is the website for Zierer's Dueling Reverse Coaster concept. I assume this coaster will have similar statistics (if it is like Minifigure Speedway).
