Prepare thyselves for SeaWorld posts soon! I've ridden Journey to Atlantis, Mako, and Manta so far and I can't wait to get on everything else!!!

Today has been absolutely wonderful. I got to experience a bunch of new kinds of roller coasters that I've never gotten the chance to go on until today (water, flying, floorless, surf/stand-up), which I qualify as an absolute win! My day at SeaWorld Orlando has been a blast, and I can't wait for tomorrow at Busch Gardens Tampa!
I'm really sad that I didn't get more/better pictures of Mako - SeaWorld Orlando's B&M Hyper Coaster - but here's what I do have! It's a beautiful coaster with a multi-colored track and unique seven-car trains, the front of which looks like a shark head. Believe it or not, Mako was actually my favorite coaster at SeaWorld! The B&M Hyper! My favorite! Believe me, I was shocked too!
I think what sets this coaster apart from Diamondback and Orion is the layout. It's as though it's the two of them combined. You have the first section that's like Diamondback with massive camelback airtime hills and a horseshoe turn taking you back through the L-shaped out-and-back layout (around a lake!), and then you have the section after the midcourse break run that's still speedy, but also low to the ground, taking you around more forceful sweeping turns like on Orion, ending it off on a helix like the both of them. It was so much fun!
And interestingly enough, I never felt nervous when I was in line! Maybe it's just Orion and Diamondback that make me nervous then...
