A mighty 200ft – over 50ft taller than SeaWorld’s other rollercoasters Kraken and Manta!

How fast will it go?

At its fastest it’ll reach speeds of up to 73mph – faster than Sheikra and Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa.

How long will it be?

You’ll travel along 4,760 feet of steel track – nearly a full mile!

Check out this video to get a taste of what it’ll feel like to ride Mako:

Where will it be located?

Mako will become the centre of a new shark-themed area, aimed at making you feel like you’re underwater.
