I was just at Sea World Orlando last week and got a couple days in. Due to me picking up a cold and the high temps and humidity, we only rode each coaster once per day. Kraken had been my fav coaster since riding it for the first time a little over 18 months ago, but I wasn't as into it this time(but I haven't been that into coasters a lot this year in general). It's still extremely smooth and probably the best looping coaster that I've been on though. No lines at all at Sea World. Manta had like a 15 min line on the 9th and that's the only line really. Mako had a 5 min wait on the 6th. Otherwise these rides were walk ups all the other times. Manta was still real good but the ops there are just as slow as Pretzelman at Great America. Must be a flying coaster thing. I'm not sure the ride needs all the corkscrews, it beats Pretzelman on the variety in the course and scenery alone. Pretzel loops are not good with a cold.
On to Mako. Absolutely insane. First, it just dumps you over the steeper than usual lift hill, no pre-drop. It's pretty out there to be almost 200 feet up on the next hill where you're on your side. Every drop on this coaster has the most and best ejector air I've ever felt. Kills Raging Trimbrake in this regard really bad. It reminds me more of a woodie like Viper than RT. Mako has an angry trim on one of the smaller hills which isn't too bad. No stupid helixes. Instead we get some cool turns. Mako is exceptionally smooth, no rattling at all like we sometimes experience on RT. I think if the queue filled up people would be passing out from the heat even with the water fountains.
These Sea World coasters are almost too much in some ways(although these days I don't know if I could make it through several of our coasters in one day). Even riding them hours apart. None of them feel like they're too short, which is how I often feel about the rides at our park. However, if you're riding 10 rides in one day, you probably don't want a million huge airtime hills and inversions on every one. Sea World was just as crowded as Great America, it's just that maybe 5% of the crowd actually rides the coasters(and the crowd is almost all tourists). I guess that if one was to boycott Sea World because they have captive dolphins and such, we'd have to boycott Six Flags since Discovery Kingdom is almost the same thing, even down to having a near clone of Kraken. I wonder if Cedar and the other theme parks have captive animals.
