SeaWorld San Diego Celebrates National Roller Coaster Day as the Coaster Capital of San Diego!

On By TimothyIn Sea WorldLeave a comment

• SeaWorld San Diego has five fun and thrilling coasters that cater to every type of thrill-seeker

• The ALL-NEW Emperor, California’s tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster is approaching its 500,000th ride since opening; the 500,000th rider will receive free single-ride Quick Queues for every visit*

• Sweet summer endings with free ice cream through the remainder of August

• Guests can now purchase a 2023 Fun Card for $99.99 unlimited admission now through the end of 2023

• Pass Members will receive a one-time Quick Queue to celebrate National Roller Coaster Day

SeaWorld San Diego is celebrating National Roller Coaster Day on August 16 as the Coaster Capital of San Diego. With the opening of Emperor this past March, the park now has five unique coasters that each provide something special for every type of thrill seeker, plus a variety of family-friendly and fun rides for guests of all ages to enjoy. The best way to enjoy all the rides again and again is with a SeaWorld San Diego 2023 Fun Card. Starting today, guests can purchase Fun Cards for an unbeatable price of $99.99, and get unlimited admission for 2023, plus free admission for the remainder of 2022.

A Coaster for Every Type of Rider

SeaWorld San Diego touts the name Coaster Capital of San Diego with five roller coasters for guests to enjoy –Emperor, Electric Eel, Manta, Journey to Atlantis and Tidal Twister. Whether guests are looking for a family coaster, high-thrills, or a quick way to cool off, the park has a coaster for everyone.

SeaWorld San Diego’s newest coaster, Emperor, is the tallest, fastest, and longest floorless dive coaster in California. Riders are suspended on a 45-degree angle before plunging down a 143-foot facedown vertical drop, accelerating more than 60 miles per hour into exhilarating loops, a tribute to emperor penguins’ amazing underwater diving abilities. Named after the Emperor penguin and its dive capability, SeaWorld partnered with Penguins International, an organization dedicated to penguin conservation and research that will focus on penguin awareness and the conservation needs of this special aquatic bird, to help spread the word. Since opening five months ago, Emperor has averaged 100,000 rides per month and is now quickly approaching its 500,000th ride. The lucky 500,000th rider will receive a free single-ride Quick Queue* for every visit for the remainder of the year.

Electric Eel is San Diego’s tallest and fastest roller coaster. Featuring multiple-launch experiences, Electric Eel propels riders forward and backward as they speed through the ride’s station house accelerating to more than 60 miles per hour in seconds. Riders then rocket skyward nearly 150 feet where they brave an inverted “heartline” roll and a twisting loop for an exciting feeling of airtime as riders crest the top before breathlessly returning to the station. The ride features educational signage related to the ride’s namesake, the moray eel with a moray eel aquarium located next to the entry pathway.

For families looking for a thrill, Manta is SeaWorld’s exciting, double-launch family coaster. It features a 54-foot drop and twists and turns that make riders feel like they’re soaring and diving like a manta ray. Located within the ride landscape is a 100,000-gallon aquarium filled with California bat rays, diamond stingrays shovelnose guitarfish, as well as many native fish to the California coast. The reef-themed aquarium includes eight acrylic viewing windows where guests can see marine life above and in front of them, and a shallow above-ground pool where guests touch and feed California bat rays. This hands-on experience allows our guests to make a connection with rays that may inspire them to project this amazing species by cherishing its ocean home, and the environment in general.

For those that want to cool off, Journey to Atlantis is a wet and wild water coaster experience on Greek fishing boats. Inspired by one of the sea’s favorite legends, Journey to Atlantis takes riders on an exploration of a lost civilization, where they experience an action adventure with splashing thrills! Eight-passenger boats take riders on their voyage, which includes a splashy, 60-foot plunge into a lake. One of the innovative elements of the ride gives passengers the illusion they’re not moving when actually they’re being elevated nearly eight stories inside the lift tower. 

The unique dueling roller coaster Tidal Twister features high-speed turns and upside-down twists as the dueling-train roller coaster accelerates to 30 miles per hour, riders twist and bank as if they are riding the tide along a tight, figure-8 track that includes dynamic Zero-G roll at the center section. Two trains holding 16 passengers each load at opposite ends of the figure-8 and cross in the center, with guests facing both forward and backward on the trains. A lower-height requirement of 48 inches makes this attraction a perfect ride for younger guests and families. Tidal Twister is adjacent to touch pools, the perfect location to spotlight SeaWorld’s continuing commitment to conservation awareness and action, focusing on sustainable aquaculture and coral reef protection. Tidal Twister is set to reopen in late August.

In addition to the thrills of coasters, guests of all ages can fill their day splashing, swinging, spinning, and enjoying many of the family-friendly rides located throughout the park. Fan-favorites and SeaWorld landmarks, Skytower and Bayside Skyride take passengers high above SeaWorld for beautiful views of Mission Bay. Guests can opt to make a splash and cool off on Shipwreck Rapids or spin round and round on Riptide Rescue. For kid-friendly fun, families are invited to enjoy Tentacle Twirl, Sea Dragon Drop, Octarock and Aqua Scout, plus Elmo’s Flying Fish, Oscar’s Rockin’ Eel, and Abby’s Sea Star Spin located in Sesame Street® Bay of Play!

SeaWorld guests are encouraged to take the Coaster Challenge and ride all participating rides in one day and share the fun on their social media using #SeaWorldSanDiego and #CoasterCapitalSD.

SeaWorld San Diego and Mike Hess Brewing Create a New Limited Release   Emperor Hazy IPA to Celebrate California’s Newest, Tallest and Fastest Dive Coaster, Emperor Opening March 12th!

On By TimothyIn Sea WorldLeave a comment
  • Emperor Hazy IPA available only at SeaWorld San Diego 
  • A portion of Emperor Hazy IPA proceeds will be donated to Penguins International
  • Dive into pineapple, mango and citrus hop flavors that will throw your senses for a loop
  • Emperor is the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in California, as well as the only floorless dive coaster in the state
  • One of the most anticipated rides of 2022 by USA Today

SeaWorld San Diego and Mike Hess Brewing are tapping into something refreshing by creating a custom IPA that celebrates one of the most anticipated coasters of 2022 by USA Today, Emperor, the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the state, set to open at SeaWorld San Diego to the public on Saturday, March 12.  The all-new limited release beer will be available only at SeaWorld San Diego to the public starting March 2, the same day that Pass Members can start previewing the ride before it opens to the general public. In addition to the great taste, guests can feel good about their beverage selection. Through SeaWorld’s continued partnership with Penguins International to focus on penguin awareness and the conservation needs of this special aquatic bird, a portion of the proceeds from Emperor Hazy IPA will be donated to Penguins International.

“I am excited for the opportunities that partnerships like this can do to enhance the experience for our guests, and what a better time as we launch California’s first floorless dive coaster, said Jim Lake, SeaWorld Park President.  “This partnership allows us to spotlight the ride, the amazing species it is named after and support a cause focused on penguin conservation, education and research efforts. Mike Hess is a great friend of SeaWorld and we look forward to our continued relationship.”

Emperor Hazy IPA is a 7.0% ABV delicious and citrus-forward Hazy India Pale Ale, a relatively new style of IPA in which the vast majority of the hops added to the beer are added at the very end of brewing, leaving all the bitterness out, and causing two desirable effects: first, a massive, citrusy aroma from the beer and, second, an interaction between the hop’s lupulin compounds and the beer’s grains creating a smooth haziness appearance to the beer. Emperor Hazy IPA is crafted with water, barley, wheat, and oats, as well as Citra, Mosaic and Cascade hops. And, like all Mike Hess Brewing’s beers, Emperor Hazy IPA is crafted to reduce gluten, so even guests who are gluten-intolerant may enjoy this ale.

SeaWorld and Mike Hess Brewing have partnered on custom brews for the park since 2015. The first, a fruit-forward IPA was created with the addition of real grapefruit juice to their popular Solis IPA brand. The beer, SeaWorld Solis, was an instant hit with guests and after its limited time at SeaWorld, and due to its popularity, the beer hit bars and grocery stories later that Summer.  Grapefruit Solis was the number one brand for the brewery for over two years.

“It’s such an incredible opportunity to partner with an organization like SeaWorld, simultaneously an iconic San Diego brand as well as one so focused on their incredible work in protecting and preserving marine species, said Mike Hess, Founder and Chief Brewing Officer of Mike Hess Brewing. “The Mike Hess team is thrilled to be not only a part of the new coaster’s launch but to be aligned with another organization also doing much good. We’re very proud of this beer and hope it only enhances what’s sure to be an amazing day at the park.”

In addition to creating custom beers for SeaWorld, Mike Hess Brewing has been an active beer supplier at the park for over six years, participating in events such as Seven Seas Food Festival and the new Craft Beer Festival that debuted in 2021.
