Mako

The other installations, of course, include the Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, which was shut down.

but Candemonium at Hersheypark, as well as Diamondback at Kings Island, Mako at SeaWorld Orlando, Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure, Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America, Thunderstriker at Carowinds, and at a larger scale, Orion at Kings Island, and Fury325 at Carowinds.

And since then, the stock has been plummeting.

I know this is not...

And I, I believe that that was, they, they, they actually created a lot of the rides they created before they became BNM.

Um, so, uh, in addition, SeaWorld has closed Mako.

Um, LaRonde has closed Goliath.

Goliath.

133 are still operating, and 18 are the same exact type as the Goliath.

That's why they closed the Mako over here the other day, 'cause it's the same company and similar design.

The coasters have carried billions of riders without one reported mechanical malfunction.

Mm.

You would have to detach your torso from your hips to get out of this mechanism.

Well, that's...

It's interesting that you said that, 'cause I know that they, the same people that made this rollercoaster made Mako at SeaWorld, and that's how you feel at Mako.

You're not gonna come out, but when you go up at the speed and the height, and then you go right back down, you feel like you're gonna come out of your seat.

Every U.S. operation that has a similar B&M ride to...

Goliath has stopped their operations, including Mako at SeaWorld, which would be ones that we encounter all the time.

Yes, yeah.

Sorry, we're into the John Theme Park blogger world.

So John, we need your third, right?

OK, one thing before we move on.

SeaWorld has officially put out an announcement that they have closed Mako out of abundance of caution.

They have stated it publicly.

Here's another top story we're covering this morning.

SeaWorld Orlando has temporarily closed its Mako rollercoaster following Monday's deadly accident at Six Flags in Georgia.

SeaWorld says it's taking the precaution because Mako and the ride involved in the death were built by the same manufacturer.

Mako and Six Flags Goliath are-- they're similar types of rollercoasters.

They reach heights of about 200 feet, and they use similar lap bar restraints.

Now, Mako actually reaches 73 miles per hour.

Goliath reaches 70.

SeaWorld hasn't announced when Mako is gonna reopen.

Roller coaster enthusiasts are reeling as SeaWorld Orlando confirms a temporary closure of its Mako hypercoaster.

This unexpected shutdown follows a fatal incident at a Six Flags park in New Jersey, where a guest tragically died.

While details are still emerging from the Six Flags investigation, SeaWorld states the Mako closure is a precautionary measure.

Named after the swift shark, Mako stands two hundred feet tall and reaches speeds of seventy-three miles per hour, making it a prominent attraction now idled as safety concerns echo across the industry.
