Matt 236 Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Has certainly been an exciting day for ride tesiting so far. Mako looks great so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 A small point, but what's with the awkward straight section in the dip after the first drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlesberg Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I have no idea, I always noticed that but didn't really care tbh. Nevertheless, this ride looks relentless. The mid course doesn't even looked switched on! Now I'm insanely excited for my visit this year!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan.B Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Holy Guacamole... One day I am going to ride this, and a good day that will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Now I'm insanely excited for my visit this year!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's the first I've heard from it. Â Looks a fine ride and am sure it'll beat Silver Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Out of interest, why do you think it will beat Silver Star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_sparks1 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 That's the first I've heard from it. Looks a fine ride and am sure it'll beat Silver Star. Just will it beat Shambhala is the question...Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk  Not to sound too presumptuous but I'm going to go out on a limb and say no it won't be better then Shambhala.

Charlesberg Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Looks a fine ride and am sure it'll beat Silver Star.  Just will it beat Shambhala is the question...Us people who have ridden Silver Star, Shambhala and are going to be riding Mako, it's our duty to make the final judgement...Is Mako better than Silver Star? (Almost definitely) Is Mako a match to Shambhala? (We'll find out later this year) Remember nothing can be confirmed until it is open and we have ridden it.

Benin Posted April 17, 2016 Report Share Posted April 17, 2016 Why does something have to be better or worse than another? Â Just judge it based on it's own aspects first, rather than with any expectations of comparison... That's for the post ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitchada04 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Mako had another media day yesterday because why not with one month till opening. This one was to talk about the rest of the "realm" and the queue/station for Mako Brian talking about the station effects. Some screen sequence will take place above and around you as you leave. It sounded quite cool.  All 3 trains were out. Mandatory geek photo. And some "It's very pretty ain't it" shots  RobF, CharlieN, Ryan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L7123456 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 http://www.wildgravitytravels.com/mako-soft-opens-at-seaworld-orlando/ Mako soft opened on Thursday! Read a couple of reviews, watched some pov's, etc. It looks so good I would go and ride it next Friday... If I had money, plane tickets, park tickets, accommodation, transport :/ . I must wait patiently and stay calm... Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It does look cool, seen a couple of people say it's killed by trims at one point though. Hopefully going to go test it out today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cal Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 It does look very good, but like Ryan said it does look like it hits that first trim pretty hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMachine Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Literally just soft opened and we're in Aquatica today. Will be ready and waiting tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Mako is really fun! There's a little trim on the second half which kills it a little, but apart from this its great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMachine Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Very fun ride, worth waiting in the sun for it. Rates better than Silver Star imo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark9 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 It's really refreshing for some of the first riders to be not so over the top in their positivity. Thanks you two L7123456 and CharlieN 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
