In a short press release announced this morning, SeaWorld Orlando had exciting news for roller coaster fans as they announced that the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Orlando is going to come to SeaWorld Orlando in 2016.

The ride will break speeds of 70 mph, stand 200 feet tall and will be over 4,429 feet long, making it the tallest and fastest ride in Orlando.  It will also be themed to resemble some sort of sea creature.

The new ride will join SeaWorld Orlando’s other three roller coasters:

• Kraken, the 149-foot-tall floorless coaster that opened in 2000,
• Manta, the 140-foot-tall flying coaster that opened in 2009, and
• Shamu Express, a smaller coaster aimed at younger riders that opened in 2006.

More details will be available in late May but for now, here’s the announcement:
