🏄‍♂️🌊 We got on Pipeline: The Surf Coaster at SeaWorld Orlando!

This roller coaster is different from practically any traditional coaster because instead of sitting normally, you travel in a position inspired by a surfboard, with a dynamic seat system that allows vertical movement during the tour.

That makes the ups, descents, curves and changes of direction feel even more intense. 😱🔥

In this POV you can continue during the tour:

📍 SeaWorld Orlando, Florida, USA

🔄 INVESTMENTS
Pipeline has:
1 investment
An inversion means that during a part of the route your body goes through a position where the route rotates completely with respect to the normal position

🚀 THE LAUNCH

Unlike many roller coasters that use a chain to slowly climb a large initial hill, Pipeline uses a:

⚡ LSM — Linear Synchronous Motor

It is a magnetic acceleration system.

That allows the train to gain speed quickly and progressively from the beginning of the route.

The attraction also uses magnetic systems for launch and braking
