The Great White is the first inverted roller coaster in Texas and the first roller coaster to be built at a SeaWorld park.〔(RCDB.com listing for SeaWorld San Antonio )〕 Despite its shortened track length, The Great White follows an identical ride layout as the Batman the Ride coasters at numerous Six Flags parks. At 2,562 feet (about 150 shorter than Batman's 2,693 foot layout), the coaster doesn't allow riders as much time to "recuperate" between inversions, consequently offering an extreme, forceful ride experience. Furthermore, The Great White sits lower to the ground, often deceiving its riders with elements such as "foot-choppers" as there are many trees and shrubs surrounding the coaster's track. ''The Great White'' is sometimes considered to be more intense than its Six Flags' cousin because of its added 8th row (Goliath has only seven rows per train) and shorter track length (2,562 feet, compared to Goliath's 2,700 feet. Its layout consists of the following inversions: *a Vertical Loop *a Zero-G Roll *a second Vertical Loop *a Wingover *a second Wingover〔(RCDB.com listing for The Great White (SeaWorld San Antonio) )〕 When ''The Great White'' opened, its queue line wrapped around a large-scale shark aquarium, similar to the manta aquariums found in the newly constructed Manta at SeaWorld Orlando. This was later removed, however, as the only people able to view the sharks were those waiting in line for the ride (Manta offers separate entrances for riders and non-riders). Nonetheless, SeaWorld's shark exhibit now sits toward the front of the park, just past the Dolphin Cove. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Great White (SeaWorld San Antonio)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
