Pipeline: The Surf Coaster

Pipeline: The Surf Coaster, or simply Pipeline, is a steel launched stand-up roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), the roller coaster opened on May 27, 2023. Pipeline is a Surf Coaster model and is themed to surfing, featuring surfboard-s

haped trains. Pipeline is the first stand up roller coaster built since Georgia Scorcher debuted at Six Flags Over Georgia in 1999. The roller coaster is a prototype, where the seats of riders shift up and down along the course of the ride. It reaches a height of 110 feet (34 m) and maximum speeds of 60 mph (97 km/h), and features a track length of 2,950 feet (900 m). The ride is located in the Sea of Power and Port of Entry sections of the park. History The roller coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard filed a patent trademark for "Surf Coaster" on May 28, 2019. A project at SeaWorld Orlando codenamed "Project Penguin" was revealed in January 2020 after site-work plans were filed with Orange County officials for a new attraction in 2021. The new project was planned to be built toward the front of the park near a pathway that runs along Bayside Stadium. The area had been used in the past for festivals in the park. Subsequent plans were announced in June and September 2020, which also confirmed the new project to be a "custom launch coaster" featuring a stand-up restraint design. Early reports speculated that the Surf Coaster model would be built at SeaWorld Orlando. Teasers for
