With Pipeline Opening In 2023 Can SeaWorld Orlando Really Claim To Be Coaster Capital Of Orando?

SeaWorld Orlando is transitioning from mainly a marine park and aquarium into a roller coaster park.

In the future the dolphin, sea lion, and orca shows will be a thing of the past, their massive stadiums replaced with the latest thrill rides.

Earlier this year, SeaWorld Orlando began marketing itself as the Coaster Capital of Orlando, with a list of 6 coasters that includes the kiddie coaster, Super Grover's Box Car Derby.

Now with the announcement that Pipeline, a brand new Surf Coaster will open within the park in the spring of 2023, SeaWorld Orlando is forging ahead with its plan for coaster domination here in Orlando.

SeaWorld Orlando Top 7 Coasters Including PIPELINE Opening 2023

However once Pipeline - The Surf Coaster opens, it will still leave the Orlando park 3 coasters short of its sister park, Busch Gardens, only a day trip away in Tampa, which currently has 10 coasters including the impressive Iron Gwazi, hence why SeaWorld can only claim to be the coaster capital of Orlando, and not Florida!

But, even in Orlando its not top of the list, with Universal Orlando boasting 10 coasters between Islands Of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida, and that's not including the under construction coasters in Universal's new Epic Universe theme park due to open in 2025.

Epic Universe will include at least 4 coaster when it opens including Donkey Kong Mine Cart, How to Train Your Dragon, a duelling Coaster with no known theme yet, and a rumoured Universal Monsters Coaster believed to be themed to The Wolfman.

Oh and how many coaster does Walt Disney World have?

Well, they are already in seventh heaven with 7 coasters already within its parks, although when Disney does eventually decide to open the under construction Tron, it will take Disney's coaster count to 8, leaving the self proclaimed Coaster Capital of Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando with the least amount of coasters in Orlando!
