Seaworld San Antonio Is Getting A New Inverted Roller Coaster

Exciting news for thrill-seekers: SeaWorld San Antonio is gearing up to add a brand‑new, family-style inverted roller coaster, set to debut in June 2026! This major addition—built at a cost of nearly $9 million—will bring high-flying fun to the park’s northeast side, marking its seventh coaster and just the second inverted steel ride alongside the Great White.

🚧 What We Know So Far

According to filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), the mysterious new coaster (codenamed “SWSA 2026”) will occupy nearly 4,000 square feet between existing attractions Steel Eel and Wave Breaker, with construction beginning on July 1, 2025.

This will be SeaWorld’s second inverted coaster—a popular ride model where guests sit suspended beneath the track with legs dangling—joining the legendary Great White (1997), a Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) coaster known for its intense loops and speed.

👨‍👩‍👧 A “Family-Style” Thrill

Despite its inverted design, reports indicate the ride will cater to all ages, making it accessible for families and not just hardcore adrenaline junkies. While dimensions and ride elements are still under wraps, the term “family-style” suggests a balanced experience—fun but friendly for most guests.

This launch follows SeaWorld’s recent introduction of the Beach Rescue Racer, a kid-focused ride in the Rescue Jr. area, signaling the park’s strategy to appeal to broader audiences.

🌟 What This Means for San Antonio

• Regional Entertainment Boost: This adds momentum to San Antonio’s tourist appeal, enhancing SeaWorld’s offering just 12 years after the Texas Stingray opened.

• Economic Impact: A major attraction like this draws crowds, which supports local hospitality, retail, and real estate development—especially in nearby neighborhoods.

• Family-Friendly Fun: It brings more inclusive park options, encouraging repeat visits and regional tourism growth.

This new inverted coaster continues SeaWorld San Antonio’s string of high-profile additions, building on the popularity of coasters like the Great White and Texas Stingray. It reinforces the park’s commitment to delivering diverse entertainment—while contributing economic value and fun for the entire city.
