There are five airtime movements including a “wave curl”, simulating an “alley-oop”, a move that only the best surfers in the world can pull off. Pipeline features a 2,950 foot track with a launch of 110 feet and a max speed of 60 MPH.

If you are a Platinum pass holder, you can begin riding from 5/12 – 5/15. Gold 5/18 – 5/20. Silver 5/21 – 5/23. Bronze 5/24 – 5/25. And all pass members and fun cards 5/26. Annual passes start as low as $15 per month.

Also at SeaWorld, this coming weekend is the last of the Seven Seas Food Festival. Saturday night Ne-Yo will perform and Sunday night, Martina McBride and the concerts are free with park admission. Enjoy a great menu with Caribbean, Polynesian, Italian, Mediterranean and Brazilian offerings as well as specialty cocktails.
