Interesting-- B&M shipping to SeaWorld Orlando. Most interesting is the code for the coaster type matches no existing B&M coaster...
SC - Sitting/Floorless Coaster
MC - Mega Coaster
LC - Flying Coaster
DM - Large Dive Machine
D6 - Smaller Model Dive Machine
IC - One of the first 26 Inverted Coasters
IC2 - Inverted Coaster 27 onwards
FI - Family Inverted Coaster
SU - Stand-up Coaster
WI - Wing Coaster
This is coded "SF-A"
I was wondering if this was still happening with all that's going on, and I guess the answer is yes.

Does anyone know what the difference is between the first 26 inverted coasters and current ones? Or is that just a clerical thing?
Hmmm, could this be that rumored "Surf Coaster" we heard about before?Interesting-- B&M shipping to SeaWorld Orlando. Most interesting is the code for the coaster type matches no existing B&M coaster...

An first of its kind B&M model could be cool
I think it’s one of two things:
Option 1) A modified stand-up, potentially with legs/waist harnesses instead of shoulder harness.
Option 2) An inverse flying coaster, where riders lay on their stomachs against the track (like you’re “body surfing”).
Both would be a truly unique coaster experience, in a similar concept-breaking mold as 4D coasters where at their creation. It would definitely throw SeaWorld into the top of the “have to experience“ coaster conversation, while the ride systems thematically make sense with any sort of Key West beach based ride.
This seems...uncomfortable
Motorbike coasters seem uncomfortable at first blush, too.This seems...uncomfortable

A better comparison would be the B&M flyers, which can be painful on the anklesMotorbike coasters seem uncomfortable at first blush, too.

Also, the Vekoma motorbikes are not very forgiving
No way! I know betterif you think B&M flyers are uncomfortable I’m guessing you’ve never been on a Vekoma flyer. Woof.
