Orlando Marriott Hotels Thrilled About Theme Park's New Shark-Themed Roller Coaster

ORLANDO, Fla., May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Marriott hotels in Orlando are gearing up for an exciting summer season with the opening of the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster nearby.

Mako is SeaWorld® Orlando's newest attraction set to take park-goers' adventures to all new heights at an incredible speed. The highly anticipated steel hypercoaster, named after the fastest shark species in the sea, will take riders through speeding twists and turns and reach up to 200 feet. Opening to the public on June 10, 2016, Mako has already created a frenzy on social media — with the hashtag #NothingFaster — as well as the SeaWorld website.

The shark-inspired roller coaster ride is set to be an anchor to a new area of SeaWorld® Orlando themed for underwater predators.
