Great White is a steel inverted roller coaster located at SeaWorld San Antonio in San Antonio, Texas, USA. Opened in 1997, it was the first roller coaster ever to be built at one of the three SeaWorld branded parks. The ride takes its name from the Great White shark.

Design

Elements

This is one of twelve roller coasters built by Bolliger & Mabillard that share the Batman layout - first seen on Batman The Ride at Six Flags Great America in 1992. The ride is about a hundred feet shorter than the Six Flags Batman inverted coasters, which leads to what some enthusiasts consider a bit more of an intense ride.

Trains

2 trains with 8 cars per train. Riders are arranged 4 across in a single row for a total of 32 riders per train.
