New coaster for Sea World Orlando?

I heard from a friend that Sea World is planning a new coaster that will end up near the stingrays area. Anyone have more information on this?

You can look on Screamscape or one of the other major coaster info sites. Last I heard they were speculating it's gonna be a B&M flyer.

With stretching Tatsu to be a dragon, this train could be stretched to be a big gray stingray. Makes sense.

^ Yep, Thats what they are going for.

And actually, there have been rumors of a water skimming effect.

Similar to Griffon and Sheikra. But you will be facing down, with the water just a few feet below you, and the "fins" of the sting ray will reach down to the water on either side of you, creating the spray effect. Could be a pretty cool/original maneuver on a flyer.

Really close splashdown with water that would be. It could be the closest clearance we've ever seen an invert with people on their backs skim the ground.
