Mako is the roller coaster that made me overcome my fear of letting go of the restraints. Because of it, I now ride every coaster with my hands up. It's just such a good ride. I always make sure to ride it more than 5 times every time I visit. Back row all day!!
Nice!
This roller coaster should win an award for having the most POVs on RUclips! 🤣 All jokes aside this was a great review and I regret not riding it when I visited SeaWorld Orlando last
SeaWorld has one of the most open policies on GoPros.
Yay, I love Mako so much! It's very rare for me to give such high praise to a B&M, but that just shows how amazing this ride is. That 5-second sustained airtime hill is one of my favorite airtime moments on any coaster, especially in the front, as it's more sustained there. It's my favorite in Florida for now, and if not for my strange love of wing coasters, it would be my favorite B&M.
Understandable!
I just want to say man that I love your style of reviews.
Thanks!
This coaster looks amazing, I can feel the airtime from the POVs I've seen. Great vid
That's one of the best parts about chest mounts.
Sea World Orlando needed this. Not just cause of blackfish but they needed more airtime at that park and boy they sure got it. What an absolutely fantastic fit, the layout is so good. The presentation is stunning with the color scheme, the themeing, and the setting of the first half riding around and over the water. The airtime is truly glorious compared to other B&M Hypers and just as sustained. And it's not just camelbacks, a speed hill, small wavy turns, hammerhead turn, and other unique elements that few hypers have. The second half looks like the only downside to this ride in terms of forces but it still shines in the presentation department.
It's an amazing ride.
during those two twists, I imagine that’s because of your movement away from the train’s center of rotation. Pretty cool!
Makes sense.
Rode Mako for the first time yesterday. Yeah it's awesome. I rode it 4 times. It was pretty much a walk on every time, no lines at all even with only 1 train running, was surprised. That very first airtime hill is just nuts actually. Love it so much. Great airtime the whole ride till the mid course breaks. WIsh the mid course didn't slow it down so much but oh well.
That first half is awesome.
The point about the 7 car hypers being more consistent across the train is true, ride this thing in the middle to appreciate the perfect way it sustains airtime for as long as possible over those 3 untrimmed straight hills. Very unique feeling especially with no seatbelt
The airtime is fantastic.
Thus far the only B&M Hyper I've been on is Raging Bull - but I hope to get on more soon. Two weeks from today, I'll be at King's Island for the first time - Orion and Diamondback look solid. Good review!
Same here - I'm also heading to Kings Island this summer. I hope you have a good time
This one is much better than Raging Bull in my opinion.
Personally, I thought Nitro was so much better. But I understand why someone would like this. Awesome job!
Nitro has a better setting, but I prefer Mako in most other ways.
Mako was a huge surprise for me when I rode it in 2018. The airtime was absolutely fantastic! I loved the layout and the setting is great to. My favorite element is the wave turn where it feels you will be dumped out of the ride.
Glad you loved it.
This is my homepark and I love Mako! I haven't been on every B&M hyper yet in America, but this one is easily my favorite. Also, I usually have quick queue and I have always requested what row I wanted. Kraken only ride where they specifically had row 2 and row 7 blocked off for quick queue, but if no one is in the last row, they'll let you go where you want.
Good to know!
Dude, I’m the same, one of my Homeparks and my first ever B&M hypers
Mako looks so good, especially because of the way you describe it. It's also the furthest state from where I live (except Hawaii) and I've never been to either state. I've also never been on any B&M hyper, whether it has a drop less than 200' or over 300' or anything in between. All of that over-romanticizes Mako for me. Great video, thanks for posting!
Thanks!
Oodles of airtime is the perfect description of this ride. The first half as you mentioned is quite amazing, I just wish the ride sustained that quality air after the mid-course. Despite this, it's my favorite B&M hyper and sits nicely in my top 10
I agree. That's why I may take Candymonium over this for the US B&M hypers.
Thorough review of each ride element. I've only ridden the B&M hyper/gigas in the U.S., but have this ranked at #2 behind Fury. They do everything right on this ride. The ops are top-notch. Have only seen trains stack when there's a larger guest having an issue with restraints. On the wall they have an electronic seat chart that lights up green so it's easy for the operators to see when someone is strapped in sufficiently, speeding up dispatches. The end section of Mako isn't elite, but I'm still glad they made it that way because it is fun to watch that section of the ride from the paddle boats in the lake right below.
I haven't experienced trouble accessing the front row using Quick Queue, but maybe that's just been good luck (I get assigned on Kraken though). I've ridden Mako 16 times in a day before, and 6 times in a row without getting off (prior to noon, harder to do in afternoon). The quantity of rides per hour you can get on this coaster is part of the appeal relative to other B&M Hypers.
Mako "makes the park" in the same way that Fury does for Carowinds - like if Sea World Orlando didn't have Mako, there wouldn't be much incentive to revisit. Mako also has the Sea World chain's best restaurant right next door (underwater shark aquarium restaurant) and a solid rapids ride on the other side, making it enjoyable to just hang out in this area of the park most of the day.
For me, Mako blows Candymonium out of the water. Not just the ride itself, but 1) Candymonium ops are unreasonably slow, 2) Candymonium's merge point for Fast Track still results in a 20 minute wait, while Mako's quick queue puts you right into the station. Candymonium during early entry at Hersheypark is pretty nice though, able to marathon, gotta give credit there.
It is shocking how slow the Candymonium ops are.
the speed the ops for candymonium go at is my only issue with it but imo everything else makes up for it
I just rode this tonight Halloween 2021 at night and it in nothing short of savage lines were nonexistent and we got 4 back to back rides that makes everything else very tame I thought the second half only seems weaker because the first half is so intense and sets the bar incredible high definitely best experience and the ride at night just proliferated all of the rises sensations the airtime is really unnerving the first time since it gives you way more than you experience from any other ride. Pure bliss! If I had to choose to only be able to go to one ride for the rest of my life the mako is an easy choice I honestly have no need to go on anything else just perfect! Heaven on earth!
The airtime in the first half truly is insane.
Great review. The first camelback reminds me of the one on Shambhala at Port Aventura which I think is even more sustained. It's normally the first park I do in Orlando as it's pretty laid back, but has a stacked line up.
That hill is very reminiscent of Shambhala.
I have to totally agree that Mako & Candymonium are the 2 best hypers in the country. I rode Candymonium for the first time last week, I got 6 rides, and fell in love with the second half. Nitro isn't too far behind those two.
Nitro is a guilty pleasure of mine during Holiday in the Park.
I rode this for the first to time this past Saturday. I loved it so much, I got 13 more rides on it thanks to my quick -queue pass. It was incredible!
It's a great ride to marathon.
I really love the first overbank it’s so weird feeling
I like it.
Yeah, Love that Rough Feeling.
My #1 coaster for 3 years, until Fury 325 and Lightning Rod came along. It’s my “channel” logo and I might even consider getting a tattoo of it 1 day! Absolutely love this coaster! Front row is great for the speed hill, and following portions before the end. Back row is great for everything else before the speed hill; that drop is AMAZING, and of course the 5 second hill is very memorable IMO. 9/10 for me, haven’t ridden VelociCoaster yet, but I will soon, I know it will be better than Mako.
Velocicoaster is amazing.
I love Mako I went to seaworld last week and marathon that great coaster
Nice!
Also the back row makes it a completely different experience and it's the obvious choice for me insane!
I think I slightly prefer the front but there isn't a bad row on this ride.
Aha! This one here was a shocker/surprise because from the ground you can never see just how steep, deep and freelance you fall. It takes all of your stomach away and you are weightless. I lost my cell phone on it! I road Manta and my cell phone did not come out of my pocket. Next time I go I'll make sure I have a jacket with a zipper on it!
I always use zippered pockets to keep my stuff safe.
It's awesome! Just went on!
Sure is.
Good review! I love Mako but I still prefer Nitro to both this and Candy. Nitro has basically the same first half but with a double helix instead of the speed hill (which I much prefer) and then the second half is wayyyy better. Not to mention it's height and setting add more to it as well. Candy is super close with Nitro but it's also much shorter so I tend to lean Nitro for that reason. I anticipate Diamondback to be my favorite though, whenever I finally get to ride it 🙌
I prefer the speed hill because of my affinity of airtime, but Nitro does have a superior setting in the woods.
With the final airtime hill I didn't notice much of a difference between the airtime earlier in the ride
The earlier hills are much stronger for me.
I remember when I went on a warm summer day I used this g-force app on my watch, and it turns out that I got 22 SECONDS OF LESS THAN -0.2 g's!!
Wow!
My Current Rankings for B&M Hypers:
1. Candymonium 2. Diamondback 3. Goliath
4. Intimidator 5. Nitro 6. Raging Bull
I will get on AC next month. Based on how much I liked Candymonium this week, I think Mako will be my favorite or second favorite. I plan on visiting once Iron Gwazi opens in Tampa.
Mako is the closest US comp to Candymonium.
Great review mang
Thanks!
These new B&M hypers have B&M Giga Drops with the shaping
Sure do!
This is my most ridden coaster, and was the ride that helped me overcome my fears of coasters!!
Though i do think that Goliath at OG is a tad bit better, the rides that i got on it in the cold was great!
But mako is still godly
Goliath had a vibration in the valleys the last time I rode it, but I should be reriding it soon.
I got pulled forward today at this moment at 10:15
Nice!
I felt a bug on my lips on that final turn over the water today
Wow!
@@CanobieCoaster yeah it was shocking
Can’t wait to ride this in July
Enjoy!
I im thinking about riding mako but CandyMonnium might be a just as good Candymonium was a lot of fun
Both are great.
@@CanobieCoaster yes they are and they will be at the parks for at least 20+years
Mako is great,easily my favorite ride in the park
Nice!
I watched a cool video from Airtime Thrills he talked about unique inversions one of a kind I want you to make a video like that
Maybe! I'd be more inclined to rank my favorite inversions.
This is the only b&m hyper I’ve ridden so far so I guess every one I ride from now on might underwhelm a little bit lol (unless I go to Europe)
Candymonium is the comparable one stateside for me. The two Goliaths are great too.
Ugh. Omg. Why does everyone seem to love that about to fly out of your seat feeling? That's the main reason why I don't like this coaster. I've rode it 3x and can't get myself to ride it again. It seriously scares me way too much!
I love airtime. Most coaster enthusiasts do.
@@CanobieCoaster I get freaked out. If the coaster has over the shoulders harness than I'm good. But this one only has some flimsy over the thigh bar. It makes me feel like I'm going to go flying out of the coaster. I love coasters. But I prefer speed over that airtime feeling. Lol. Maybe I've just become a scardy cat as I have gotten older.
cool.
Sure is.
I probably won’t ride this because I have Diamondback in my backyard. I just couldn’t justify spending that kind of money for just another hyper. It looks fun but not special which is why I choose to stay at Bush Gardens for Gwazi.
SeaWorld is a great park anyway.
I got to stare at this coaster all day when I was at the Aquatica waterpark across the street, but I never actually got to go to SeaWorld 😭
I can see I305 from the highway when I pass it and I want to just hop the fence SO badly
Hope you can make it back!
I hope Knotts berry farm gets this.
Or a giga.
I agree. 2nd best in florida. And without having been on candimonium, I'll say best in the U.S. followed by SFoGs Goliath.
Candymonium is the closest to Mako in terms of power.
If Goliath was glass smooth, would you preferred over Mako
Probably
Mako at Seaworld: Decrease by 8%
Swarm at Thorpe Park: Decrease by 10%
Wow, why did Thorpe's attendance go down?
I have no idea
@@CanobieCoaster I think overall attendance in UK parks was totally going down at the time
I've ridden diamondback at KI but I think mako is better even though it's smaller in size. Idk it just rides so much better.
I prefer Mako too.
YES I could imagine another park that opened a major coaster and saw an attendance decrease... Cough Cough *Kings dominion* COUGH COUGH *Twisted timbers*
Did their attendance go down too? I only went to KD that year in the early spring.
@@CanobieCoaster I wouldn't say down, but I heard many times it increased attendance by 0.0%.
Candymonium is similar for the lift part then the similarities end
Both have very strong starts.
@@CanobieCoasterIron Gwazi is taller then Mako but smaller then Candymonium
Quick question: how many Pax coasters have you ridden? And are there any pax coasters that look genuinely interesting to you?
I've ridden Wild Train and Formule 1 at Parc Saint Paul. Both had more airtime than you'd expect for a coaster of that size. I'd love to try the Wild Train in Austria.
Ain’t the tallest and fastest anymore. But I enjoyed the ride very much Diamondback is still my favorite Hyper
I prefer Mako to Diamondback.
This is the only b&m hyper i have ridden and i am scared to ride nitro is this more intense
Mako has more intense airtime.
Can we have a Shambhala review please? 😃
I'd like to reride that one before reviewing it.
I’m so mad when I went on Mako I was still GP and stapled my self
It's still fun even stapled.
I love mako.
Me too.
Left side of train gang!
Woo!
5:55 I feel like you described the second version of Mako’s lift hill music, or the link shown here: m.ruclips.net/video/xszAWvk22AM/видео.html
I've only heard the one version in all my visits.
Mako or candymonium?
Mako if trimless.
What how did attendance decrease. Cmon yall this is a B&M hyper lol.
Blackfish
DAM THIS COASTER IS QUAILTY
I love it.
You spelled Diamondback wrong.
Diamondback is fun but Mako has more power.
These new B&M Hypers don’t look 200 feet compared to the older ones Candymonium especially
The elements are what matter most to me.
i see.
Great ride.
Mako is the best roller coaster ever
It's a great ride, but I prefer a few other coasters.
@@CanobieCoaster NoPE
why did you not rate it a 10
The finale isn't elite.
I think the 7 car trains kill the experience in the back row. Compared to goliaths 9 car trains it’s not even close. Goliath clears
I don't mind the train length.
"easy to marathon"
Yeah, until you ride it 30 times in a row (no exaggeration) like I did on my last visit... then it's not as easy
I've done it 25 times in a day I believe.
Every video i have watched of yours all i hear is flowjector repeated at nauseum. Dude, expand your vocabulary a bit beyond made up industry pseudo sillyness.
Sorry you don't like the word, but it's the one I often use.
I like your videos they're pretty good. Much better than most of the other douchebags with coaster channels. However B and M Hypers are all pretty much the same. Like I've said for years, you give people the Pepsi challenge and blindfold them and put them onMost people won't be able to tell you one from the next.I give bnm credit, Because just like in the ice cream community you need to have a vanilla. Everybody needs a vanilla and that's B and M. Nothing incredibly groundbreaking, nothing unique, most Innovations, and that's a word I'm using generously, are generally toned down copies of other manufacturers innovations. H*** their whole business model was copied off of their previous Employer. All the way down to the track... At the risk of being too negative here, I just hate all the credit B and M gets Because it's really easy to do what they do whenever other coaster manufacturerDoes the trial and errors and you just copy is the final product
Thank you for the kind words on my channels. I don't like to call other RUclipsrs names though. It's fair many of their rides can be repetitive, but they're usually smooth and I like the elements.
