SAN ANTONIO, Texas – SeaWorld San Antonio is getting two new thrilling rides for the 2020 season, which kicks off Saturday.
The Texas Stingray reaches speeds of up to 55 mph and is one of the tallest, fastest and longest wooden roller coasters in Texas.
The new coster includes a 100-foot drop and 100-foot-long sensory-bending tunnel, and SeaWorld annual pass members can get exclusive ride times during opening weekend. The ride will be open to everyone on Feb. 29, according to a press release.
Texas Stingray will be located across from the Turtle Reef exhibit between Orca Stadium and the Rio Loco river rapids ride.
