It will be interesting to see what the park does now as they have a very large amount of land once the coaster is demolished, along with the pirate ship and the reclaimed land."Sea Viper is being retired after bringing thrills to Sea World’s guests for 32 years. Sea Viper has been a wonderful attraction but there comes a time when all rides need to retire.
Sea World is constantly looking at new attractions like the $21M Storm Coaster which opened in December and there are several new and exciting options in the pipeline.
Our theme parks are ever changing to ensure we continue to bring you, our guests, the best possible theme park experience possible."
