The new attraction is marketed to guests of all ages, but the 48-inch height requirement will keep some kids on the sidelines.
What makes a roller coaster a “family” coaster?
SeaWorld San Diego last week debuted its new coaster for 2023, Arctic Rescue. The park is promoting this Intamin straddle coaster as a family attraction. With a track height of just 30 feet and a top speed of about 40 miles per hour, the track specs seem in line with that designation. Yet it’s a delightful ride even for adults, filled with fun dips and turns that should not frighten any but the most skittish theme park fan.
Arctic Rescue is faster than both of those coasters, but it’s eight miles per hour slower than the new family coaster at Tennessee’s Dollywood, Big Bear Mountain, which launches up to 48 miles per hour and tops out at more than double the height of Arctic Rescue, at 66 feet. It’s clearly a bigger and more intense experience than Arctic Rescue.
