Following the first overbank is a twisted airtime hill.
The layout begins with a large overbanked turn.
The LSM launch contains a speed hill, providing the first bit of airtime.
The train rolls out of the station, ready for launch.
It also provides a new dynamic to the experience, with riders able to crouch and jump. Sometimes the forces of the ride lift you off the floor!
Previously, stand up coasters had a reputation for being uncomfortable. The surf coaster addresses this with a harness design that can move up and down during the ride, dampening any jolts.
The last new stand up coaster opened in 1999, and a few parks have converted their stand up coasters to floorless coasters.
Guests ride standing up on a surfboard shaped train.
Pipeline: The Surf Coaster is a reincarnation of the stand up coaster concept.
Infinity Falls at Sea World Orlando.
The drop passes under the entrance bridge, allowing bystanders to get wet from the wave thrown up by the decelerating rafts.
The ride culminates with a 12m drop.
There's also an atmospheric soundtrack on each section of the river, with drums that build up the further you travel down.
The rapids are some of the most dynamic out there, with huge deep waves.
From the station you drop through a sort of plughole.
Each raft has a name, from Discovery and Flying Colours, through to Sea Señora, A Little Nauti and of course Rafty McRaftFace.
A modern, temporary looking canopy sits over the station, suiting the 'base camp theme.
The queue is themed with expedition gear.
The ride is themed to an expedition of the S.E.A Collective, a group of rainforest explorers and scientists.
Sculptures around the entrance.
