The Great White, Steel roller coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio, US
The Great White is an inverted steel roller coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio where riders are turned upside down as it twists and turns. The track features five complete loop inversions and winds through the trees and plants surrounding the ride.
This coaster opened in 1997 as the first ever built at any SeaWorld park and became the first inverted roller coaster to operate in Texas. The installation marked a turning point in how the region's amusement parks expanded their attractions.
This inverted coaster design by Werner Stengel demonstrates the evolution of entertainment technology in American theme parks during the late 1990s.
The ride travels through densely planted areas of the park, bringing riders close to trees and creating an intense experience throughout the journey. It is best visited during warmer months when the surrounding vegetation is fully leafed out.
The coaster passes extremely close to trees at several points, giving riders the sensation of cutting through branches at speed. These moments create a special thrill that many visitors find to be the highlight of the experience.
