Electric Eel is a launched roller coaster at SeaWorld San Diego, built by Premier Rides as a Sky Rocket II model. It opened on May 10, 2018.
The ride uses repeated linear synchronous motor launches, sending the train forward and backward through the station to build speed, until it climbs a 150-foot top hat. The park says riders reach 60 mph on 853 feet of track. The layout includes a non-inverting loop and an inverted heartline roll, the ride's single inversion.
Riders must be at least 54 inches tall.
