Great White is a steel inverted roller coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio in Texas. Riders sit in trains that hang below the track with their feet free. The park requires riders to be at least 54 inches tall.
History
The coaster opened in 1997 as the park's first roller coaster and the first inverted coaster in Texas. It was built by Bolliger & Mabillard, and RCDB lists it as the manufacturer's Batman model.
After a chain lift to 108 feet, the 2,562-foot layout reaches 50 mph and turns riders upside down five times: two vertical loops, a zero-g roll and two wing-overs. A ride lasts about two minutes.
