What riders love
  • On several of the negative ones my feet were completely up in the air and I truly floated over the tops of the hills.
  • The airtime is so unique because of this your whole body is just floating in the air not touching the ground.
  • Ridiculously awesome feelings when your feet suddenly lift off the train and at first you think your flying off.
  • It's incredible that it took this long for someone to realize that standing airtime is way more fun than standing positives.
  • Pipeline might be one of the most surprisingly fun coasters I’ve ever done. The standing airtime is euphoric and it has surprising positives.
  • it's one of the few experiences no one can really describe too well, you have to come out and ride it. it kind of feels like your entire body is being picked up and thrown down, its incredible.
  • The launch while standing up is an amazing sensation that you can't get anywhere else.
  • The launch is surprisingly intense and got me every time I rode.
  • The launch is way more powerful than you expect it, and you literally float when you get airtime.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at SeaWorld Orlando

Pipeline is a great B&M standing launching coaster, I love the fact that the seats can go up and down providing great airtime while standing up.

Everything Roller Coasters

During our ride, we had about two inches of give in the restraints to totally embrace the multiple righteous airtime moments throughout this 2,950 foot ride.

Orlando Informer

the stand-up airtime is one of the most unique sensations i’ve ever gotten on a coaster, even though i knew it was coming it completely caught me off guard the whole ride.

smacd

Despite this being a standing coaster, most of the ride i was in the air with my feet off the ground.

Emily Mann

As an airtime fan the feeling of floating on this ride is unmatched and was easily one of my favourite coasters I’ve been on.

Jack Beal

It offers nice floater airtime throughout the train and again, it’s sustained too.

Canobie Coaster

A fun ride and a massive improvement over previous standups with a smoother ride, launch, and the cool aspect of the “seats” rising and falling.

Birb from not Canada

incredible ride, it’s weird standing up on a coaster while being comfortable lol.

smacd

I know that if you’re farther away from the track it’ll be rougher, but why do all the new B&Ms seem to have a rattle?

Darcy N.

But most of the second half, my thing was getting crushed (you know what i’m talking about) those bicycle seats hurt like hell, and the OSTR’s didn’t make thing better.

Brandon Gorgone

The turn and twisted hill both send you flying upwards just floating in the air and the roll is quite intense.

Chris Jones

The theming, launch, design and layout are all extremely well done and the ride has some really good moments of intensity beyond the launch, which was the highlight of my ride.

Sean Reardon

The airtime with the bouncing seat system PLUS the standing is absolutely so ridiculous and crazy forceful.

Anthony DeNight Jr.

The launch was great, the airtime was amazing, and I even grayed out on one of the helixes.

Nathan

Not the most intense ride but that’s maybe a good thing given the stand up seats.

Pedro Valverde

Not too intense, good family coaster.

Simon C.

This has an amazing fast paced layout with many airtime moments.

Thomas Cunningham

On one hand, the speed and launch are fun.

Rides And More

the launch is pretty fast and has a lot of force but if you like aerosmiths (its at disney) launch, you will for sure love this coaster.

@lolaa.is.better

My only complaints are that the few dead spots on the ride are incredibly dull and I was underwhelmed by the corkscrew.

Jack Beal

Awesome capacity, this only had a 5 minutes wait even when everything else in the park was 25-40.

Coaster Bird

The airtime was the most ever and the launch was exquisite, but they were only running one train all day!

Luca Ferratusco

Both times I was there they only ran 1 train and the ops are rather slow.

Noahidk
Worth the queue

This stand up coaster was so worth the long wait.

Millan B.

The line can move really slow, but it’s worth it.

The airtime on this coaster is like nothing else, lifting off the ground and having to catch yourself on the way back down.

SocialismDoesntWork, Captain Coaster review

I think that this is a solid ride, but the restraints are just not comfortable for me.

Basil Robinson, Captain Coaster review

The standing airtime is great and I definitely wish I could’ve done it a few more times in the 3.5 hours I had at Seaworld.

Kieran Deadite, Captain Coaster review

Orlando Informer, published review

The theming, launch, design and layout are all extremely well done and the ride has some really good moments of intensity beyond the launch, which was the highlight of my ride.

Sean Reardon, Captain Coaster review

I’d be satisfied if the only positive was the improved harnesses, but the ride experience itself was top-notch!
