SeaWorld San Antonio Sets Spring 2026 Debut for Barracuda Strike Family Inverted Coaster

The project continues the park's recent push toward family-focused thrills following 2024 additions.

Overview

  • SeaWorld describes the suspended layout as Texas' only family inverted coaster.
  • The ride features a 90-foot lift, top speeds of 44 mph, and about 1,800 feet of track.
  • A 42-inch minimum height is intended to welcome a broad range of younger and less experienced riders.
  • Trains will appear to skim above the park’s water ski lake with barracuda-inspired theming.
  • It will be the park’s eighth coaster and the third family-friendly addition in as many years, with annual pass members slated to ride first.
