Emperor will feature a 143-foot vertical drop and top speed of 60 mph on its 2,411 feet of track. It's the 15th dive coaster worldwide from popular Swiss designers B&M, joining siblings SheiKra and Griffon at SeaWorld's Busch Gardens parks in Florida and Virginia. This one will feature 18-person floorless coasters, in a 3 row by 6 across configuration.
Passholder previews for Emperor begin March 2. The day before Emperor opens to everyone, sister park Busch Gardens Tampa, Florida will open Iron Gwazi on March 11 to all park visitors, while SeaWorld Orlando is opening its new Ice Breaker coaster officially on February 18.
