Here’s the schedule for pass members to know their exclusive ride times.
Pipeline is a stand-up coaster, but SeaWorld said this one allows riders to adjust and move as it runs along the track.
With nearly 3,000 feet of track, the ride shoots up to 110 feet, curves like surfers going through the waves, and has an inversion at one point.
