SeaWorld San Diego
Closed
Emperor at SeaWorld San Diego is a towering, floorless dive coaster that delivers a bold, high-thrill experience inspired by the power of penguins. After a slow climb, trains pause dramatically at the edge of a near-vertical drop, giving riders a heart-pounding moment before plunging into a series of swift inversions, banked turns, and weightless airtime. Sleek, open seats keep feet dangling above the track, adding to the sense of height and speed. It’s a standout choice for coaster fans looking for an intense, adrenaline-filled ride on the park’s skyline.
