Background
Texas Stingray opened in 2020 as SeaWorld San Antonio’s Great Coasters International wooden coaster, marketed on the official ride page as the tallest, fastest, and longest wooden roller coaster in Texas. The park cites a 100-foot drop, 3,379 feet of track, and a 55 mph top speed across from Turtle Reef between Orca Stadium and the broader lakefront.
Unlike the steel hyper Steel Eel, Texas Stingray brings traditional wood airtime and lateral chatter to a park long known for marine mammal shows and steel thrills. Official materials lean on those Texas record claims and the stingray naming rather than a dense story queue.
Texas Stingray remains the park’s wooden flagship — the GCI wood coaster that gave SeaWorld San Antonio a different thrill language from its Morgan and B&M steel fleet.
