SeaWorld San Antonio To Close Shamu Express Coaster

According to Behind The Thrills, the Shamu Express kiddie coaster at SeaWorld San Antonio is closing down to make way for a new experience. Well… kinda. While the park hasn’t released the details, the thought is that they will likely keep the coaster and retheme the trains to have a new Sesame Street character theme, much like what they are doing in Orlando where that park’s Shamu Express is becoming Super Grover’s Box Car Derby. It makes sense to do this in Texas as well, as the coaster is located smack in the middle of a Sesame Street themed kiddie play area mixed in with other rides themed to Sesame Street characters.
