"BOLT: Ultimate Sea Coaster" will send passengers flying above the ship's top deck, offering nearly 800 feet of exhilarating twists, turns, and drops with riders reaching speeds of nearly 40 miles per hour.
The all-electric roller coaster allows two riders in a motorcycle-like vehicle to race along a track 187 feet above sea level. Riders are able to choose their own speeds, which will be posted after the race. A photo during the ride will also be taken for guests to have as a memorable keepsake.
"Mardi Gras will be our most innovative ship ever with some truly special features and attractions, highlighted by BOLT, the first roller coaster at sea," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said. "BOLT will continue the tradition of Carnival providing exciting new ways for our guests to 'Choose Fun.' We are so thrilled to introduce this one-of-a-kind, game-changing, exhilarating attraction – our guests are going to love it!"
Mardi Gras will be based in Port Canaveral, Florida.
