'''Mako''' is a [[steel roller coaster]] located at [[SeaWorld Orlando]] in [[Orlando, Florida]], United States. Manufactured by [[Bolliger & Mabillard]], the [[hypercoaster]] model opened to the public on June 10, 2016. Mako is named after the [[mako shark]] and is located in the Sea of Mystery section of the park. It reaches a height of {{Convert|200|ft|}}, a maximum speed of {{Convert|73|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, and features a track length of {{Convert|4,760|ft|}}.

The roller coaster was marketed as the tallest, fastest, and longest roller coaster in Orlando and has been well-received, ranking every year since its opening in the top 50 of the annual [[Golden Ticket Awards]] publication from ''[[Amusement Today]]''. It attained its highest ranking of 15 in 2019. The ride is one of eight roller coasters at SeaWorld Orlando and was the first since [[Manta (SeaWorld Orlando)|Manta]] opened in 2009.
