A jazzy tune that definitely gets stuck in your head.
I must say though, I really do enjoy the music that plays during the second half of the ride. What still remains is a fun and pretty ride that unfortunately lacks any real substance. While the impressive facade, queue and sets still stand, a previous storyline to the attraction was ripped clean before I ever had the chance to ride. Sadly, Journey to Atlantis is a sad shell of its former self. Be forewarned though, you will get very wet! 5. You then go up a regular lift hill, through more rapids, and then up a vertical lift and down one of the biggest drops on any river rafting ride in the world. Things start off with a fun rapids section featuring some slight, but sudden drops. The theming is pretty minimal, however there is a lot of beautiful landscaping in addition to flamingos on display at the start of the ride. One of the newest attractions at SeaWorld Orlando is Infinity Falls, perhaps the best river rafting ride in the Orlando area. I do hope this ride reopens, hopefully with some upgrades that will really impress. The final reveal of the real penguins is impressive, but I’m always left thinking, “was that it?” We can’t forget that Walt Disney World now has three far more impressive trackless dark rides, so inevitable comparisons will come from that too. While there are some beautiful scenes, the ride is brutally short. The whole thing is just a bit unimpressive. Unfortunately, they don’t really do much with it.
Now big props have to go to SeaWorld for building a trackless dark ride, one that has a “wild” or “mild” option. The set-up for the attraction itself is impressive, however there are two rather lengthy pre-shows that slow things down. The arctic theme surrounding the attraction is some of the best theming SeaWorld has to offer, and it really transports you to another world. SeaWorld hasn’t said one way or another whether the ride is coming back or not, so for the purposes of this article, I’m going to assume it is (eventually).Įmpire of the Penguin really is an odd attraction. So I guess I could technically be cheating by including Empire of the Penguin on this list, as the ride portion of the experience hasn’t actually operated since before the pandemic. Read on to see where it fits into the line-up. UPDATED : I had the chance to ride SeaWorld Orlando’s newest roller coaster, Ice Breaker, and I have placed it into my ranking. So aside from those, here’s everything else at SeaWorld Orlando, ranked! I say main attractions because there are a few things left off this list, namely anything in Sesame Street Land, as well as the Flamingo Paddle Boats, Sky Tower, and Wild Arctic, which recently closed down permanently. Today I’m going to be ranking the six seven main attractions at SeaWorld Orlando. Welcome back to another “Ranked” article here on Laughing Place.
