SeaWorld Orlando Unveils New Immersive Experience
This new revolutionary immersive experience will be the latest attraction for families and thrill-seekers alike at SeaWorld Orlando. Riders will embark on a once in a lifetime adventure to the top of the world as they are taken to the edge of the Arctic, known to be one of the world's most awe-inspiring and mysterious regions on the planet, once only accessible to the few and elite explorers. This breathtaking journey will dive down the face of majestic snow-capped mountains, weave through breathtaking fields of glaciers and plunge beneath the frigid waters teeming with marine life, coming face-to-face with humpback whales, orcas, belugas, walruses and more– all from the comfort of an immersive indoor experience that brings the incredible Arctic to life.

Building on the family-friendly thrills of the park's newest attraction, Penguin Trek, this new ride accommodates guests with a minimum height requirement of just 39 inches, ensuring the whole family can enjoy the adventure together.
