SeaWorld Orlando’s newest attraction, Expedition Odyssey, will officially open on May 1.
The Florida, US, park says that the new ride is the first of its kind and will feature real-world footage and close up encounters with Arctic wildlife to create an immersive experience.
Expedition Odyssey will combine motion, visuals and real animals to take guests on a journey through glaciers, tundra and the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean.
Designed to be experienced by the entire family, the ride has a height requirement of only 39ins, allowing kids and adults to ride together. The indoor nature of the attraction also means that families can enjoy year-round.
Once guests disembark the attraction, they will come face-to-face with real Arctic animals including beluga whales, seals and walruses.
Jon Peterson, SeaWorld Orlando’s park president, said: “We are pleased to announce the opening date of Expedition Odyssey, an adventure unlike anything our guests have experienced before, combining thrilling, immersive storytelling with powerful, real-world animal connections. The newest addition to our park is unlike anything we have ever done before and brings to life the wonder of the Artic in a way only SeaWorld can do.”
