SeaWorld Orlando's Future Plans

[UniversalRBLX]

New Attraction Confirmed

https://seaworld.com/orlando/rides/sea-quest/

It's a dark ride. Good to see them add more family-friendly attractions, but I really hope this is well done and not botched like Expedition Odyssey.

Word is it will use Vekoma’s suspended dark ride system— let’s just hope the budget for scenery and not just plush stapled to walls…

Probably best to lower expectations and be surprised later on.

They haven't even started on significant construction yet, so the turnaround to get this is ridicously short. My worry is that this will be similar to The Seas with Nemo and Friends which is essentially just Coral Reef props mixed with screens. Works for Nemo since the characters are recognizable, but not sure it can work for a non-IP based experience.

I wonder why they didn't go with something Sesame Street.

So it's fake fish, like the old Nautilus, not actual aquariums? I swear I've read two releases about this, still no clue.

Im assuming it’s sculpted scenery around screens.

What if it's a submarine, but it's outside through cheap sets with a TV screen game in the ride vehicle, and it's always broken? SeaWorld would never build that.
In all seriousness, the timeframe is very short to build a full dark ride in a new building and there announcement is very vague with no real renderings.

Where is this going in the park exactly? Do we have a location scoped out for it yet?

At least this Quest ride seems to be indoors, unlike some others of note.

 

[Wild Atlantis]

It's going to be in the parking lot and event area to the right of and behind Wild Arctic.

Something like this.

Can't tell the size of it just yet (or exact location), but it seems to enter at the Wild Arctic gate as they don't appear to be touching the event pavilions.
