SeaWorld Orlando, renowned for its impressive selection of thrilling and unique rides, has unveiled plans for its latest groundbreaking attraction set to open in Spring 2025: the World’s first-of-its-kind Arctic flying theatre. This new experience invites families to soar over icy landscapes, dive beneath frozen waters and come face-to-face with some of the planet’s most magnificent creatures. From majestic beluga whales to awe-inspiring orcas and walruses, this adventure puts riders right in the middle of the action. It’s also all indoors, so rain or shine, this attraction guarantees a cool, thrilling escape for the entire family all year round. 

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. Riders will embark on this 4:30 minute journey within one of two of the attraction’s immersive multi-level theatres, each accommodating 30 guests. They will experience the Arctic as if they were truly there, witnessing jaw-dropping visuals both in the air and underwater, including the stunning Aurora Borealis and remote, untouched areas of the Arctic. 

This attraction emphasizes SeaWorld Orlando’s commitment to blending education with entertainment, offering guests a comprehensive view of the Arctic’s vast and varied ecosystem. This indoor immersive flying theatre experience reinforces their commitment to education, animal care and research, according to SeaWorld Orlando President Jon Peterson. Guests will find themselves in the awe-inspiring wonder of one of the world’s most remote places, face-to-face with some of those very animals found within the Arctic such as beluga whales, walruses and more.

Thanks to custom filming equipment specifically created for this project, the award-winning production team was able to film in some of the most remote parts of the Arctic, capturing its diverse environment in stunning detail. From lush, green landscapes that challenge the typical perceptions of the Arctic to the snow-capped vistas and crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, guests will be transported to locations that are otherwise inaccessible to most. 

This new attraction will be another family-friendly attraction added to the park. It will have a minimum height requirement of only 39 inches and a run time of 4 minutes and 30 seconds. The experience will have two immersive multi-level theaters, each accommodating 30 guests.

SeaWorld Orlando annual passholders will have the chance to experience the brand-new attraction before it is open to the public. This groundbreaking attraction will open to the general public in the Spring of 2025. The annual pass program is structured in a guest-friendly way that allows visitors to choose the pass, the benefits and the parks that best fit their needs. 

With the launch of this Arctic-themed flying theatre, SeaWorld Orlando continues to innovate and expand its lineup of world-class attractions, solidifying its status as a premier destination for thrill-seekers and families alike.
