SeaWorld Orlando Unveils World’s First Fully Immersive Arctic Flying Theatre – Opening Spring 2025
SeaWorld Orlando, has unveiled plans for its latest ground breaking attraction planned to open in Spring 2025: the World’s first-of-its-kind Arctic flying theatre. This new experience invites you and your family 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 you right in the middle of the action. It’s also all indoors, so rain or shine, this attraction guarantees you 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. You will embark on a 4:30 minute journey within one of two of the attraction’s immersive multi-level theatres, each accommodating 30 guests. You will experience the Arctic as if you 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.
Only at SeaWorld Orlando will you have the rare opportunity to experience a seamless journey from underwater views of the Arctic’s marine life to the outer atmosphere, providing a satellite perspective of this incredible and expansive region. This attraction emphasises SeaWorld Orlando's commitment to blending education with entertainment, offering guests a comprehensive view of the Arctic's vast and varied ecosystem.
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.
With the launch of this Arctic-themed flying theatre, SeaWorld Orlando continues to innovate and expand its line-up of world-class attractions, solidifying its status as a premier destination for thrill-seekers and families alike.
