SeaWorld Orlando has officially unveiled details about its new attraction, Expedition Odyssey, set to open in Spring 2025. The ride promises to take guests on an extraordinary Arctic adventure, blending cutting-edge technology with real-life video footage to create an immersive experience that will transport visitors to one of the Earth’s most extreme environments.
Expedition Odyssey is not just another thrill ride—it’s a pioneering attraction that pushes the limits of theme park innovation. With a state-of-the-art motion system, it allows guests to glide, dive, and soar through stunning Arctic landscapes. Riders will experience powerful ocean currents, navigate towering icebergs, and race alongside incredible marine life, all while feeling fully immersed in the Arctic environment.
One of the standout features of Expedition Odyssey is its use of real-world video footage. The ride will showcase breathtaking underwater cinematography captured by an award-winning production team. The team ventured to remote Arctic regions to film the area’s most iconic wildlife, offering guests a close-up view of polar bears on ice floes, orcas swimming through the sea, and humpback whales breaching—captured in live-action, not CGI.
After the ride, guests will continue their Arctic adventure with up-close encounters with Arctic animals, including beluga whales and walruses. For those seeking an even deeper connection, SeaWorld offers special experiences like the Beluga Whales Up-Close Tour, where visitors can observe these incredible creatures while learning about their behavior and conservation efforts.
Designed for families, Expedition Odyssey builds on the success of SeaWorld’s Penguin Trek ride. With a height requirement of just 39 inches, the ride is suitable for both kids and adults to enjoy together.
Jon Peterson, President of SeaWorld Orlando, said, “With Expedition Odyssey, we are delivering an experience that combines thrilling adventure with real-world encounters. This attraction is a reflection of SeaWorld’s commitment to innovation, conservation, and creating lasting memories for our guests.”
Guests eager to experience the new ride can gain early access by becoming SeaWorld Orlando Annual Pass Members. Pass holders enjoy unlimited visits, free parking, exclusive discounts on food and merchandise, and special benefits such as seasonal events, behind-the-scenes animal experiences, and exclusive offers on events like Howl-O-Scream.
