THE THRILL OF THE CHILL: SeaWorld Orlando prepares for Arctic adventure

SeaWorld Orlando has unveiled plans for its latest attraction, set to open in Spring 2025: the world’s first-of-its-kind Arctic flying theatre. The new experience will invite guests to soar over icy landscapes, dive beneath frozen waters, and come face-to-face with some of the planet’s most magnificent creatures – from beluga whales to orcas and walruses.

It’s also all indoors, with a minimum height requirement of just 39 inches, ensuring the whole family can embark on the 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,” says SeaWorld.

Thanks to custom filming equipment specifically created for this project, an 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.
