Although we’re not exactly sure what riders will see, there will probably be some sort of pre-show that informs riders about the type of Arctic rescue mission they will embark on. After exiting the station, the train will make a 180° turn onto the first launch track. One possible scenario is that the trains will be themed to a snowmobile racing through the Arctic.Īccording to this annotated interpretation, the coaster will contain four launches, as well as many exciting twists and turns. Although the plans do not indicate how the trains will be themed, the renderings depict trains that are very similar to the jet ski-style vehicles found on Wave Breaker. They will choose one of eight rows, and take a seat on the unique sit-down trains.

Towards the end of the queue, riders will cross over a bridge into the main station area. It is possible that the queue will be placed in the space occupied by the other two simulators, and it will likely present educational information about Arctic animals such as belugas, seals, and walruses as well as information regarding how climate change is threatening the Arctic ecosystem. They will then have to choose to either enter the Wild Arctic exhibit directly, or ride the coaster. Although there are no concrete plans for the attraction’s queue, park guests will most likely enter through the current Wild Arctic building. This simplified drawing shows a top-down view of the Wild Arctic station. However, instead of a SeaWorld Rescue mission over the water in a jet ski, this will be a rescue mission through the Arctic tundra. The rest of the coaster will sprawl into the parking lot east of the Wild Arctic building, which is currently being used as storage for the construction of Emperor, the park’s 2020 Dive Coaster.Īlthough the project is in its infancy, the coaster will most likely be an Intamin Family Coaster similar to Wave Breaker at SeaWorld San Antonio.

The space occupied by two of the simulators will be re-utilized for the coaster’s station and first launch area. If the project is approved, SeaWorld will demolish all four of its Wild Arctic simulators, which just turned 25 years old in 2019.
