Rides:
Kraken
A terrifying monster of the deep has been let loose on Central
Florida. Kraken has emerged from the depths of the sea, breaking
all records as the newest, highest, fastest, longest and only
floorless roller coaster in Orlando, it even plunges underwater! It
will take you to the heights of a 15-story building and turn you
upside down seven times, all at speeds reaching 65 mph! Named after
a legendary sea monster, Kraken is a massive, mythological
underwater beast that's unleashed from the depths of the sea to
take SeaWorld guests on the ride of their lives, lifting them
higher, dropping them longer and spiraling them faster than any
other coaster in Orlando. Riders' feet dangle as they sit on
open-air, pedestal-like seats with nothing around them except
shoulder restraints. There's no one to hold on to, nothing in front
of them and nothing below them, and only sky above. 54" height
requirement.
Ride Review:
Kraken has given Sea World arguably the best roller coaster in
Central Florida. Kraken is the tallest, fastest, steepest coaster
in the south (Sea World only claims Orlando for some strange reason
which makes us wonder if Busch Gardens has something planned? Maybe
SheiKra?). It is also only the 4th floorless coaster ever built.
When you are loaded into the train the floor drops down and
disappears leaving your feet dangling frightfully close to the
track, chain lift, brakes and anything else that could dismember
you. It only adds to the thrill as you climb 151 feet in the air
and plunge down approaching speeds of 67 mph through numerous
inversions, waterfalls, and tunnels. The front seat is absolutely
spectacular, as you can see in the picture below there is
absolutely nothing in front of you but air and track. This coaster
is the quietest and smoothest you will find in Orlando and as an
added bonus it is one of the few that doesn't rely much on the
dreaded trim breaks "yet". |

Journey to Atlantis
Get ready for the ultimate adventure
ride: Journey to Atlantis! Travelling on water and high-speed
rails, you'll be chased by spirits who want to keep Atlantis and
you for their own! You'll never know what's around the next corner
or the next drop, even when it's 60 feet, nearly straight down.
Journey to Atlantis is the future of theme park thrill rides.
Combining the best parts of water rides and roller coasters, and
adding out-of-this-world special effects have created the most
unbelievable ride imaginable.
42" height requirement. Guests 42"-48" must be accompanied by a
responsible person.
Ride Review:
Sea World's first "thrill ride" if you don't count simulators, this
journey through the lost city of Atlantis has lots of great visual
effects and it gets pretty wild after things start out calmly
enough. You fall from the city on a really steep, fast, and wet
drop only to be pulled back in and dropped again on a roller
coaster track....

called Base Station Wild Arctic. You'll then enter the frozen

Shows:
Odyssea
The wonders of the sea come to life with a breathtaking, mystical
show at SeaWorld's Nautilus Theater. Odyssea is a non-traditional
circus that combines high-flying acrobatic performances, delightful
comedy, whimsical costumes, dramatic music and fantastic special
effects within a spectacular set themed as an underwater fantasy
world. The dynamic, 30-minute show transports guests from the
surface of the sea to the depths of the ocean with a little help
from an imaginative and eccentric explorer. The audience encounters
an array of adventures, including an icy, Antarctic landscape with
high-flying, playful "penguin" characters who bounce, tumble and
flip on trampolines; Gravity-defying aerial performers who execute
intricate formations while suspended high above the stage; a
dazzling contortionist, balanced inside a giant seashell, who
twists and bends into seemingly impossible shapes.

You won't want to miss the Intensity Water Ski Show! It's a
hyper-competition between the most skilled athletes on the water. A

record-holding skiers from across America, heats up the water to
the pumping beat of high-energy sports arena anthems. They'll
perform a fast-paced frenzy of high-flying, heart-stopping action
that fuses the intensity of "big air" water-stunt power with the
twisting, turning, trampoline talent of world-class gymnastics. Its
mach-speed action takes competition to the extreme!
Cirque de la Mer
Not even the Big Top could accommodate the immense talent of
performers at "Cirque de la Mer" (Circus of the Sea), in which
athletic performers combine creativeacrobatics with side-splitting
comedy based on South American folklore. Starring renowned Peruvian
comic Cesar Aedo, the circus showcases gifted musicians, athletes,
acrobats and dancers who illustrate a series of artistic, dramatic,
amusing -- and always entertaining -- vignettes.
