SeaWorld Orlando’s Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin opens May 24

[Stu]

SeaWorld Orlando have announced the opening date for Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin as being 24 May.

Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin a new ride experience will transport families into a rarely seen, icy world. They’ll feel the majestic grandeur of the South Pole and see it through the penguins’ eyes on an exhilarating, first-of-its-kind family ride.

They’ll explore a massive penguin colony, including King, Gentoo, Adelie and Rockhopper, in an expanse that envelops them in cool extremes, both above and below the penguins’ icy world.

Adventurers will be able to choose one of two thrills levels to experience Antarctica – Empire of the Penguin ride. The combination of ride experiences include mobile, moving simulators and a completely trackless ride which are all theme park firsts. This will allow the whole family to enjoy the attraction at their own pace. Designers say each level has multiple variations for a feeling of unpredictability, just like the continent of Antarctica.

Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin will introduce a new SeaWorld star– a young gentoo penguin named Puck. The young gentoo becomes the ride’s guide and leads guests on an exciting journey through the dangers and wondrous beauty of the Antarctic.

Can't wait, looking forward to visiting it in October!
Will miss the old penguin experience though, the moving walkway that we all try to shuffle backwards on, and the fragrance!

I am SO chuffed we should be able to see this. Although its going to mean rearranging the plan. We are scheduled to be at Seaworld on 25th, but I imagine that the queues will be crazy, and wasn't planning on heading there until late afternoon for shamu rocks. Any opinions on how early previews would start? Planning on Seaworld/Aquatica on 19th/20th May, and would be ideal (for us!), if we could catch previews then!
