Journey To Atlantis "Water Coaster" POV (Sea World Theme Park - Orlando, FL) - 8K Front Row POV

Journey to Atlantis is the name shared by three Water Coasters located at SeaWorld theme parks. These attractions, while different from one another, tell a similar story of a trip to the mythical land of Atlantis. Each one combines roller coaster elements, such as chain lift hills and steep drops, with boat-based attraction elements, such as splash-down landings. All three attractions were designed by Mack Rides of Germany. The original Journey to Atlantis made its debut on April 17, 1998 at SeaWorld Orlando. It is one of the six roller coasters at the park. Along with Wild Arctic, it was one of the park's only thrill rides until the arrival of Kraken in 2000. The four other roller coasters came after: Super Grover's Box Car Derby in 2006, Manta in 2009, Mako in 2016, Ice Breaker in 2022 and Pipeline: The Surf Coaster in 2023. Journey to Atlantis features a small aquarium exhibit, "Jewels of the Sea", in its gift shop exit area. Inside, guests will find aquaria built into the floor and the ceiling of the exhibit, along with more traditional aquaria. During its seasonal maintenance in March 2017, SeaWorld greatly altered the ride's theme; all effects featuring Allura the Evil Mermaid and Hermes the Fiber-Optic Seahorse (audio and lighting) were removed. The musical score and sound effects that once narrated the emotional arc of the ride disappeared too, and the ride's score was replaced with a continuous loop of Rick McKee's original score (borrowed from the park's former cirque-style show, A'lure – Call of the Ocean) with celebratory exterior music. #adventureschmuck #rollercoaster #watercoaster #themepark #seaworld #orlando #florida #pov
