FIRST LOOK! SeaWorld Orlando Antarctica Realm Tour & Review 2024!

Time to get Icy! The Antarctica Realm opened today at SeaWorld Orlando and we had a chance to check it out. We saw our penguin friends again, explored the new merchandise store and bar, and visited the revamped dining area. Plus, we were able to grab a mini update over at the construction site!

You're welcome!

[@jeffowens7775]

The entrance area to go see the penguins is the same entrance that they had before for the old ride. Looks like the same video as well. Glad they kept that the same.

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

Definitely noticed they kept a lot of things from before, but still glad to have the penguins back! Plus, looking forward to the ride opening!

[@keiichimorisato98]

@@MidwayMayhemChannel honestly, what was there before was fine. i don't mind that they kept it as is. less money on theming needing to be spent that could have gone else where. and it looks like they did exactly that. im sure the coaster queue line might also be the same as what was there before, with a few alterations.

Great update Lauren! Thank you.

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

You're so welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@karinwoods1787]

Wonderful video, Lauren! You do such a great job.

[@mitchellries256]

I must be honest when I say that I still wish they kept Antartica: Empire of the Penguin, because now they have fewer rides to do when it rains, and I feel the same way about the removal of Turtle Trek and Wild Artic as well.

[@missvictoria1115]

The "darkness" is because they go along with the sunrise for the penguins to simulate their actual habitat the best they can. I asked the same question, found it interesting :)

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

Ah makes sense! Thanks for the insight! 🙂

[@missvictoria1115]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Just_Daz]

I love they still have the Antarctica music in the area

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

It was nice hearing that!

[@Brandon-qd2lb]

So you need to go through all those pre shows again for the penguins? That line is gonna be brutal I’m sure.

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

Line was quite long when we came back later in the day. Didn't see any option to avoid the rooms.

[@mmocken]

Is the queue the old Empire ride?

[@deldavis5457]

Looks like the show room before the ride

[@waitingforanangel07]

Looks nice, now it will be so much easier to get around without having to turn around.

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

For sure! Was quite the trek!

[@tinsote7176]

I hope they use Lauren Alaina’s song when the coaster goes into the final brakes

[@larissalayland3154]

Cool nicely job

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

Thank you!

[@josephchapple3486]

How long do you expect the weight to be for penguin trek when it opens

[@ThemeParksAndAttractions]

Great content again 👏 👌

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

Thank you! 😃

[@keiichimorisato98]

[@IronGwaziJoseph]

Is it still a dead end?

[@MidwayMayhemChannel]

You are able to walk through now to the other side.
