Expedition Odyssey: Fire & Ice

The Write-Up

The full story

Expedition Odyssey: Fire & Ice is SeaWorld's Arctic flying theater, lifting riders over polar landscapes shot on film in Iceland with real animals rather than rendered ones. The flight mixes tranquil footage with fast-paced moments, gentle enough that families rate it a park highlight. The ride ends inside the Wild Arctic habitat, where belugas, walruses and seals wait on the other side of the glass.
