A NEW Ride That Rivals Disney’s Soarin’ Opens Next Week

If you love Disney’s Soarin’ Around the World, you will need to check out this brand-new ride!

Soarin’ Around the World

At both EPCOT in Disney World and Disney California Adventure, you can fly over vast landscapes and feel like you are gliding high above the world. It was once a ride so unique, but now there is a new ride in Orlando that will be parallel to it!

Expedition Odyssey is a brand-new ride at SeaWorld Orlando! Expedition Odyssey brings “unparalleled ride technology, breathtaking real-world footage, and up-close encounters with Arctic wildlife” in what they say is the “most immersive Arctic experience ever created”! You can see from the promo below that the ride vehicle is similar to Soarin’.

The attraction will take guests through towering glaciers, vast tundra, and the icy depths of the Arctic Ocean, encountering some wildlife along the way. SeaWorld shares, “this next-generation vehicle delivers an unparalleled range of motion, allowing guests to soar, dive, twist, and glide with the fluidity of ocean currents”.

Guests do have to be 39″ tall to ride the attraction. The ride officially opened to the public on Friday, May 9th. SeaWorld shared a video of how they obtained the footage for the new ride.
