Orlando Theme Park News posted these pics of the facade

Based on tweets It seems that SeaWorld is currently mixing/testing the TurtleTrek music with the componist Live in the dome.

Just with @JakeJackson at SeaWorld Orlando mixing TurtleTrek - a film/installation featuring my original score

When are we going to see the Soft Opening for TurtleTrek?

Since the grand opening is slated for Friday, April 27, which is five days from now, I'd bet this week is an absolute given. :thumbs:

Great photo, btw!

Unless it doesn't soft open at all..

Love the look of this and cant wait to check it out next time Iheadover there.

I will probably have to wait a few years before my next Orlando trip so that I can.....

1) Save up for the cost of the trip
2) Be able to enjoy the multitude of projects currently under construction (i.e. Potter 2.0, Antarctica, New Fantasyland, Test Track 2.0, TurtleTrek, etc.)

I Know, I know. It's just fun to hope for soft openings even just a coupe of days before opening. It's the anticipation of something new at SW.

Just exited Turtle Trek and thought it was great. It's a solid addition to Seaworld and a full review is coming later today.

I experienced Turtle Trek today, and I have to say... WOW! This was so much more than I was expecting. The technology was amazing, the experience top notch.

I love how in the queue they first hold you in the Manatee viewing area, then they do the pre-show at the Sea Turtle viewing area, where they do a great job setting up the show... then they move you into the Dome... and let me just say I was so curious and wondering how they were going to pull off the 360 degrees domed projections, and I will say they are flawless.

WOW!

I was at the grand opening of TurtleTrek this morning, and it was fantastic!! :thumbs:

Do they use the polarized plastic glasses or the dichroic glasses that are being used on Spider-Man and Star Tours?

 

[Journey_On]

I am guessing they are the polarized plastic glasses because they are not as thick (?) as the ones used on Star Tours. More like the ones used for Mickey's Philharmagic and Shrek 4D but a different shape.
