Akbar! I literally just watched this video last night. The nostalgia was REAL.
Fun fact
Antarctica Ride is closed
Turtle Trek's theater was on loop, now closed
San Diego's Submarine sh*t show is now closed
This all was an interesting era for them
Since then they've re-corrected course, we've gotten
Sesame Land, Infinity Falls, Texas Stingray Roadhouse Coaster, Ice Breaker (kinda), Mako, Emperor (kinda), Tidal Twister, and Electric Eel
Bottom line, we're better than we were and the investments in the last few years have been some of the strongest
Good riddance Antarctica
I hadn't heard this...But in all reality, the Wild Arctic ride system is super old..as is the ride film..it being replaced with some kind of flying theater or Sesame Arctic Dark ride would be funIf I recall for the case of Wild Arctic, @RollermanDan and Lance mentioned in the past, that SeaWorld was looking to replace Wild Arctic with a flying theater of some kind. Perhaps they may be trying to shuffle up the timeline, due to the pandemic?
I feel like it wouldn't be terribly difficult to put a busbar and cheaper ride vehicles in AntarcticaAntarctica can be saved with a layover on the ride portion. Wild Arctic... I think that's heading out to make room for more Sesame Street.

Not sure if an omnimover could work in there, but I could see that being fine too
It seems like throwing a little money at it would make it a charming little ride to see the penguinsConsidering UniversalStudiosHollywood was able to make a omnimover work ontop of a parking structure at under half an acre, I can see SeaWorld doing a compact proper dark ride.
Of definitely, this is what I’ve been saying, it’s many steps forward, 1 step backThrow in Glacier Bar, Avalanche Burger, FlameCraft, a remodeled Shark Bar, the food festivals -- F&B has made substantial steps forward as well.
Oof, this is a depressing thread to read lol. Is it really so unlikely that they'd replace the batteries in the ride vehicles? I don't want to believe that SW is really just going to give up on dark rides/themed rides altogether just like that, at a time when the competition down the street is opening rides like Rise of the Resistance and Velocicoaster.
I’d argue having anything for people to ride when it rains (which here in Orlando happens basically every day in the summer), as well as something for families or anyone not into roller coasters to ride, is a battle worth fighting. And while I agree it's not the same caliber as those rides, it didn't really have to be; Antarctica typically had a wait time of 30+ minutes, so it's not like it was unpopular (at least outside this forum lol).I mean, they could replace the batteries. But also, Antarctica is not even 1/100 of those rides. Maybe time to pick battles and move on?
