Did you get to keep the hard hat again like at Tigris?

The orange looks good in isolation, but I don’t really feel it fits in well with the area.

Eh... I think if they had to use the Orange, this was the one section of the park that it's acceptable in. It looks pretty good up against the concrete Shamu and Bayside Stadiums. The only thing in the immediate area that is doesn't compliment (IMO) is the lake.

Fill it with ice!

Take a look behind-the-scenes at SeaWorld's upcoming roller coaster, Ice Breaker.

SeaWorld Orlando is in the midst of construction of their new roller coaster, Ice Breaker and invited Inside Universal to come to check out the progress. Ice Breaker will be SeaWorld Orlando’s first launch coaster, featuring four launches, both backward and forward, and a 93-foot tall spike with

The article has an answer to that!

Good to see they got the structure in place on the lagoon side, with the remaining portion on the outside where they can work any time. The Bayside Pathway will be open Friday through Sunday for the next few months with Seven Seas Food Festival, so they can keep working and not disrupt the flow of guests. I'm assuming the electricians are working hard on the other side wiring up the LSMs and station. I think the rest of the track should come together quickly now, so hopefully we see an April opening, just in time for Easter break.

Looks like most of the remaining supports are in place so track should be in place within the coming week or two I'd guess:

Ice Breaker T-shirts have arrived (from the Passholder group on Facebook):

I'd guess we'll get an opening date very soon since track work will be complete this week.

Track is complete and trains are on the track:

Good looking but ugh, I hate Premier’s trains. Maybe Ice Breaker is a reference to what’s going to happen to your knees getting in and out of this.

Getting in/out of premier trains is like dancing with an alligator. They have the worst designed trains in the industry. I like their rides tho.
