Antarctica - Empire of the Penguin

[USO92]

It is a trackless "darkride" with floor-to-ceiling, 360 degree viewing capability for passengers. Completely themed ice sets line the building interior as the vehicle passes by screens to tell a story of a baby penguin (think Turtle Trek) and as well as windows into the live penguin enclosures.

The trackless element means that the ride can vary its path every time you ride and even interact with other ride vehicles in interesting ways.

Woah :stunned: So the cars will be....excuse my lack of a better term....remote controlled? Sorry I really havent followed this ride

This is just two of many shots I have. I also snagged photos of the mock ups as well. The rest will be posted in my stash thread in the members only area. Along with those will be a few other Potter zoom shots where you can see the Gringotts station under construction and Transformers construction.

But that means you must be a member to see them. I've been saying you guests should join...

Be in my thread in 10 mins to see the exclusive shots, I promise its worth it. :thumbs:

Wild Artic? I heard it's leaving once Sea World's contract with the poler express is over after this year

Well techinically....There will be one Arctic theme, and one Antarctica theme..

But yes, I agree. Once Antarctica opens, Arctic should be making it's way to the door.

Would they move all the animals over to the new area?

Very cool looking cars and love how each one has its own motion based ride system.

 

[Andy]

Very excited for this, the ride looks to be a hit in the making!

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

Looks great!

 

[ReelJustice]

That ride vehicle is incredible.

 

[Swiminn6]

I wouldn't mind driving one of those down International Drive!

 

[Cliff]

Now if they can be manually controlled. Antartic bumper cars anyone

I second that thought. :thumbs: doing the "Sand Lake Road to Universal Boulevard" stretch would be fun
