Antartica is opening on May 24th according to the Sea World facebook page.

It is going to be incredible. I had an amazing chat with Brian Morrow yesterday about it. I simply cannot wait!

 

[drew81]

Did he happen to say much about the restaurant or how long the attraction lasts?

Well the restaurant concept seems like it is going to take "fusion" to a whole new level. The concept is, since every country "owns" Antarctica, and scientists from around the world come down you would have scientists making food from their cultures.

So you are going to have world flavors and tastes there, along with other treats.

There were zero answers to actual ride questions.

I'm insanely excited about this, it looks very cool. Sea world has really stepped up there game in last last decade or so, with manta, kraken, turtle trek, and now Antarctica

Things have been delayed. As of two days ago the penguins were not yet moved into their habitat.

They need to get a move on with everything if they want a May 24th grand opening.
