SeaWorld Entertainment Unveils Major
New Attractions for 2017
First of its kind new rides, shows and events from coast to coast
InvadRTM, Busch Gardens® Williamsburg Spring 2017
A new wooden roller coaster, InvadR, will join Busch Gardens Williamsburg’s collection of world-class thrill rides. The family thriller will be the park’s first wooden coaster and eighth roller coaster in total. A minimum height requirement
of 46 inches make it an ideal ride for adults and children to share together, but the coaster will still feature exciting ride elements, including a more than 70-foot drop, and nine airtime hills. Located in the New France village of Busch Gardens, guests will travel more than 2,100 feet through a wooded terrain and underground through a tunnel. The attraction’s theme will invite riders to choose
their ride, in a battle between a band of invading Vikings and the villagers.
Kraken® Virtual Reality (VR) Roller Coaster, SeaWorld Orlando
Summer 2017
SeaWorld will debut its first digitally enhanced ride experience as the legendary Kraken roller
coaster is transformed into a virtual reality (VR) roller coaster experience. This thrill ride will be
the only VR coaster experience in Florida. Guests will embark on a deep-sea mission alongside
sea creatures inspired by extinct and legendary animals of the past, including the mighty Kraken.
A custom digital overlay with uniquely designed headsets, fully integrated both mechanically and electronically into the coaster train, delivers a
new one-of-a-kind adventure. The addition of VR to this fan favorite brings a new level of excitement and interest in Kraken, for both new and returning guests.
Ocean Explorer, SeaWorld San Diego Summer 2017
SeaWorld San Diego will unveil Ocean Explorer, a new three-acre realm combining multiple aquariums, exciting rides and digital technologies. The area is designed to engage park guests in
an experience centered on exploration and adventure, inspiring them to protect the wonders of our oceans.
New Orca Encounter, SeaWorld San Diego Summer 2017
SeaWorld San Diego will introduce new, inspiring, educational orca encounters, rather than theatrical shows, as part of its ongoing commitment to education, marine science research, and rescue of marine animals. These live documentaries will focus on orca enrichment, exercise, and overall health. This change starts in its San Diego park this year, followed by Orlando and then San Antonio by 2019.
