SAN DIEGO — Just months after debuting its latest coaster, SeaWorld is finalizing approvals on yet another one that is, by design, meant to appeal more to families than thrill seekers.
The San Diego marine park is so far keeping details about the new attraction under wraps until it secures approval from the California Coastal Commission, but rumblings about what the coaster might be are surfacing on theme park fan sites. What is known is that the new ride is planned for the Wild Arctic area of the park where a helicopter-themed ride operated for more than two decades.
That ride shut down in early 2020 after park officials decided the Wild Arctic simulators had run their course and it was time to to “update the ride experience of the attraction.”
