The moment that our guests have been waiting for is almost here. Get ready for uncharted chills on the all-new Ice Breaker coaster! Named after the icy Arctic summits, Ice Breaker will feature four airtime filled launches, both backwards and forwards, culminating in a reverse launch into the steepest beyond vertical drop in Florida – a 93 feet tall spike with 100-degree angle. The thrills continue as riders fly over a near vertical top hat maneuver into a series of exciting twists, turns, and airtime hills. The brand-new coaster will be located across from Wild Arctic and opens February 18, 2022.

SeaWorld Orlando Press Release

Pass Member Previews are taking place on various days from January 30 through February 15, depending on individual pass level.

The opening of Ice Breaker is the perfect addition to SeaWorld’s ever-growing ride portfolio.

While Ice Breaker isn’t a ride I’ll be going on, I sent the above video to Jordan to see if he would ride it, since he was the brave one who loved riding Mako at it’s media event. Hopefully we will be invited back so he can try Ice Breaker.

From the SeaWorld website

Just a reminder that all guests ages 2+ must wear an approved face covering at all times. Please refer to the SeaWorld Park Safety website for all of the increased safety measures.

It’s been many years since we last visited the SeaWorld Orlando Halloween Spooktacular. Its a cute event. I just always warn parents about choosing costumes that kids won’t overheat in. Please bring a change of clothes. Here in Florida we don’t even get our first cool front til mid-October. With the festivities starting in mid-September you are still looking at daytime temps in the 90s, please plan accordingly.

Ice Breaker at SeaWorld Orlando

Making its debut in spring 2020, riders will shiver through family friendly adventures on SeaWorld Orlando’s first launch coaster: Ice Breaker. Named after the icy Arctic summits, Ice Breaker will feature four launches, both backwards and forwards, culminating in a reverse launch into the steepest beyond vertical drop in Florida — a 93-foot tall spike with 100-degree angle.

Located near the Wild Arctic Attraction, the ride’s theme is reflective of this area with a nod to Ice Breaker’s conservation partner, Alaska SeaLife Center. Primarily dedicated to marine research, education and wildlife response, the Alaska SeaLife Center mission matches closely to SeaWorld Orlando’s, making them a perfect partner to help educate riders about the Artic and its inhabitants.

“The Alaska SeaLife Center is excited to grow our partnership with SeaWorld.  For many years, SeaWorld has been a stalwart supporter of the Center, and particularly our Wildlife Response program,” said Tara L. Riemer, President and CEO of Alaska SeaLife Center. “We are grateful for SeaWorld’s contributions of funding and staff over the years to further our mission. This new collaboration will continue efforts to highlight Arctic rescue and conservation stories.”

The opening of Ice Breaker is the perfect addition to SeaWorld’s ever-growing ride portfolio. From the roller coaster thrills of Mako, Manta and Kraken, to the water rapids of Infinity Falls and the flume fun of Journey to Atlantis, Ice Breaker joins the park’s famed attractions as a must-do experience in Orlando.
