There’s a lot going on this summer at SeaWorld Orlando! We just got our first ride on Kraken Unleashed and construction is wrapping up on the new and improved Dolphin Nursery. Also underway is a brand new bar named “Flamecraft Bar” being built next door to the SeaFire Grill. It will feature local craft brews and signature cocktails. Preparations are in full force for Electric Ocean, the new summer-long event beginning this weekend. And of course construction is starting to pick up steam for the all new Infinity Falls raft ride, opening next year.

We got our first look at Kraken Unleashed yesterday and it is incredible. The newly remodeled entrance looks great with the new logo and the eel replaced by tentacles. This is to keep in line with the new look of the kraken as seen in the virtual reality overlay. And speaking of the overlay, I have to say I am impressed. The ride film is incredibly immersive and the sound quality is crystal clear, even over the loud coaster noise. The new story fits the coaster movements very well. And the graphics are top notch! I love the cameo that the lost city of Atlantis plays in it. My headset did have a little synchronization issue, but techs were on hand making adjustments to keep that from happening in the future. Check out the video as well as full photo report below for lots more details on this, and all of the ongoing projects at SeaWorld Orlando. And stay tuned for more theme park news.
