Disney4me Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:45 PM SeaWorld Orlando has pushed back the debut of its Arctic-based flying theater ride by about a week. Expedition Odyssey will make its public debut on May 9, instead of May 1 as originally announced. Previews for annual passholders, originally set to begin this Saturday have been rescheduled to dates beginning May 1, according to email sent from the theme park to its passholders. The new big-screen attraction, which is taking over the former Wild Arctic simulator space, will have an attached animal exhibit that will open to the general public on May 1, according to the email to passholders. Expedition Odyssey will virtually transport visitors through glaciers, over the tundra and into the depths of the Arctic Ocean. The footage, which will be seen on on a curved screen 50 feet in diameter, includes looks at orcas, beluga whales, polar bears, seals and walruses. The scenes were filmed in three separate two-week excursions. The new attraction will have a 39-inch height requirement for passengers. The revised passholder previews will be held for platinum cardholders on May 1-2, then platinum and gold level on May 3-4, then added on silver passes on May 5-6. Previews for all passholders will extend into May 7-8 before the May 9 grand opening. Email me at dbevil@orlandosentinel.com. BlueSky: @themeparksdb. Threads account: @dbevil. X account: @themeparks.
