"The Alaska SeaLife Center is excited to grow its 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. “This new collaboration will continue efforts to highlight Arctic rescue and conservation stories.”
With the opening of the Ice Breaker, SeaWorld Orlando reports that it has more roller coasters than any other theme park in the Florida city. The icy themed area offers the best views of the Ice Breaker as guests enjoy a signature drink at the Glacier Bar or a delectable bite at Altitude Burgers.
Already named by USA Today as one of the Most Anticipated Attractions in 2022, Ice Breaker has been a huge hit with guests of all ages. The ride has seen rave reviews on social media and was highlighted in SeaWorld’s recent quarterly call, where record earnings were announced. Named after the icy Arctic summits, Ice Breaker features 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 manoeuvre into a series of exciting twists, turns, and airtime hills. Kyle Miller, Park President of SeaWorld, said: “Ice Breaker is a one-of-a-kind thrill ride which complements our existing exhilarating ride portfolio perfectly." The ride queue offers an interactive educational experience, a reflection of SeaWorld’s partnership with Alaska SeaLife Center - which specialises in rescue, rehabilitation, education and research - and in alignment with SeaWorld’s own conservation activities and educational mission. This partnership will help educate riders about the Arctic and its inhabitants, while a percentage of Ice Breaker merchandise proceeds goes to the conservation fund.
