Wild Arctic reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Wild Arctic, a simulator ride at SeaWorld San Diego.
Written by Christopher Bombon There are two options for the exhibit: By Land or by Air. If you chose land, you take a breath taking and adventurous ride exploring the Arctic in a specialy designed helicopter. After that, its pretty much the same as the "Land" option.
You are in Base Station Wild Arctic, a research facility located in the frozen Arctic enviorment right next to a great ice cap and frozen shipwreck. You pass research equipment, frozen shipwrecks, and vast exhibits housing an array of Arctic wildlife, such as polar bears and beluga whales. Wild Arctic has interactive features such as cameras built into the rocks in the animal exhibits to give a closer glimps of the animals above AND below the water. There is also a 25 foot long ice tunnel complete with foggers, misters, and actual ice! Embeded into the ice are polar bear paws, and inside of the polar bear paws are coins. See how long it takes to get a penny out before your fingers freeze! Ride time is 4 minutes
Readers' rating:
The movie/ride you have to go on first here is kind of funny, and the motivations of the pilot of the plane are questionable, and the effects are dated, but it's still fun. The exhibit after the ride is wonderful, and perfectly themed with belugas and polar bears, and a great ice theme. Really a fantastic attraction! - Tommy N Decent ride but the polar bear exibit is amazing when the bears are not asleep - Erik Avila More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
