Attraction Expedition Odyssey

[Zachary]

So despite living in the Tampa Bay area I have not been back to SeaWorld since this ride opened and have therefore not ridden it. From what I understand the biggest complaint was the quality of the projection. Can anyone confirm or add additional problems with the ride

The hideous, temporary-looking queue, a really poor-quality ride film, very little in the way of interesting movement/effects, and a horrifically slow-moving queue were my big takeaways. It's boring, but the film was also just off-putting—odd, gitchy-feeling frame rate issues, weird camera movements, etc.

A renovated queue (with actual AC turned on, please!), a much better ride film, and better programming could go a long way. Now they just need to get their standby/non-standby ratios figured out so I'm not waiting 45 minutes with maybe like only 70 people in front of me....

Oh wow, that's crazy to hear the capacity ended up being so bad. I thought I remembered something about how the loading system was intuitive and was meant to lead to decent throughput. I could definitely see Mack urging the park to flesh out the ride to make it a better show piece for potential buyers that would be in the Orlando area.

If this footage is from the ride, it looks like a huge improvement.

Not confirmed but it seems they are not only rethemeing the queue but expanding it as well. Lots of work on the room behind where they split the queue

This reminds me of Poseidon's Fury (rip) getting that hasty retheme after its first year. But I'm so glad this is happening! If they can make this a properly themed story driven experience and get operations up to the speed it's designed for, this should be a big hit for the park. And hopefully then it'll be brought over to the other parks.
