Let's hope that trademark "Journey to the Abyss" applies here. Even with a low budget, UPE could have a badass theme like deep sea exploring with hellish creatures. Imagine a "prehistoric seas" land with a dark ride that immersed you into water teeming with prehistoric sharks. So many possibilities, and our long awaited dark ride (I heavily assume) appears to be Arctic Chopper 2.0.

We don't know if a flying theater is coming and, assuming one is, we don't know what the physical configuration of the attraction within the building will be. That said, Wild Arctic isn't in the Sesame Street area and, within Wild Arctic is an arctic exhibit which appears to be slated to remain. I don't think anyone has ever thought that a Sesame Street darkride was slated for any part of the Wild Arctic building...?
Might’ve been my bad, I think at one point I tossed out the idea of them routing the line from Sesame Street to the wild arctic building to make a darkride for Sesame Street, but that’s not a viable option given what you would need to do make such a thing work.
Lol, yep, that would do it. Do we think this is still 2025...? Seems like it must be running super late if so.
So my friend who works with DefRealNewsSite told me it’s a Mack Strata that’s the worlds longest as it jumps to aquatica then to epic universe and back.
It’s going to open late 2024

Possibly, it would depend on how much they are going to ramp up. If this is a Mack flying theater, a comparison would be Voletarium which began construction in September 2016 and opened in June 2017.
A permit filed 8/22 states the ride will go in the wild arctic building. (Mission: Bermuda Triangle was the previous name/theme for the Wild Arctic simulator.)
SWO is not the only park with abandoned simulator bays, let's hope this is a chain reaction. These new Mack theaters look really interesting.
Looks like a fantastic attraction. The press release mentioned 39-inch height requirement too.

Not announcing an official name for this project is certainly a choice. Regardless though, good, needed addition.
Maybe they'll give us crappy names to vote for so we can spend pages and pages of discussion talking about that instead of the ride? I'm voting for "Neu-Schwabenland".

And it will be shut down almost a whole year after it opens because they don't have enough staff. Just like Catapult Falls. That ride was shut down a lot during the summer.
I hope it’s not 3D. SeaWorld would not maintain it. I just want nice quality screens & effects
Thanks for posting the video. It looks like the show is going to look amazing. Here is a screengrab of a lot of interesting info from the camera. Looks like they are using an 8k Red camera with a potential 180-degree lens at 120 frames per second.
