I worry, as others have previously alluded to on this forum, that this will just be looked at as "Soarin's cheaper little sister" by visitors, discouraging PRKS from investing in more similar rides. I hope I'm wrong because this is a much needed addition at basically every park in the chain, but I'll have that worry for a while.

I’m not sure about yall but i’ll take high quality LIVE ACTION footage over any soarin cgi any day. I’m really hoping PRKS can go over the bare minimum on this ride. The footage seen in the teaser looks pretty cool so I have my hopes up.
Also i find it so cool that they can shoot this stuff on drones now. For soarin they had to lug IMAX cameras on helicopters so this is a great example of modern tech making things easier and cheaper for ride development.

Based on what I’ve heard… this ride’s presentation should be very good. It’s the first attraction in Seaworld Orlando’s history to have its entire budget approved with no cuts whatsoever.
Thanks epic universe!, and no it’s not 3-D
Epic universe makes everything better
Well, they have the ability to make 5K cameras now that are smaller and easier for a good sized drone to fly, but I don't think an IMAX quality camera has been shrunk enough and light enough for a drone just yet...
Confirmed to be using the high-capacity version of the Mack Rides Flying Theater:

Any construction updates here ? Really hoping for this to open well before Epic Universe.
I plan on heading to the park some time this week for an update. The downside is that there really isn't anything to see as everything is indoors and fully closed up.
Make sure to check out if Chick Fill A opened also. Make sure you dont go on Sunday. LOL!
the entire wild arctic building is currently closed... the gift shop was being packed up for refurbishment... hopefully this means work on animal habitat too... the queue area was being repainted too. getting closer.
How does this attraction still not have a name announced...? Is it actually still on track to open this year...?
This should be a major new attraction for the chain this year, no? Shouldn't we be hearing SOMETHING about it?

I'm guessing it will open during the later half of the year. Maybe around labor day?
I just hope they take their time making it amazing instead of trying to rush the opening. I was hoping may but you never know. I want to see hard hat soon
I can’t wait to see all the plush whales and walruses they’re going to nail to the wall.
