Why it matters

The new Expedition Odyssey: Fire & Ice reinforces SeaWorld Orlando's commitment to continuously evolving its attractions and delivering new and exciting reasons for guests to visit, while also educating and inspiring them about conservation and caring for the planet.

They will then board a prototype research drone craft for a visually stunning, story-driven mission through the terrains of the Arctic, including an erupting volcano, mountain peaks, glaciers, icebergs, rivers and waterfalls, all brought to life through a new high-definition cinematic experience.
