Cover Feature New Rides and Attractions at SeaWorld Orlando SeaWorld’s newest roller coaster Ice Breaker opens this year. Named after the icy Arctic summits, Ice Breaker will feature four airtime filled launches, both backwards and forwards, culminating in a reverse launch into the steepest beyond vertical drop in Florida - a 93 feet tall spike with 100 degree angle. The thrills continue as riders fly over a near vertical tophat maneuver into a series of exciting twists, turns, and airtime hills. The brand-new coaster will be located across from Wild Arctic. Opened last year, Infinity Falls takes guests on an adventure through a lush rainforest environment inspired by some of the world’s most incredible freshwater ecosystems. The new attraction features the world’s tallest drop on a river raft ride and allows visitors to experience the feel of exhilarating rapids. The ride also features an innovative elevator lift designed to transport the rafts to the top of the ride’s 40-foot drop before plunging into churning whitewater. Opened in 2016, Mako is the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Orlando. 200 feet high, 73 mph and a track that’s nearly a mile long. Mako is a hypercoaster, which means it’s all about speed, tight turns and feelings of weightlessness at the top of each hill. This powerful new predator challenges even the most confident thrill-seekers looking to experience its remarkable speed and stature. For more information, visit seaworldorlando.com.
