Just months after debuting its latest coaster, SeaWorld is finalizing approvals on yet another one that is, by design, meant to appeal more to families than thrill seekers. What is known is that the new ride is planned for the Wild Arctic area of the park where a helicopter-themed ride operated for more than two decades. The Behind the Thrills post notes the track for the coaster already is being delivered to SeaWorld. SeaWorld’s Emperor dive coaster, which was originally supposed to open in 2020, did not make its debut until this year. His Ohio-based firm, International Theme Park Services, did some research and learned that the San Diego park is planning a more intimate, family-oriented launch coaster that will likely be similar to the Wave Breaker ride at the SeaWorld San Antonio park.
