Ice breaker Update

Ice Breaker is almost fully complete with one final track piece left to install

Time for an Ice Breaker update at SeaWorld, Orlando. Construction has been ramping up and looks to be in its final stages of track construction before its Spring 2020 opening.

We visited on February 21st and only one track piece is left to be installed. Station gates have also been installed where it looks like it will have quite a tight station queue space. Other notable elements that can be seen in the construction photos below is the queue entry signage posts have been implemented.

Check out the photos below. As always click on them for some more detail.

That about does it for this construction update.

It won’t be too long before that final track piece is installed and work can begin on testing and landscaping. Station work still needs to be completed as the operator booth still looks a little empty.

No sign of the ride vehicles on site yet but keep an eye out here and our twitter, for more Ice Breaker update.

Look out for our thoughts and some food reviews of the Seven Seas Food Festival at SeaWorld, Orlando coming this weekend to the website.
