SeaWorld Orlando’s Ice Breaker rollercoaster is to open on February 18, 2022.
The Florida theme park said the ride will feature four 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”.
Riders will also experience a “near vertical top hat” manoeuvre – an ascent at a 90-degree angle, with a 90-degree lateral twist.
There are also twists, turns and “airtime hills”, during which riders experience weightlessness.
To mark the launch of Ice Breaker, SeaWorld has announced a new conservation partnership with the Alaska SeaLife Center, a research, rescue, rehabilitation, and education facility.
