Penguin Trek reaches a maximum height of 65 feet (20 m) with a maximum speed of 43 mph (69 km/h) and a total track length of 3,020 feet (920 m). The ride features both indoor and outdoor sections, providing an experience simulating an Antarctic snowmobile expedition.
History
In March 2020, Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, which was a motion-based, trackless dark ride, closed indefinitely during the COVID-19 pandemic. Plans for a new family-friendly roller coaster to replace the then abandoned Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin began in 2022.
In September 2023, SeaWorld Orlando revealed the name for the roller coaster, Penguin Trek. In November 2023, SeaWorld Orlando revealed the trains for the roller coaster at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) Exposition. In February 2024, the track work for the ride was completed.
Ride experience
The ride starts in an indoor Antarctic themed section with glaciers, snow, and an LED display before leaving outdoors, utilizing a linear synchronous motor (LSM) launch and taking a wide right turn. A series of twists and turns including a banked turn lead to another LSM launch. This second LSM launch leads to a overbanked turn. The ride takes a left with a airtime hill and then a wide left turn before reaching its final brake run, slowing down the train before it reaches the station. Riders have compared the ride experience to that of sledding and bobsledding due to the rides' use of airtime hills and turns.
