The Exciting Reopening of Journey to Atlantis at SeaWorld San Diego
SeaWorld San Diego is set to delight thrill-seekers and adventure lovers with the reopening of its beloved attraction, Journey to Atlantis, on August 23, 2025. After nearly a year of renovations, this Mack Rides water coaster offers a fresh take on the classic ride that first made its debut back in 2004. As part of SeaWorld’s effort to enhance visitor experiences, the ride has been reimagined to incorporate advanced storytelling elements, setting the scene for an unforgettable aquatic adventure.
A Dive into the New Theme
Journey to Atlantis will not only immerse riders in the mythos of the lost civilization of Atlantis but will also feature themes related to the Kraken and SeaWorld’s S.E.A. (Science. Exploration. Adventure.) Collective. Visitors will start their journey in an enhanced queue area filled with thematic audio, maps, and decorations that lay the groundwork for the adventure ahead. This attention to detail creates a more engaging experience right from the start, making it perfect for families and guests of all ages.
The Thrill of the Experience
What can guests expect on this newly revamped ride? The attraction still retains its signature 60-foot drop that leaves riders splashing into the water below—a thrilling climax that fans have come to love. In addition, the ride now features impressive new projections and lighting effects designed to simulate a Kraken attack, intensifying the already exhilarating experience. “The next-level features and fresh storytelling provide a thrill to a whole new generation of explorers,” says SeaWorld San Diego Park President, Tyler Carter.
Safety and Accessibility
For those eager to experience Journey to Atlantis, it’s important to note that the ride has a minimum height requirement of 42 inches, ensuring safety for younger guests. While most will find this a manageable height, it’s advisable for families to plan ahead. SeaWorld has made the journey accessible, ensuring that all guests can enjoy a remarkable day in the park, whether they are riding attractions or exploring the various educational exhibits available.
