While Ice Breaker has yet to start testing, the infrastructure around the ride is coming together nicely. In today’s update we’ve got a couple of different shots of the infrastructure surrounding the ride, some track shots, and we happened to catch a pretty spectacular sunset as we left the park and thus we have a nice array of sunset pictures as well.
– In the past, many of our images have been posted, featured, and shared on forums, social media platforms and websites around the web. We work hard to provide the coverage that we do, and we encourage our audience to share our content and use our images, BUT ONLY IF proper credit is given to thecoasterkings.com. Thank you! –
I am going to start with a quick throwback to the concept arts. The special event walkways under the ride are now closed and thus not the whole layout is as easy to photograph. They made a big point of the theme tying in with Wild Arctic next door, but I continue to get pretty tropical vibes so far.
It wasn’t until today that I really started to appreciate how nicely everything on this side of the park is coming together. It may be SeaWorld Orlando’s most aesthetically cohesive corner yet. All the buildings have similar shapes and same shades of orange and teal. Take a look at some of the construction surrounding the new Premier Rides coaster:
I can’t wait to see the logo added to the marquee! Which is located directly where pathways from the bridge, Orca Stadium, Sesame Street and Wild Arctic/Special Events space meet. 
As mentioned in previous updates, the queue reuses several outdoor dining pavilions that were part of Mango Joe’s, the adjacent restaurant. 
It looks like the queue will have one lane for Quick Queue that heads straight to the station, while the standby queue is made up of several sets of switchbacks. 
Speaking of Mango Joe’s, it completely blends in with the Ice Breaker aesthetic. 
The train has been on the track and still hasn’t moved in months. However, seeing active crews around the ride is a sign that some work is being done. 
Here’s a close look at the station. Airgates are in place. The exit ramp on the right side of the station is pretty much complete now. 
Note the next below the Jr. Scorpion Tail element, as well as the sand-colored gravel that has been placed around the ride. 
I must admit, it looks very clean and quite aesthetically pleasing! 
We’ll wrap up this part of the update with this overview of the ride, queue, station and exit!
I am excited that these colors pop and really bring some life to this corner of the park. One day I hope the full special events circle will be reopened as part of daily operations. Below we’ve got a new selection of track shots. There are a few moments that the track switches between old and new-style Premier Rides track, can you spot where?

Unplanned, but we left Orca Encounter and on the way out of the park the sunset was unreal! I quickly snapped some shots and touched them up a bit. No real information to add here, but thought I may as well share these shots.
