Ice Breaker (SWO)

I don't know what this new structure they are building? But I see this was going on and off again. Not much activity is happening during the weekend. I am guessing this is the exit gift shop and ride photo preview area. Once that is done, Ice Breaker might see an opening date. Memorial Day is May 31st. And is there another company call on May 20th? Overall, just seeing this gives me hope. When I was at employee ride previews, I saw workers doing some welding on metal structures.

It's allegedly a gift shop/kiosk and allegedly why IB isn't open yet

*checks calendar*

Honestly don't know what happened. There were people scheduled to be opening May 15, they had staff from park open till close, and I had heard from multiple area supervisors that something would be occurring. Plans change, I guess.

How's the gift shop progressing?

All SeaWorld Entertainment coasters are delayed until the end of time

I got some word from a Twitter DM with SeaWorld Informer. He has said that the building permits for Ice Breaker have not been finalized and signed off by Orange County. Despite the final touches occurring over at the new exit shop.

I am here now, and there is not a soul in the vicinity of IB.

Also, sidenote: ops are DREADFUL today. If they opened this thing with the park in this state it'd be an utter disaster.

No confirmation yet, but it looks like it probably won't open summer. Correct me if I'm wrong. I still have hopes Ice Breaker could have a mid-summer push in attendance.

Electric Ocean has nothing to do with Ice Breaker.

I just thought opening the new coaster could be a interesting tie-in to draw attendance.

Events already draw attendance.

Ignite at Electric Ocean was better than any fireworks show ever to come to Universal until Cinematic Celebration arrived.

It's true. The fire, the fountains, the fireworks, the atmosphere...it's all so good

Those are the fire ball throwers! It's great to see them on both sides of the bridge this year to make a larger viewing area.

Video starts at the fire balls:

Well there you go...I've honestly never noticed them until now haha

I'm guessing they're put out seasonally then

Yes, they're only out for the show, and they usually have little round enclosures on them hiding the works.

Well, the shop/onride photo has opened, so maybe soon?
