2:20 in the above video.....

"We have combined a mobile, motion-based simulator with a trackless navigation system that will enable us to take you, our guests, into Antarctica and completely immerse you into that world."

So.......it's a trackless version of the Scoop?

Well... no.

It's trackless. I doubt it's a full motion simulator on a moving platform like the Scoop.

while they wont go into much details... the vehicle appears to be what happens if cat in the hat and pooh hunny hunt had an off spring... full motion like that... (spin, move, rumble) but not a HUGE motion simulator base like scoop / evac has...

So it IS like a Scoop combined with a trackless. Excellent!

^ Nice video! :rep: Thanks for posting! You can even see a little of the movement!

I'm quite excited to go back to SeaWorld when this opens! Looks like a great attraction!

So it looks like this may be screen based combined with live penguin exhibits?

This looks pretty amazing. I might have to make a trip to SW next year to see it. Glad to see SW make a amazing dark ride.

With Turtle Trek and this it should give people a reason to check out SW again.

I can't believe Seaworld is innovating more with their rides than some other companies are. This looks brilliant and I honestly cannot wait.

Whole lot of progress being made!

That glacier-work is looking good! That level of theming, plus the 360* environment inside the ride, and the mix of dark ride with animal encounter... This ride is gonna be pretty awesome! I think I might get a SeaWorld Fun Card for 2013!
