Penguin Trek

SeaWorld Orlando's newest coaster, Penguin Trek, debuted on July 7, 2024. This family-friendly coaster in the Antarctica Realm features thrilling launches and speeds of up to 43 mph, along a 3,020-foot track with a penguin habitat finale. With video and audio content courtesy of Spinifex Group, Penguin Trek raises the bar on themed attractions at SeaWorld.

Penguin Trek redefines the family coaster experience with its innovative design and immersive theming, inviting guests on an adventure through ice caves and rough terrain en route to a colony of penguins. Spinifex created the Antarctic visuals and audio soundscapes heard throughout the queue, station, and track.
