Last weekend and this weekend we stopped by SeaWorld Orlando to bring our son to see some animals, shows and yesterday, to meet Blippi. Progress on Penguin Trek is visible from a few places in the parkāmost clearly over at Pacific Point Reserve. The coaster has only two track pieces left to install, but plenty of thematic elements and construction still to complete before the ride is ready to open.
From the temporary path leading to the Pacific Point Preserve you can see the bulk of the coaster's outdoor section, including of the ride's two launches as well as its unique brake run.
It will be interesting to see the coaster flying by from this view in the future.
Lots of work still to be done despite most track work being complete.
One of the highest points of the coaster is this turnaround, which will have netting around the track since it comes so close to guest and animal areas.
I expect some fun little pops of air on these two hills.
Some nice B&M curves over here...
A look at the initial exit from the former Antarctica dark ride building into the coaster's first launch.
The re-entry into the coaster's show building/station looks quickly carved out, so I'd expect it to be refinished or for some rockwork to be added around it to make it look a little less hasty.
From the other side of the park, Penguin Trek's turnaround is tall enough to be see on the park's skyline.
