Following up on the addition of the hyper roller coaster Mako,
SeaWorld Orlando has announced a wide variety of new offerings for visitors in 2017. First up is the addition of virtual reality to the park's popular Kraken roller coaster. The first digitally enhanced coaster for the SeaWorld Parks, Kraken rides will travel far below the depths of the ocean on the attraction. The journey will include "sea creatures inspired by extinct and legendary animals of the past, including the mighty Kraken." Saying the ride will have "uniquely designed headsets," the park will incorporate them both mechanically and electronically into the coaster's trains.

Also inside SeaWorld Orlando, major renovations of the park's Dolphin Nursery will delight visitors and make the attraction more interactive. The park will add "large-scale acrylic windows" to the exhibit so that visitors can see mother and baby dolphins in all new ways.

The Dolphin Nursery will include multiple viewing levels, both above and below the water's surface. Improvements to the exhibit will also allow easier access for the park's extensive veterinary and animal care teams once the dolphin calves are born. Educational components, such as digital displays and live educators will help visitors better understand dolphin behavior and conservation efforts to protect the animals.

Another addition will be a new end-of-day spectacle event known as Electric Ocean. With plenty more details promised to come, the park is describing it as full of "lights and energy, offering guests a different kind of fun after dark." Inspired by bioluminescent lighting in nature, the park will come alive with music and pathway entertainment that will change the atmosphere of the park.
But that's not all, believe it or not. A new Seven Seas Festival will occur that celebrates food from Asian, Caribbean, South American and Mediterranean areas. The unique food offerings will also be paired with local and seasonal craft brews. That fits in perfectly with the park's new for 2017 dining location, the Flamecraft Bar. It will fit nicely with the nearby existing SeaFire Grill in the waterfront area of the theme park, and offer a spot for a casual drink and a bite to eat. Finally, the Nautilus Theatre will debut a "new experience" on Memorial Day weekend, running for the summer. More details about the show's content will be released soon.

Starting this holiday season, and then continuing in 2017 as well, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer & Friends will become a part of the park's Christmas Celebration. Already a popular event during the winter months, visitors will now be able to meet Rudolph in several seasonal themed attractions. Other characters that will be at the park include Clarice, Bumble, the Abominable Snow Monster and Yukon Cornelius. The 2017 Christmas Celebration is promised to further expand the Rudolph themed fun.
