SeaWorld Orlando Sets ‘Final Ride’ for Expedition Odyssey Ahead of Update

The unusually fast refresh comes during a DOJ lawsuit over the company’s ban on seated walkers.

Overview

  • SeaWorld Orlando invited media Wednesday to take a final ride on Expedition Odyssey before planned changes.
  • The park withheld details and dates for the update, though briefings from its design and engineering team signal a substantive rework.
  • The attraction opened less than a year ago, an unusually short run before a refresh in an industry where major updates typically come years later.
  • Guests who want the current version are being told to prioritize a visit soon, since the preview implies the changes are near term.
  • The announcement arrives as the U.S. Department of Justice sues parent company United Parks and Resorts over its ban on rollators, alleging ADA violations that the company defends as a safety rule.
