Journey to Atlantis, Water coaster in SeaWorld, Orlando, United States

Journey to Atlantis is a water coaster at SeaWorld Orlando, opened on April 17, 1998. The pale pink building with blue and gold accents stands beside a lagoon; a tall tower with a blue tiled roof and gold dome holds a steep, pale yellow chute that drops toward the water between artificial brown rock formations. Blue arched openings with hanging plants line the facade, and a smaller blue dome with gold trim sits mid-building. Much of the ride takes place inside the themed building, where boats pass scenes of a fictional Atlantis before chain lifts lead to drops and a splashdown.

Journey to Atlantis opened at SeaWorld Orlando on April 17, 1998, the first water coaster built by Mack Rides of Germany. Along with Wild Arctic it was one of the park's only thrill rides until Kraken arrived in 2000. During seasonal maintenance in March 2017, the ride's theme was altered: the characters Allura the Evil Mermaid and Hermes the Fiber-Optic Seahorse were removed, and the score was replaced by a loop of Rick McKee's music from the former A'lure – Call of the Ocean show.

The theme draws on the ancient legend of the sunken city, showing riders a fictional underwater world with glowing sets and artificial fog banks. Water jets and moving figure elements create the impression of gliding through old temples and ruins.

All riders should expect that spray can soak clothing, so lockers are available near the entrance. Wait times vary by day, with the queue winding through both covered and open areas.

An elevator mechanism lifts the boats indoors and simulates swaying movements like those at sea. During this ascent, water seeps through walls and floor, creating the impression that the boat travels through flooded chambers.
