Ice Breaker, Steel roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando, US
Ice Breaker is a steel roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando that combines four separate launches moving forward and backward. The track extends for 1,900 feet (579 m) and reaches a speed of 52 miles per hour (84 km/h).
SeaWorld Orlando announced the name Ice Breaker in September 2019 and displayed its trains at the IAAPA Exposition that November. Track construction was completed in February 2020, but the pandemic kept the ride closed through 2020 and 2021. It finally opened on February 18, 2022, and reopened on March 11, 2023 after the comfort collars were removed.
The queue displays elements of Arctic landscapes and teaches visitors about polar bears and their habitat. People walk through panels showing information about Earth's polar regions.
Riders must be at least 48 inches (122 cm) tall, the requirement restored on March 11, 2023 after the comfort collars were removed. The train seats six people per car in three rows of two, across two trains. The station sits at ground level.
The 93-foot (28 m) spike is a "Jr. Scorpion Tail" that pitches riders 100° past vertical, the steepest drop of any coaster in Florida. Because the train is launched back and forth four times, it covers 2,750 feet (838 m) of track per ride, more than the 1,900-foot (579 m) circuit itself.
