I do agree that Seaworld San Diego does need something new and it's falling behind in terms of attractions compared to the other Seaworld parks. This is the oldest park and it needs to revitalized. I'm hoping this new ride is just the beginning. I'm disappointed like everyone else that it appears tame compared to Orlando's version but they can only work with what they have. Being next to Mission Bay doesn't help but without the bay the park probably would not have Skyride. I would rather have this coaster than the Skyride. But that's just me.

FYI – Sea World requested and received a height exemption from the city of San Diego and the California Coastal Commision to build Journey to Atlantis

I'm not really impressed witht his ride that much. The layout isn't all that anyway. The only way I think they culd pull this off would be if they were to do some major good theming and stuff. Other than that, I wouldn't really be any more motivated to come to this Seaworld. . .Thats just me. But I have a question. . .they used nolimits to make this how did they get those type of cars; the elevated seated launch coaster they look awesome I want some for my nolimits does anybody know how they did it/how I ca do it.

This is the only Sea World Park I've been to so far… Journey to Atlantis was pretty dull and oring for me, and not having any other rides made it a long day for me. This doesn't make the park seem much more appealing to me. A waste of money to me.

Looks kind of like a marine-themed Backlot Stunt Coaster, which is by no means a bad thing. I was at SWSD a few years ago, and while I had a good time, I got the impression that this is a park that needs any new coaster badly. I actually really liked Journey to Atlantis, but it doesn't compare to the offerings at either of the other Sea World parks. It's pretty impressive that they managed to create anything with these height restrictions, and SWSD definitely deserves it. A little disappointed by the name, but that's not really a big deal.

If I were trying to come up with a coaster within those restrictions, I would be very frustrated. I would probably opt for another type of ride altogether to be honest.

I don't have much of a desire to ride it because it looks pretty average to me.

A launched flyer would have been pretty cool. I hadn't thought of that combo.

It worked absolutely fine with Top Gun.
