I remember riding this back when it first opened. It was unique from the pacing alone, with the fakeouts and main drop out front actually in the middle of the ride, rather than the climax. And the entire idea of a Pirates-of-the-Caribbean-esque dark ride turning into a roller coaster at the end was mind blowing. I think I loved the theming in the area more than anything (also why I loved Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure). I’m sad to see how poorly it’s aged.

@Zachary Khan no the money was definitely invested into the wrong things to get people to their parks but not give people the experience they expect when finally getting there like at Seaworld Orlando, that's why the Orlando location isn't doing so well, they've been experiencing budget cuts within their own parks to fund things like this and find ways to cut costs so that it can save the company money. Workers have been leaving due to the cuts, they've switched their CEO 3 times within the last year and a half.

I agree. Such a shame they butchered this ride. Was planning on going to SeaWorld next time i visit from the UK but with hearing about how they have ruined my favourite ride their I think I'll just save the money for Universal. *Sad*

It will be a shame when this ride eventually closes. Honestly I think they should have someone to either rewrite the story, along with fixing the special effects, or do an overhaul and introduce new effects with a completely different story. I've grew up with this ride everytime I went to SeaWorld, I loved it and was drawn to the scary tone as a kid (Coming from someone that went to and loved the Alien Encounter at Magic Kingdom when I was about 5 or 6). It's a shame that they killed what I enjoyed about it, other than the rollercoaster parts. And soon, it will be sunk back to the ocean since Journey to Atlantis is not on SeaWorld's priority list as they expand on adding other attractions to Orlando and all other parks owned by the company. No matter what may become of Atlantis, it will hold a special place within me like a few other rides from other theme parks.

I have never ridden Journey to Atlanta but assume it is pretty similiar to Poseidon at Europa Park which was built one or two years later. I have always enjoyed Poseidon but it has become pretty rough in recent years. Anyway, the theming of Journey to Atlantis is really impressive and I think it is a shame if companies shut down special effects and neglect such costly attractions. That is what I like about Europa Park, they do not shut down attractions or neglect them, the owners of the Park do quite the opposite by adding new elements to their old rides and thus keeping them relevant years after their construction. Something I hope Sea World will also do with Journey to Atlantis.

I got to ride it when they had the weak story and Beetlejuice music. Although confusing it was still entertaining, the latest version was horrible. It was my niece’s first coaster and the entire time she kept asking what’s happening.. I agreed with her.

It's sad to see Atlantis in the state it's in...a shell of it's former self indeed. But it's a nice little ride to cool off on and enjoy a temp thrill regardless, so it's not bad. Just lackluster compared to what it once was. ...also that Vinny ending. I loved that movie XD Perfect ending

I still enjoy this ride! Regardless of the story which I never paid attention to, I feel this ride is perfect for a hot summer day in Orlando. No matter when I ride, where I sit, or how full the boat is, I get soaked. This ride is truly a forgotten gem amongst the newer Orlando attractions.

This is, by far, my favorite ride at the park... Well... It was until they changed it. I loved the original version and while the story telling wasn't great, it was about what you'd expect from a roller coaster. The best part was when the siren says "Leaving so soon?" and you realize that the ride isn't over yet. As far as coasters go, I only rank Universal's Mummy ride better. Sure, there are better "thrill" coasters, but none that play with your head the way Journey to Atlantis did. So sad to see it in it's current state.

Allure gets mad at Hermès because he redirects the water stream into her house, breaking her front door (which you can see next to the fountain) with an umbrella. That’s why she says “now you’ve done it you puny little pony, your friends are mine!” Also, Hermès was originally planned to have a script and a voice, there used to be a news van in the queue and the employees were “reporters”, and the original scene by the final drop was different :)

I was absolutely terrified of this ride when I was younger. I can’t wait for my next trip to sea world, where I can ride everything.

For the record, I rode this within a couple of year of its opening. At the time I didn't know about the ending or the fact it wasn't a strictly "boat ride." I was amazed by it. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. There was a story but the truth was I didn't remember much of the story. However, I REALLY remembered how I felt when the boat suddenly became a roller coaster! WOW! I vaguely do remember the mermaids, but they were not a big deal to me. While I certainly understand it not being as great as a Disney dark ride, I still think it is an amazing ride overall and really deserves some love. While I doubt it will ever happen, it would be great if Sea World Orlando decided to fix it and make it an amazing ride with a cohesive and entertaining story.

I didn’t realize they removed all elements of the story. Sad

I rode this in 2018. This was my only visit to Sea World in my life, so I had absolutely no idea about the context or history of the attraction. When I rode it I was under the impression that the ride was unfinished and downright abandoned. Surprised to see I was right.

Can you add to your list Castle Dracula at Universal I'm not sure which one but It lasted from 1980 to 1983 And Phantom Theater from Kings Island

I've been on this ride so many times and... I never understood the story until you broke it down ha! Although I've been told (and it certainly looks like it when riding-especially if get a lights on opportunity) the large figure originally lunged down (similar to T-Rex). It's too bad they toned it down so much... Also--if have the chance to ride it at night it feels like a whole other ride. And if you're the last boat you sometimes get a lights on journey.

As a kid I never could understand why they played Beetlejuice on the lift hill and probably never will.

Yes! God I love this ride so much! I got some mixed feelings on Sea World (ethically atleast) but Journey to Atlantis is by far my FAVOURITE Water Ride simply because it combines the charm of a ‘log flume drop’ Ride that pretty much every theme park has. The original and intriguing theming, the Dark Ride Elements And ofcourse the genuine thrills of the ride!

I always click sooo fast whenever I see that TPH uploads a video!

The San Diego one was cool though with the elevator.

I have such a vicseral memory of riding this ride when I was 7 (I'm 25 now.) It was so memorable, and I'm sad to see it be in this state.

They should make a ride based on the movie it’s an underrated classic

The first time I ever rode this ride when I was little I was crying cause of the drop but now I like it

I was enjoying the video till i found out they took the story line and special effects out the ride, this was nostalgic for me considering it was my first thrill/scary ride. There is so much material with Atlantis i hope they don't close it!

i am so glad i got to experience this when i was young when it was actually full of life.. it seems so dull now and has lost its magic .. such a shame.

nice

Mission Bermuda Triangle has a great story at SeaWorld. It was the first major ride at any of their parks, and helped them become more ride oriented. You should certainly cover it!

My favorite part of this video : "And the theme from Beetlejuice plays". If only it had an original score ):

I remember I rode this on my only trip to SeaWorld. As much as I don't want to support a park that keeps these types of sea animals in captivity since that trip, I do admit that this ride was the best part of the park.

Thanks for the mention in the video, really greatful.

I remember this ride in Orlando when the seahorse Greek god Hermes leads me and my family to Atlantis and escape from the siren that attack me. One of my good memories. I was a huge fan the Orlando version of Journey to Atlantis. and it was awesomely way cool.
