Mission: Bermuda Triangle
SeaWorld Orlando · Sea of Ice
Overview
Mission: Bermuda Triangle was a motion simulator attraction in the Sea of Ice area that sent guests on a fictional deep-sea research expedition into the Bermuda Triangle. The pre-show set up a research mission gone wrong, and the simulator ride itself put guests through turbulent underwater sequences — sudden drops, shaking cabins, and tense encounters — themed as an emergency submarine descent. It was one of SeaWorld Orlando's few pure thrill-simulator attractions, aimed at guests wanting motion-based excitement between the park's animal-focused shows.
ParksLog verdict
A solid if unremarkable motion simulator that gave SeaWorld Orlando a change of pace from its usual animal-show format. It never became a signature attraction and its relatively short run reflects that, but it's a fondly-enough-remembered footnote for guests who rode it in the early 1990s.
