SeaWorld Orlando has given a preview of the ride vehicles for SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep, a unique suspended dark ride set to open in 2026.

SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep provides a deep sea expedition on state-of-the-art submersible-style ride vehicles.

For the first time, SeaWorld Orlando is blending multi-sensory storytelling, imaginative ride technology, and the awe-inspiring experiences of the deep sea into one voyage.

The ride will see guests board state-of-the-art submersibles, before embarking on a virtual undersea expedition — discovering glowing worlds, exploring sunken shipwrecks, and encountering astonishing creatures.

“SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep redefines what a family attraction can be,” said Conner Carr, vice president of rides and engineering for the park.

“By blending cutting-edge ride technology with the mystery of the deep sea, we’re creating an experience that inspires curiosity and brings explorers of all ages along for the adventure.”

This all-new indoor suspended dark ride, in partnership with Vekoma Rides, will feature a smooth, gliding motion system that allows ride vehicles to swing and rotate through different themed environments — creating a cinematic experience. Featuring immersive audio in every vehicle, dynamic lighting, and a fully indoor setting, SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep offers an experience that lets families embark on a deep-sea expedition no matter the weather outside.
