Frommer's Review
Taking a cue from Disney Imagineers, SeaWorld has created a story line to go with this $30-million water coaster. It has to do with a Greek fisherman and ancient Sirens in a battle between good and evil. But what really matters is the drop -- a wild plunge from an altitude of 60 feet, in addition to lugelike curves and a shorter drop. Journey to Atlantis breaks from SeaWorld's edutainment formula and offers good old-fashioned fun. There's no hidden lesson, just a splashy thrill when you least expect it. It's nearly as good as Jurassic Park River Adventure at Islands of Adventure -- the thrills are equal (or maybe just a wee bit more exciting) at SeaWorld, but the thematic detailing on the Universal ride is better. Note: Riders must be at least 42 inches tall. Expectant moms, as well as folks with heart, neck, or back problems, should find some other way to pass the time.
