What riders love
  • It delivered far more air time jolts than I expected it to.
  • I thought that would be family but actually packed some nice airtime.
  • Rocked up expecting a family coaster experience, left realising it's really not that and pretty intense!
  • It's peppered with so many ejector pops, making even the slow-to-start swing launch actually very fun due to all the airtime pops.
  • The last 2 launches have some excelent airtime over the small bunny hops into the spike/top-hat, and the whole layout is filled with ejector airtime galore.
  • I think ice breaker has the best ejector airtime in florida, and some of the best in the world.
  • The swing launch is fun and the back row on the vertical spike is like nothing else.
  • The swing launch is super fun into the beyond vertical spike.
  • The backwards spike gives really nice weightlessness and the layout features good pops of ejector throughout.

Performance

Vs. other coasters at SeaWorld Orlando

The swing launch section is fun with good airtime like I was expecting, what I was not expecting was the post swing launch section.

Henry Japha

It’s peppered with so many ejector pops, making even the slow-to-start swing launch actually very fun due to all the airtime pops.

Matheus Castello

the little airtime pops before the spike and top hat are surprising, and the spike itself has great float in the back row, and the top hat itself has some good whip in the front.

Sam M.

The last 2 launches have some excelent airtime over the small bunny hops into the spike/top-hat, and the whole layout is filled with ejector airtime galore.

Liight .

While the front won’t get any airtime on this element, the back car gets some floater airtime on the subsequent descent.

Canobie Coaster

Good ejector airtime and that top hat is awesome.

@Bloxy123

The tracking is mostly quite smooth as I have come to expect from Premier, but the trains suck, as I also expect from Premier.

Michael M.

It is so much easier to board now and the ride itself is so much more comfortable and just feels a lot more free.

Chris Jones

It also has a fun, modern layout and is a smooth, decently paced ride with hints of other types of forces as well.

Carter Eckhart

However, I also dreaded the airtimes because they resulted in the tight lap bar digging even harder into my thighs.

Coaster Nut

...ride at all lol, this part 0:59 really threw me up and I love airtime but omg it was very violent and it hurt lmao, the rest of the ride was alright but I’m not a fan, my mom didn’t like it either

@kieraareik.266

Rocked up expecting a family coaster experience, left realising it’s really not that and pretty intense!

Richard Turega

Some great positive intensity on the turnaround, and this coaster is 100% a sleeper at SWO.

Elliot J

It provided quite a bit of forces and airtime throughout the duration.

Max S.

It’s a very fun and intense layout, but the ride is a little short.

Alec Mr Coaster

It’s still a really fun ride and a great starter thrill-coaster for young, aspiring enthusiasts.

Sean Reardon

Past the coaster’s peak it maintains a relentless pace that has very quick and powerful ejector airtime.

am

I think it had very nice pacing, with no dead spots.

Coaster Bird

You get flung out of your seat in the back, and it goes extremely quick!

Shadow

This ride was very fun because of the incredible pacing and launches.

Alec Mr Coaster

It almost never slows.

Cillian Espinosa

Platinum pass member preview had no wait times.

brothers back row

Unfortunately, the premier rides trains let the ride down, and the seatbelt under the lap bar gives this ride the worst queues in the park.

Zach

My main gripe is that it is SUPER short for how long the line can get on peak days because they can only run one train at a time.

The backwards spike gives really nice weightlessness and the layout features good pops of ejector throughout.

Pedro Valverde, Captain Coaster review

I usually don’t harp on harnesses very often, but on this ride they were so painful.

Millan B., Captain Coaster review

but some moments are pretty wild such as the airtime hills after the top hat, and overall the entire layout after the top hat.

smacd, Captain Coaster review

Ice Breaker was probably my favorite at this park because it doesn’t give me a headache and it has more thrill than Pipeline.

David, Captain Coaster review

First off the harness is awful, it’s so confusing I couldn’t get out of it myself and it feels so tight in the seats it’s even hard to get in and out of it.

Keegan M., Captain Coaster review

Ice Breaker is a solid coaster that provides great ejector airtime, the swing launch is amazing and so is that spike especially if your sitting in the last row.
