Performance

Vs. other coasters at SeaWorld San Diego

After that is the main coaster portion, which is very short, and a bit rattly, into one more splashdown into the brake run.

There’s a horrendous rattle and the only good parts of the ride are the first drop and the elevator lift.

I forced my brother on this and he was crying but the ride was so lame he couldn’t even be scared anymore

Jake Katz

Nothing has any force.

Sean S.

As it is right now, the ride operates in total silence with no effects, as it soullessly drops you twice with like five minutes of dead time in between.

Evangelion Martini

Needs theming and less dead space.

Shmee

The capacity on this ride is also horrendous, this was probably one of my longer waits at Seaworld.

The drop gives great ejector, the rest of the ride after the elevator drop off is fun but not thrilling.

Francisco Perez, Captain Coaster review

This coaster is just okay, it is pretty fun but it doesn’t do much.

AZCOASTERS, Captain Coaster review

I’m not a big fan of water rides, at least not on dry parks, so I’m not a huge fan of this thing, but the coaster section was fun!

Matheus Castello, Captain Coaster review

The coaster section isn’t exactly very interesting, but the ride as a whole is unique enough that I can’t really hate it.

Gabe S, Captain Coaster review

As one of SeaWorld’s major rides, Journey to Atlantis is a lot of fun and a good way to cool down on a hot day.

Theme Park James, published review

This was my first water coaster, and it was definitely a fun experience overall, but as a coaster it doesn’t hold up very well compared to others.

Eli Lassiter Michael, Captain Coaster review
