Last year, the Wild Arctic ride at Seaworld was transformed into the Polar Express Experience over the holiday season. After it’s successful run in 2007, the ride will again be based upon the popular Christmas movie. The attraction will open on Nov. 14 and run through to Jan. 04. Wild Arctic will close on Nov. 04 to allow for the transformation.

Also to return is the Shamu show, “Shamu Christmas… Miracles”. Guests can join Shamu for the holidays during “Shamu Christmas…Miracles.” This captivating show helps guests celebrate the holiday season as a time filled with hope and peace and just possibly, miracles. The 22-minute production comes to life daily from Nov. 12 through Dec. 25 at Shamu Stadium.

The Polar Express Experience and “Shamu Christmas… Miracles” are included in the regular park admission.

SeaWorld’s Makahiki Christmas Luau will be available from Nov. 12 to Jan. 4 (with the exception of Dec. 25). It features island cuisine and ancient Pacific Island traditions. It’s $46 general, $29 for ages 3-9. Theme park admission is not required for the Luau.
