One of the Most Anticipated Coasters of 2022, SeaWorld’s ALL-NEW Ice Breaker, Now Open to the Public
SeaWorld’s Annual Pass Members were the first to experience the ride during exclusive previews in addition to special benefits like free parking, free guest tickets, savings on merchandise and more.
ORLANDO, Fla. (February 18, 2022) -The moment that SeaWorld guests have been waiting for is finally here as one of the most anticipated coasters of 2022 is now open to the public, the ALL-NEW Ice Breaker. The coaster opened today commemorated with a special ceremony featuring the breaking of an ice ribbon, in keeping with the ride’s Arctic theme. SeaWorld Orlando, voted the best amusement park in the country by USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice poll in 2021, features the most coasters in a single theme park in Orlando.
Named after the icy Arctic summits, Ice Breaker features four airtime filled launches, both backwards and forwards, culminating in a reverse launch into the steepest beyond vertical drop in Florida - a 93 feet tall spike with 100-degree angle. The thrills continue as riders fly over a near vertical tophat maneuver into a series of exciting twists, turns, and airtime hills. The brand-new coaster is located across from the park’s Wild Arctic exhibit and complimented by the popular themed Glacier Bar and Altitude Burger.
“Our Annual Pass Members had an exclusive opportunity to preview the ride prior to opening and the feedback is fantastic!,” said Park President Kyle Miller. “Ice Breaker is a one-of-a-kind thrill ride which complements our existing exhilarating ride portfolio perfectly. With the opening of Ice Breaker, SeaWorld features the most coasters in a single theme park in Orlando and we are excited to introduce the rest of our guests to this highly anticipated coaster today.”
Reflecting the company’s commitment to conservation, SeaWorld welcomed Tara Riemer, President and CEO of the Alaska SeaLife Center to the grand opening. Primarily dedicated to marine research, education and wildlife response, the Alaska SeaLife Center mission matches closely to SeaWorld Orlando’s, making them a perfect conservation partner to help educate riders about the Artic and its inhabitants.
The best way to experience the ALL-NEW Ice Breaker is with a SeaWorld Annual Pass. Annual Pass Members enjoy 12 months of visits with special benefits like free parking, free guest tickets, access to special VIP events, savings on merchandise and more! Annual Passes start as low as $13/month with no down payment. Restrictions apply.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA [February 18, 2022] - “I said at the end of the last tour that I’d see you next time. I said I was going to get back to you. Well, I got back!” ~ Paul McCartney.
Following more than a year of speculation, Paul McCartney today announces the GOT BACK Tour, a 13-city return to U.S. stages, kicking off April 28 with his first-ever show in Spokane, WA and running through to June 16 in East Rutherford, NJ.

McCartney will make additional debuts with the GOT BACK Tour in Hollywood, FL; Knoxville, TN and Winston-Salem, NC, his first Fort Worth, TX and Baltimore, MD shows since 1976 with Wings and 1964 with The Beatles, and his first Oakland, CA date in 20 years. The tour also includes stops in cities where McCartney has put in more recent, yet unforgettable performances, including Boston, MA, Los Angeles, CA; Orlando, FL; Seattle, WA and Syracuse, NY.
The GOT BACK Tour will mark McCartney’s first series of live shows since his Freshen Up Tour wrapped in July 2019. Featuring McCartney’s longtime band - Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr. (drums)—the tour used enhanced state-of-the-art audio and video technology ensuring an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house. The 39-date 12-country odyssey concluding with a triumphant sold-out show at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles—a performance which instantly attained legendary status, generating rave reviews and best of 2019 accolades including:
“… Wow. After several decades now of writing about music and facing the perpetual challenge of translating what is beyond words into understandable language, that’s the best I can muster. Here in the heady aftermath of Paul McCartney’s final show of his Freshen Up tour at Dodger Stadium along with 50,000 of my fellow Angelenos on July 13, 2019 — Wow.” ~ American Songwriter
“The perfect display of the philosophy McCartney has embodied over his 60-year career in music… the perfect bow to tie up the perfect show, with the final lyric of the night an ever-appropriate one: ‘And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.” ~ Billboard
“Macca continues to put artists half his age and younger to shame with epic shows featuring his crackerjack band and a jukebox of hits.” ~ Entertainment Weekly Best Live Music Performances of 2019.
“The best thing about a McCartney show is how many generations of people leave with the broadest smile upon their face. Whether it’s the first time they’ve seen him or the tenth, he never, ever disappoints.” ~ Flaunt
“McCartney was in top form, his voice effortlessly climbing to the heights it always hit so easily back in the day…” ~ The Los Angeles Times
“The total and complete immersion into Macca Land was colorful and loud, rocking and rolling, nostalgic and present, and, above all, in the truest sense, marvelous… And, in the end, the love McCartney has taken for 60 years was equal to the love he’s made for generations.” ~ Relix
“Definitely we’re amazed by Paul McCartney’s blowout Dodger Stadium Show… McCartney remains a show-stopping entertainer of the highest order.” ~ Variety
With songs like “Hey Jude” “Live and Let Die,” “Band on the Run,” “Let It Be” and so many more, the McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show. Expect hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music—dozens of songs from McCartney’s solo work, Wings, and of course, Beatles catalogs, which have formed the soundtracks of our lives. McCartney and his band have performed in an unparalleled range of venues and locations throughout the Americas, the U.K., Europe, Japan, Australia, New Zealand and all points in between, including outside the Coliseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House, a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people, the closing show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert in 1966, a 2016 weeklong visit in the California desert that included two headline sets at the historic Desert Trip Festival and a jam-packed club gig for a few hundred lucky fans at Pappy & Harriet’s Pioneertown Palace, and a one-time performance broadcast live into space.

About Camping World Stadium
Camping World Stadium is owned and operated by the City of Orlando. Since opening in 1936 as a Works Progress Administration project by President Franklin D. Roosevelt at a cost of $115,000 and a capacity of 8,900, the stadium has undergone numerous expansions and name changes over the years. The historic venue underwent a massive $207.7 million reconstruction in 2014, which yielded 90% all-new construction and a completely modernized stadium. Its sustainable design achieved a LEED Silver Certification for new construction from the U.S. Green Building Council. In 2021, the stadium underwent an additional $60 million in construction upgrades and enhancements that included adding approximately 3,800 permanent seats on the North Plaza deck, creating a new premium Club Level on the east and west sides and installing more restrooms and concession areas for general admission. The continued investment has bolstered Camping World Stadium's ability to draw high-profile events like neutral-site college football games, the NFL Pro Bowl, WrestleMania, Monster Jam World Finals and big-name concerts while retaining its signature annual bowl games and events.
