{{Short description|Water coasters at SeaWorld
{{Use mdy dates|date=August 2024}}
{{refimprove|date=September 2018}}'''''Journey to Atlantis''''' is the name shared by three [[Water Coaster (roller coaster)|Water Coasters]] located at [[SeaWorld]] [[theme parks]]. These attractions, while different from one another, tell a similar story of a trip to the mythical land of [[Atlantis]]. Each one combines roller coaster elements, such as chain [[lift hill]]s and steep drops, with boat-based attraction elements, such as splash-down landings. All three attractions were designed by [[Mack Rides]] of [[Germany]].▼

The original
During its seasonal maintenance in March 2017, SeaWorld greatly altered the ride's theme; all effects featuring Allura the Evil Mermaid and Hermes the Fiber-Optic Seahorse (audio and lighting) were removed.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://attractionsmagazine.com/evil-mermaids-removed-from-journey-to-atlantis-ride-at-seaworld-orlando/|title=Evil mermaids removed from Journey to Atlantis ride at SeaWorld Orlando|last=Roseboom|first=Matt|date=March 27, 2017|website=Attractions Magazine|access-date=September 28, 2018}}</ref> The musical score and sound effects that once narrated the emotional arc of the ride disappeared too, and the ride's score was replaced with a continuous loop of Rick McKee's original score (borrowed from the park's former cirque-style show, ''A'lure – Call of the Ocean'') with celebratory exterior music.

The ride vehicles on
===Track layout===
The boat makes a right-hand U-turn leading to a short drop with a large splash and a final lift hill that leads back into the temple for one final encounter with the siren. At the top of this lift hill, the boat is now on a roller-coaster-type track. The boat escapes from the siren into the darkness, down a spiraling drop to the left before swooping up and landing in a final splash-down pool. The boat makes one final U-turn to the right before returning to the station.
