In March 2017, the ride finished its usual seasonal maintenance but Sea World changed the ride's whole theming, taking out all effects of Allura the evil mermaid and Hermes the Fiber-optic seahorse (audio and lighting).<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|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|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 soothing, ambiant, relaxing music (borrowed from the park's closed cirque-style A'lure – Call of the Ocean show) with generic celebratory Greek music on any exterior parts.
For a brief period prior to 2017, the Original version of the ride received mixed reviews, with complaints from parents and their families that the ride had infact terrified their children as was considered too scary even for younger kids, and often criticized the ride for its intensity (Much like the [[Magic Kingdom]]'s former attraction "[[ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter]]" and "[[Snow White's Adventures]]", at [[Walt Disney World]]).
