Rode it 3 times, front, back, middle, all 3 rides were on point, definitely a sleeper hit, very enjoyable, and reridable
Ice Breaker is themed around the Arctic Circle, not Antarctica. That’s why it’s next to Wild Arctic and not Antarctica.
Glad you clarified this, my girlfriend is a biologist and she told me the same thing
Or, more likely, it's themed to the Arctic because it's next to Wild Arctic. Had it been put next to Antarctica, then it would have an Antarctic theme. And if it were in Busch Gardens, it would have an African theme. In other words, the "theme" here is clearly pasted on and has exactly zero to do with the actual experience.
@@kevinbhieey9188 I suppose it's a bit clever to call a ride with a lot of bunny hills "Ice Breaker"--the motion is like the ship, when it drives up onto thick ice and drops through it.
Honestly this ride is something Seaworld really needed. There are always those coasters at parks that are a stepping stone to the more intense rides at a park, and Ice Breaker is not only a perfect balance of intensity for thrill-seekers, but is such an accessible coaster for those who want not only want a more laid-back ride, but a coaster that can still leave an amazing impression despite being sort of a "family" coaster. Definitely a big and very welcome surprise!
I mean - other than the intimidation of the height and speed of Mako - This ride definitely has more intense moments. In the front row hitting the hill into the tophat after the final launch is an absolute insane moment of ejector.
Ice Breaker does seem to be the sleeper hit of 2022! I don't think many people thought this would be the second-best ride at the park!
Ice Breaker looks fantastic and as I have Magic Mountain as my home park I can say that West Coast Racers is the 3rd best out of all 19 coasters we have. Premier is making some really good roller coasters these days!
@@glasstechs Yeah!
I have to give you an agreed with you statement for this Comment it Also seems like it will be very underrated with All the new coasters this Year like Iron Gwazi also coming out this Year
I've been saying this would be a sleeper once the ride started testing.
This looks amazing but there’s no way it’s better then Manta
Fitting that I got an ad for Ice Breaker before the review.
This is definitely one of the two best ice-themed Premier Rides coasters with a backward launch and spike.
Mr. Freeze is the other one by the way.
Good point. Kinda odd that there’s two of them 😂
I will never understand why Six Flags didn’t clone Mr. Freeze in every park. That is one bad ass coaster.
@@justinkyle09 The first Mr. Freeze had reliability issues in its early years, and Batman and Robin: The Chiller, which used similar mechanisms and was also from Premier, was a mechanical disaster that they never really got to work right. So I imagine Six Flags' enthusiasm for making more of them was limited.
@@MattMcIrvin Now it somehow already exist the 3rd Premier Mr Freeze using Skyrocket and LSM drive.
But it located in Bandung, Indonesia.
Damn man a 9?! That’s legit!’ Can’t wait to ride it Saturday for my 40th
Not sure if you mean birthday or credit
@@eelovfx9200 I love coaster enthusiasts
Worked at Wild Arctic for so long. The ride holds a special place in my heart but it was long overdue. The whole aesthetic of Ice Breaker makes it a great spiritual Successor. Thank SW
Omg I love these reviews you do, to be honest this channel is the best roller coaster review channel I've watched
This looks great! I love the way you describe coasters, very articulately, and if you're a coaster fanatic like I've been all my life, you make perfect sense. You guys know I love your channel, but you've been really knocking it out of the park lately, congrats!
Thank you, so glad you enjoy the videos, we appreciate your kind words and support! :)
Rode this 4 times on January 18th because of my season pass. It was amazing, my mom and I rode all 4 times in row 4. The weather was freezing fitting for the coaster. I saw if you rode it once, try to ride it a second time it makes it so much better.
I think it looks to have a decent ride experience for sure, but I would definitely love some more theming such as rock work around the track and maybe some more theming along the switchback.
I rode this in April(employee preview). I 100% agree with you. I much prefer the back to the front, but will try out row 4. This is a ride with a kid’s height requirement (btw it’s 48” with an adult) but is far from a kids ride. I think it will be a smash hit
It is 54 inches this aged well
@@bradenjohnson4861 ok that’s cool braden, seeing as you didn’t read my post at all i’ll excuse it.
lol as soon as I saw the pov I knew the step up going into the spike was going to be insane. You just fly over the thing!
great vid as always, was a pleasure meeting you at islands of adventure!
Premier rides has been kicking it out of the park lately
I personally hate their trains tho
@@joshfreund6008 why
I rode it twice ... once in the 2nd to last row and once in row 3. It is an OK ride. I honestly wished that I'd like it more than I did. I was hoping my opinion would change on my 2nd ride, but it didn't. Maybe I'm just not an ejector airtime guy. Given the best-in-class floater airtime of Mako, it does make a nice compliment to the park.
Exactly! This ride was EXTREMELY underwhelming. The alow back and forth seems pointless, almost just like a gimmick...the shoulder bar is soft on your shoulders but hard on your head and face when it shakes you around. It is not tall at all, the first drop is okay, but it is soon killed by the immediate harsh head bashing into the shoulder straps. And before you know it, it is over.
Mako is a real coaster, I would consider this a kids starter coaster.
I just rode it today for the first time with my friend who was visiting, There was no line at all, wuth under a 5 minute wait! Not a good sign for a brand new coaster. We were wondering why and found out quickly when it was for me, like getting on Tigris, same crappy cars very hard to get on and off the train, too tight and uncomfortable. I won't ride Tigris, not worth the wait or pain for under a minute ride! This coaster beat both of us up. We got off not even wanting to give it a second try even with not line to wait in. Both of us ageeing we will not ride it again. I like a smooth fast ride with Floater air time, not a restricted uncomfortable seat and a ride that beats the crap out of you. The "comfort" straps slaped my arms and beat my ears up. I got thrown all over the place and going into the second part of the coaster, my lap restraint went in tighter on me just like Tigris does coming down the last hill making it terribly uncomfortable to me. I guess I am not an ejector airtime person either. Mako is the best Coaster in the park! I'll take the Floater air time anyday over ejector.
I can’t wait to return to Sea World to ride this ride! It looks fun.
That top hat looks crazy
I haven't ridden on it before. But one day I will! It looks like one of the best roller coasters of 2022!
I live in Florida and even though I feel we do have a lot of good coasters I always felt we lacked the best coasters in the world. Even though I doubt this coaster will be in any top 25 I'm glad to see we are getting coasters that coaster enthusiasts rate very high! Up next Iron Gwazi!
We literally have velocicoaster, incredible hulk, and hagrids
Now Disney has to step up their game
@@its_jj_maia tron and guardians. Guardians is also the longest indoor spinning coaster
@@coastersandcars only one of those I’d really call world class, maybe 2 depending on how much someone likes Hagrid’s
Uh that compelty wrong.
Mako is considered on of the best b and m hypers in the world.
Kraken considered by many the best floorless in the country.
Voclocoaster: well self explanatory
Iron Gwasi: look above
Kumba: this loved by pretty much everyone.
it looks like a lot of fun
Plan on riding it in a few weeks. Going in I was thinking it may be on the level of West Coast Racers or Full Throttle. I still kind of feel that way.
The switch track reminds me of Powder Keg
And Mr. Freeze
Coaster Studios aka Mr Taylor I have to call you one of the best Coaster Enthusiast reviewer of new coasters and older coasters that Have been there in the parks for a long long time your up there with Okaycoasters Theme Park Crazy Airtime Thrills and Eltoro Ryan Etc Etc
glad you enjoy the content!
I rode it with my school trip and it is insane
I thought the comfort collars were just so the ride didn’t need seatbelts, therefore only requiring one check instead of 2. Compare Full Throttle to West Coast Racers in that regard.
Roller coasters don't need seatbelts
I rode it for the first time a few months ago. That spike is super underrated!
The step up into the top hat looks as strong as zippin pippin s hill
I got stuck on ICE BREAKER today for over 30 mins cause of the transfer track
I almost wonder if this ride will reinvigorate the demand for Premier coasters! I mean the Sky Rocket model has taken off, but it seems like we haven't seen a huge boom in any of their other coasters outside of that. I mean I would definitely love to see an Ice Breaker-style coaster at parks like Adventureland, Holiday World, Great Escape, Frontier City, Darien Lake, or even at a couple Cedar Fair parks like Worlds of Fun, Valleyfair, and California's Great America.
Would love one of these at Holiday World!
Here's in Asia you can find the 3rd Mr Freeze using Skyrocket.
Not as crazy as original LIM, but nice successor.
For the most part, I agree with your review. I actually rode this once and I didn't have the comfort collar problem. They are gone! I will say this has very nice moments of ejector, especially the second launch forward into the top hat. Has some decent laterals and a good sense of speed throughout.
My problem with it? THOSE LAP BARS! On my ride, I got stapled so badly, I felt it a day later. I don't know if this is a problem with all Premier Rides trains, but these bricks single-handedly ruined what may have actually been a fun experience.
Rode it 6 times yesterday and had the exact same thoughts. I think the only complaint I have is that as a taller rider the comfort collar dug into my shoulders pretty bad x.x
Love your reviews!
I just got to ride it three times today with my Platinum preview privilege and it really was a fun ride and packed with more air time than I was expecting. I did get a bit of airtime on the fan turn but not much and I do think it will be a bit of a sleeper hit this year. The comfort collars weren’t that much of a hindrance on the ride but I can understand why they did put them on. I just wish they took them off Tigris.
everyone casually forgetting jta exists as a family coaster
i just spent a day at sea world and my god did icebreaker really pack a punch. super fun ride that exceeded all my expectations
Just got to ride it for the first time, they removed the comfort collars and added a seatbelt and a lapbar, i was in the 8th row and looking down on that beyond vertical spike is awesome, and i was out of my seat the whole ride
Yea it’s now standard waist seatbelt
Rode this twice two days ago. Man it was fun!
Based Premier ❤️
I wish I could ride this
This makes me want to rename Electronic Eel at SWSD to Altoids.
This is not a family coaster like marketed. A family coaster usually has a height requirement between 40"- 44" even 46" or 48" is a little high, but 54" is insane. Steel Vengeance is 52" and Ice Breaker has a height requirement higher than Steel Vengeance or Iron Gwazi which is 48". The trouble with riders over 48" and below 54" was the comfort collars. If the comfort colors were a problem with smaller riders remove them. Phobia Phear Coaster goes upside down and just has a lap bar without the comfort collars. I have seen these on Tigris and Tempesto. I have ridden Tempesto more because my home parks are Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg and I had more of a problem with the comfort collars on Tempesto then on Tigris. I don't hate these I actually kind of like them because it makes me feel more comfortable on the train. Out of the 3 Icebreaker is my favorite and my 11th favorite out of the 57 coasters I have ridden. Your videos are awesome and I hope to see more in the future.
Going to sea world Tomarrow in so exited so happy
Thank you so much for reviewing this coaster!! It looks pretty fun, but am not sure how I will like it vs. Mako and Kraken (my 2 current faves at SWO). I have to admit, I was kind of surprised that you rated Ice Breaker a "9". I am intrigued now... I am looking forward to riding it in early April when I go down to rassle w/ Iron Gwazi 🐊🎢 at Busch Gardens! Should be a damn good trip!!
Perfect review. I agree 100% after riding a few times during preview. ❤️
This roller coaster looks so fun! Where do you guys think (if you have ridden it) it will fall in a ranking of all SeaWorld Orlando roller coasters?
probably my second favorite in the park
I've been waiting for this review for a minute I've been contemplating on trying to ride this ride I don't know if I like it but if I at least get someone who have ridden it I might consider riding it
It’s a coaster that will exceed most peoples expectations because it’s better than it looks, so it’s a great choice.
It's funny how from across the lake this looks just like a mini velocicoaster
And they called this a family coaster “IT WAS NOT”
Most coaster enthusiasts would call any short small steel coaster without any inversion as a "Family Ride" anyway. Even if it has ejector airtime way more powerful than Steven
@@bocahdongo7769 They call Cheetah Hunt a family coaster, and that does have an inversion. Heck, I've even seen the small Eurofighters occasionally referred to as family coasters, and they have a beyond-vertical drop and three inversions. I think the term sometimes gets used by enthusiasts for any ride that isn't regarded as elite.
I think it's funny because *my* family considers Big Thunder Mountain Railroad to be at the very top of their comfort zone, maybe slightly beyond it. They'll refuse to go anywhere near a lot of rides generally called family coasters.
@@MattMcIrvin I do wish I would argue that this is just matter of expectation.
Then I realized I know someone who used to be ranked Cheetah Hunt as #1 because it such a pleasure, even outranked most of hyper and any looper, until he rode Steven. And let's say his view of the world is completely change
@MatohMcIrvin it has a higher height requirement than X2
Would you say the beyond vertical spike is better than a Mr. Freeze spike?
no
Can you do a new review of Carowinds?
it's on my to-do list! :)
Who’s here after they changed the 48” HR to 54”😂
I am
I made thought it was strange this coaster wasn’t put near the other Antarctica section of the park but my 8 year old daughter reminded me the artic is opposite of Antarctica and ice breaker is on the opposite side of the park so it’s actually very fitting. lol
I’m shocked they didn’t add more theming like fake penguins
That are from pittsburgh
The comfort callers are there because of how bulky the primer lap bars are they can not check a seat belt if the lap bar is down but they can check a comfort caller if the lap bare is down
Ice Breaker has the same 54" height requirement as Mako, Manta, Kraken, and when Pipeline the Surf Coaster opens it will also have a 54" height requirement. The next lowest height requirement for a coaster or water ride what ever you want to call Journey to Atlantis is 42" and Super Grover's has a 38" height requirement. Kids that are over 42" and under 54" can only ride 2/7 roller coasters here. If you have kids 42"- 54" take them to Busch Gardens Tampa because they have a better selection of rides like Cobra's Curse, Iron Gwazi, Cheetah Hunt, and Scorpion which all have a minimum height requirement of 42" or 48". When visiting with kids I recommended riding Cobra's Curse out of the 4 first and making your way up the ladder to Cheetah Hunt, Scorpion, and Iron Gwazi.
I think it will be good if they throw a corkscrew or a heartline roll in the ride to mix things up.
Its a family ride
@@bluetomato2184 yeah but people say cheetah hunt is family coaster but it has 3 inversions
@@JoeBoat0T those people are the same people complaining about literally every ride being forceless, and if they aren’t, the restraints are the problem XD
@@JoeBoat0T cheetah Hunt has 1 what are you talking about
No need
It need more ejector airtime. Like way more than necessary
It doesn't even have inversions! Why does it need comfort collars?
I agree it's intense enough to please thrill seekers but not too insane to scare kids away
Off topic but your going to Mexico next month?
no, this month
I’m Riding it my first time in 2 Weeks!
Journey to Atlantis is the transition coaster between Grover’s and Ice Breaker!
Wow ! nice coaster but I had to watch this review twice because I was more focused on the two of you as a couple... You guys look so good and happy as a couple.
This may sound weird, but I have been a sub for a long time and watching Taylor grow up so to speak from a kid to a young man.... I don't know what I'm trying to say : (
Really hope SeaWorld considers a Mack family invert to replace Wild Arctic. An enclosed 1700' coaster on that plot would fill the gap between Super Grover's and Ice Breaker perfectly.
Front seat for ejector and back seat for vertical spike
The restraints are so uncomfortable and I thought that it was in the Antarctica section
Also I had to walk through sesame place while a parade was going on lol
It looks fun it could go to LARONDE (vine boom sound)
I went here and I was lucky enough to get here right after Kraken was done being repainted and it was open but I got here to early and ice breaker wasn’t open yet, I live in Illinois right next to six flags great America and this was the only other major park I have ever been to besides great America and Disney world
Just got back from it and I think this was the first ejector experience iv ever had. It caught me off guard and I was wondering if this was an error on my part. Like did I not have the restraint all the way down?
The comfort collars don’t really bother me while going inside the trains but exiting the trains are a bit weird
I hope they can get a gravity group woodie that’s in between Ice Breaker and Grover’s
Can I use a clip of your video for one I’m making? I want to use that clip of you ejecting from your seat:
Please email me with more information about your request. Email address can be found in the description.
0:21 this part aged well 😃👍🏻
The airtime is definitely unexpected
Best Premier you’ve ridden?
nope
If I prioritize ejector airtime, do you recommend a 3,000 mile trip for Mako?? 🧐
Shambala offers stronger airtime than Mako because it has no trims. For you, I'd guess it's less than 3,000 miles too?
Will Taylor Resond To This Comment???
I got 3 night rides in a row on this. Very good but I much prefer mako!
my review: not a wow ride, but the 4 launches are the best
Not a family ride but x2 is
This is not a family coaster lol, looks like a solid coaster
If everyone says it’s a sleeper hit, it’s not a sleeper.
Well At least the Comfort Collars are Gone!
My sister's ganna ride it with me I probably will cry
Better than West Coast Racers?
I am so confused at people saying this ride is good? The hard/soft shoulder bars that smash against your head, the slow buildup with a pointless back and forth, and the extremely short ride time....I would never ride this ride again. Maybe a ride for younger kids who want to try to get some courage, but for people who like real coasters like Mako..this is absolutely pointless and painful.
They got rid of those. It’s now standard waist seatbelt. Rode it twice and didn’t have an issue
I think this or kraken is the weakest coaster at seaworld but it’s still a great fun time, unfortunately it breaking down constantly has been concerning.
I only feel it could be the weakest because all the coasters at seaworld Orlando to me are really solid
the cars ( the space available) and the restrains are ridiculously bad on this ride......
"48 inches" that didn't last well.
Missed Punn: It doesn't Mak-o break the ride. Your welcome.
It doesn't break mako
7:21 this aged like milk
Out of the 3 new Busch rides I think Iron Gwazi wins for theming. Icebreaker’s theming is nowhere near as bad as Pantheon’s.
F
This aged well
Premier trains are a nightmare. You can't even lay your foot on the floor properly. You have to lay it sideways. The restraints don't auto pop up, hate that. The comfort collar are annoyingly awkward to remove and they won't sit to the side and they also don't feel very open. Never like a restraint that comes down on me either. And always prefer a train without shin guards.... looking at you RMC. Their trains aren't much better. The 2 worst in the business, I think.
This looks very forceful
Dumb ? The weird looking panels on the train is that just train design or are they for something like wind breakers. I'm talking about the sides and and the up word angled trust.
The drop is painful
Mako is good but I think this is little better than mako I
