History
In 1989,
In August 1994, the Orlando location announced that it will be rethemed to Wild Arctic which opened in 1995.[2] The San Diego location soon followed in 1997, closing their version (opened in 1994) to be replaced by the ride. Wild Arctic added animal exhibits at the exit of the motion simulators.
In 1999, SeaWorld Ohio, a SeaWorld park in Aurora, Ohio, announced plans to open Mision: Bermuda Triangle which opened in 2000.[3][4] When it was added, it was the only ride at SeaWorld Ohio, as the park was forbidden to add any rides because of its location next to the adjacent Six Flags Ohio. The next year in 2001, SeaWorld Ohio merged with Six Flags Ohio to become Six Flags Worlds of Adventure, with the SeaWorld portion becoming the Wildlife Section area.
In March 2004, the theme park was sold to Cedar Fair for $145 million and reverted it back to the park's original name, Geauga Lake. The ride along with the other attractions in the Wildlife Section were replaced by the Wildwater Kingdom water park in 2005.
