The whole park was full, yet Wild Arctic had only a 10-minute wait. This shows really what people think - the themed animal exhibit is fantastic, the ride is lame:

Great update, thank you very much!
It looks like the progress on the Antarctica area is going slow but it´s a huge plot of land.
Awesome update!!! I just noticed the new numbs background! I like it so much!!!!!!!
I totally agree with you when you say that Antartica's themed animal exhibit is fantastic while the ride is lame!!!
I love the Wild Arctic ride. It's the perfect prologue the rest of the attraction. Sure it's not Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, but it's still a cool attraction.
As one who paid blood, sweat and tears to Seaworld I'm just dying of laughter right now at all the trouble they are having demolishing the Penguin Encounter building. There is a reason it was designated for "Hurricane Ride Out" for Park Operations!
Although I have to say, it's just not going to be the same without that smell.
@Carrie:
I actually think they are keeping the building there.. I don't know how they are going to use it or how it will be set up, but according to blueprints, both of those buildings will stay up :)
No, Wild Arctic is not Harry Potter, it's much better than that crap and other than the majority of Tomorrowland's attractions, there aren't many in this town it can say that about. Wild Arctic will always have that going for it at least.
