In 2008 Lagoon introduced OdySea - an interactive water ride designed for the old and young alike. This ride is another in a collection of family rides that Lagoon has been acquiring in an emphasis on their appeal for families.
'''OdySea''' is an interactive family water ride at Lagoon.


OdySea is a large flying fish ride that features 12 gondolas (fish) capable of rising 20 feet into the air. Each gondola can carry two people and offers an interactive piloting system making it possible to raise and lower your fish to any desired height. One of the neatest aspects of the fish is a communication system that warns you of approaching spitting fish then notifies the passengers via lighted arrows whether they should climb or dive to avoid getting wet. People who fail to follow direction both purposely and by mistake will find themselves on the receiving end of a refreshing spray of water.

With the addition of this ride Lagoon made many improvements to the area and with the removal of the terrace has opened up the area more than ever before. One feature of the area is a new history wall on the building to the west of OdySea that features many old pictures and a brief history of the park.
The ride is somewhat similar to [[Scalawags]] in its operation.


Surrounding the ride is heavy sea theming designed to enhance the ride's' appeal and offer more excitement to those preparing to ride. And for those of you that want to enjoy OdySea but fear your size may keep you from getting on the ride need not fear. OdySea has Lagoon's first and only test seat making it possible to try out the gondola before getting in line to ride.

Next time you visit Lagoon you have to try out this ride. At least pass through the area and enjoy the beauty of the new ride. OdySea is definitely worth it both in looks and in improvements to a stale area of the park.

OdySea is an interactive family water ride at Lagoon.

Ride Details

OdySea is a large rotating ride that features 12 fish-shaped gondolas capable of rising 20 feet into the air. Each gondola can carry two people and offers an interactive piloting system making it possible to raise and lower your fish to any desired height. A whale, two dolphins, and a shark placed on the outskirts of the ride shoot water from their mouths at the gondolas as they rotate around the ride. A communication system notifies the passengers via lighted arrows whether they should climb or dive to avoid getting wet. People who fail to follow direction both purposely and by mistake will find themselves on the receiving end of a spray of water.

The ride is somewhat similar to Scalawags in its operation.

Location

OdySea sits in the location of the old Gaslight Terrace right next to the Opera House and the Bat. With the addition of this ride Lagoon made many improvements to the area. The park added a new history wall on the building to the west of the ride that features many old pictures and a brief history of the park.

Theme

The ride has a "Jules Verne-sque" aquatic theme and features a large octopus centerpiece that appears to be gripping each of the fish gondolas. The ride is suspended over a pool of water, and a large false-rock structure with two waterfalls sits behind the ride.

Song

As the ride operates, a song plays that was written especially for the ride. It is a song that explains the mechanics of the ride in a way that's written for children.

Test Seat

OdySea has Lagoon's first and only test seat making it possible to try out the gondola before getting in line to ride. The seat is a completely themed fish gondola that is not attached to the ride and sits near the ride's entrance. The seat allows potential riders to determine if they will fit comfortably in the ride.
