For the updated attraction, the storyline will have visitors take on the role of Arctic researchers. They will join a field team on an simulated exploration mission through the arctic.
The ride system and some other aspects of the attraction will remain the same. For instance, the ride will still feature exhibits with real-life arctic animals such as beluga whales and walruses.
Expedition Odyssey will also keep its 39-inch minimum height requirement.
The new version of the attraction will debut this spring.
