Journey to Atlantis Hyperview Hypersmooth 5.0 at Night Front Row POV SeaWorld San Diego (12/31/2023)

5th and Last visit to SeaWorld San Diego and once again didn't rope drop in a similar situation of the last 2 days, going with my Family and at least I get to experience the park until it closes at 9 PM during a New Year's Eve. Speaking of Journey to Atlantis for this video, a Full Ride POV at Night in 4K 60fps as well as Hyperview POV for the On-Ride plus linear for the queue for backup when my phone gets out of storage, no major changes to the ride experience lately aside from the water bowl enabled the whole way through for me to lose most vision and re-enabling "It looks like we're heading to Poseidon's Grotto" Maggie spiel towards the tunnel before the tilting Elevator/Gantry Lift segment. The only other time I've filmed the ride at night was on 2019 ( • Journey to Atlantis NI... ), but these clips are basically updated by extended walkthroughs, props, and the newly refurbished store merged with the themed Aquarium. Just in case I'm not doing another Night POV of this thing anytime soon. As I ride more and more, I want to balance out of making POVs and riding casually to feel more ride into because I sometimes during the ride stare at the screen to aim for things surrounding me especially watching the Horizon-Locked effect. Anyways, enjoy these POV clips, until I find the chance to get these sorted in order for the edited POV especially with the brightening without a Low Light phone.

Details about this ride (Credit to Wikipedia and SeaWorld San Diego website): The second Atlantis opened in 2004 at SeaWorld San Diego. This version lacks the large interior scenes that the Orlando version includes; but makes up for it with the addition of a much larger roller coaster ride. Also, the boats on this version have individual lap-bars.
Track layout:
Riders advance out of the station slowly onto the chain lift hill that is covered in fog machines, which give the illusion of climbing up water. At the top of the lift hill, riders make a full U-turn on a roller coaster track, which wraps around the elevator tower which stands at a height of 95 feet, while traversing a small hump. This turn offers the riders a view of the main roller coaster portion and parts of the park, in which boats emerge above the U-turn. The boat heads toward the 83 foot tall plunge tower, which bares an arched portico with fountain pouring down directly onto the tracks. The boats slip under, plunging down a 60-foot (18 m) flume channel into a pool of water. During the plunge, photos are taken of riders. The boat then makes a left-handed U-turn in the water pool and meanders through the pond gently.The boat then enters the plunge tower building at the base. The building is dark inside. The boats enter a room which lights up dimly and begins to flood. (Water comes through crevices in the wall to achieve the effect). The boats roll out of the room into the darkness and onto a special track that works like an elevator, carrying two boats simultaneously. The elevator rocks from side to side while traveling up, as though being pushed by an ocean current. The elevator stops to reach the maximum height position on the ride's course. The boats drop down a 70-foot, 270° curved drop and rise element, followed by a small block brake section. The boat then drops again into another banked hill, followed by a banked bunny hop which lands into another pool of water. The boats then meander through the pool and up a small lift hill to the loading area. A sliding switch track enables high-capacity, faster loading and unloading process.
