EspañolGet transported into the rarely seen and icy world of Antarctica. You’ll feel the majestic grandeur of the South Pole and see it through the eyes of a penguin named Puck. You’ll be able to choose a “mild” or “wild” version of this trackless, motion-based simulator experience. After you step off the ride, you’ll explore the penguins’ colony in an expanse that envelopes you in cool extremes.
