The queue also features an original musical score by composer Rick McKee. The usage of handrails and permanent shade structures is minimal, and educational signage spread throughout the queue offer facts about the Electric eel.
The Queue area meanders around an ocean floor landscape located in front of Electric Eel, near the Ocean Explorer park area. As planned, Electric Eel officially opened to the public on May 10, 2018. However, on April 17, the date was moved up to two days earlier than originally planned, on May 10, whereas park representatives cited the project to be well ahead of schedule. On March 29, 2018, amid the ride's test runs, SeaWorld officials set Electric Eel's opening date for May 12, 2018. During a media tour on the said date to commemorate the topping off, the ride's car was first unveiled. Vertical construction began shortly after, and wrapped up on January 17, 2018. Work began later that year, and crews installed more than 200 6-foot (1.8 m) diameter columns up to 40 feet below ground in order to support the ride's 11,000-square-foot foundation mat, which was completed by November 2017. Electric Eel was proposed in January 2017 to be located on the park's eastern side, near the existing Journey to Atlantis water coaster, and given its notable height, would be painted lighter colors from the 60-foot mark and higher in order to comply with transparency requirements. The coaster would be a launched coaster from Maryland-based Premier Rides, and alongside three new attractions opening later that year would mark a 24-month period of the park's largest growth since their opening in 1964. On January 3, 2017, SeaWorld San Diego announced their intention to add the Electric Eel roller coaster in time for the summer 2018 season. An educational centre and exhibit can also be found by the attraction. The coaster opened in 2018 and became the park's tallest and fastest roller coaster until the opening of Emperor in 2022, and is themed around the Electric eel. Electric Eel is a steel launched coaster at SeaWorld San Diego in San Diego, California.
