LEGOLAND owner Merlin Entertainments has officially announced details of three more attractions coming to Central Florida, prominently featured on Orlando’s famed International Drive.

I-Drive 360 is now the name of the project formerly known as I-Drive Live, announced to open in Spring 2015 featuring multiple attractions, restaurants, and shops close by Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and Walt Disney World.

Vibrant, contemporary indoor plaza at I-Drive 360 bustling with visitors exploring gift shops and ticket counters beneath a soaring glass dome, just steps away from Madame Tussauds and the Orlando Eye—perfect for fans of iconic attractions and entertainment experiences.

Its biggest attractions will be The Orlando Eye, Madame Tussauds and Sea Life aquarium.

The Orlando Eye will be the centerpiece, a little sister to London’s world-famous landmark. The giant observation wheel will offer views of the surrounding area from within fully enclosed, air-conditioned glass capsules. The attraction will begin before boarding with a 4D film featuring fireworks, wind, smells, and lighting.

The world-famous celebrity wax attraction, Madame Tussauds, is also coming to Orlando for the first time as part of I-Drive 360. It will feature detailed, lifelike wax figures of celebrities and historical figures in areas named A-list party (below), Sport, and Music History.

Guests dressed to impress mingle in a sleek, modern lounge glowing with purple lights and offering sweeping nighttime views of the city, all just footsteps from the illuminated Orlando Eye at ICON Park.

Just a few minutes’ drive from SeaWorld Orlando, Merlin is building their own aquarium-based attraction called Sea Life Orlando, featuring displays of more than 5,000 sea creatures, including fish, sharks, jellyfish, sea horses and more. It will feature winding tunnels, floor-to-ceiling tanks, bubble aquariums, and an interactive touch pool across 25,000 square feet along with educational components.

Guests explore the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium, strolling through an underwater tunnel surrounded by vibrant coral, colorful fish, and a striking stone lion statue. Just outside, top attractions like Madame Tussauds Orlando and The Wheel at ICON Park await within the I-Drive 360 entertainment complex.

Guests marvel at a giant seahorse inside SEA LIFE Orlando Aquarium at ICON Park, while nearby, a child peers into another aquatic display—both just steps away from The Wheel and Madame Tussauds Orlando.

All three of these attractions are scheduled to open in Spring 2015.
