Hi welcome.
Here is a small clip from a news story. Try using GOOGLE.com to look for news articles.
Anyway all it says is the ride was shut down and the ride was evacuated as a precaution. Here is a news link. [URL=http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040615-070214-2124r.htm]Click for small news story.[/URL]

Wow. The funny thing is, is that i was just in San Diego and though not was I at Sea World, I was five minutes from it at Belmont Park. I saw Journey to Atlantis run while we drove passed it. It was Saturday, the 19th. I just got back from San Diego yesterday. I hope everything is ok around there. Sucks that the ride is new too and it just got hit.

Here is a more indepth article about the quake. Sea World stuff is toward the bottom.[URL=http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/northcounty/20040616-9999-2m16quake.html]Click for another story[/URL]
Here is a quote.
SeaWorld operators quickly shut down the Mission Bay park's new, 95-foot-tall Journey to Atlantis coaster ride and evacuated 35 riders by stairway. After an inspection, the ride was back in operation by 5:45 p.m., said SeaWorld's Dave Koontz. .

It was just shut down briefly and people had to be taken off of it, a fairly ordinary e-stop related to the earthquake.
