SeaWorld Orlando is one of my favourite parks it is a superb place to visit. It is set in 200 acres of beautiful gardens and exhibits. There are several lakes with flamingos and other wildlife species. We almost always visit this park on the first day as it is a more peaceful, tranquil introduction to the hectic pace that the other theme parks in Orlando can be. There is lots to see and do at SeaWorld. Many people enjoy the dolphin and killer whale (Shamu) shows. The food in both Busch Gardens, SeaWorld and now the new water park Aquatica, tends to be better than average as far as theme park food goes. There also a more healthier choice should you want it.

Sea World Rides

Sea World Thrill Rides

Kraken is a steel roller coaster. Its name is taken from the Kraken, a mythological sea creature. It was the first floorless coaster in Florida. It boasts three tunnels. Features of this coaster include a loop, dive loop, zero-G roll, cobra roll, a second loop, and a corkscrew. The initial drop after climbing the height of the coaster is a very steep and fast decent.

Journey to Atlantis is a popular ride at SeaWorld theme park. The ride is a water thrill ride and some parts of it are a bit like a roller coaster.

It starts on a slow journey climbing the ride, taking the you through the depths of the ocean and through the legendary city of Atlantis. Once at the top of the ride, you are are hurled down a steep drop of 60 foot, creating a huge wave of water. After the huge drop, when you think it is over it isn't. We will leave you to find out what happens next.

Wild Arctic is a flight simulator where visitors take a helicopter trip to a base station at the North Pole. When the ride is over you can visit the Polar bears in their area. Or if you do not wish to do the ride you can head straight to the exhibit.

Pet's Ahoy! is a show using common cats, dogs and other animals. These animals were adopted from a shelter. These animals perform tricks and do humorous stunts.
The Sea Lion and Otter Show. Clyde and Seamore (A Sea Lion and Otter) lead you on a comical journey with their show Clyde and Seamore take Pirate Island. Probably the funniest part for me was whilst waiting for the show to start, they had a guy doing mime and pretending to show people to their seats.
