Seaworld Orlando Overview
Seaworld is a polarising park. For decades its main draw has been it’s captive whale program but public distaste in recent years has forced Seaworld to re-brand and re-focus while still staying core to its mission of conservation. The Seaworld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund has donated over $18 million in grants in its near 20 year history.

Walking Distances
The physical aspect of walking around theme parks almost every day for 2 or more weeks comes as a surprise to many people. To illustrate the physical exertion, I use my Google Fit app to track my step count and distance walked in each park. I’ve crunched the numbers and the figures below represent my most recent visit to the park.

Attractions
Roller Coasters
The rollercoasters here are relatively new additions, the product of a shift in corporate strategy which is beginning to pay off.
Thrill Rides
You could argue that the water rides here just fall into the thrill category but they are also family crowd pleasers.
Water Rides
A one-two punch of a world-first hybrid ride and current record holder makes Seaworld’s water attractions some of the best.
Immersive Rides
This is a new direction for Seaworld so expect the dark and immersive ride count to rise with new investment.
Children's Rides
Children can experience a real life version of one of the most iconic series in history in Sesame Street Land.
Shows
Traditionally where Seaworld excelled, the show count is reducing. The shows that remain are more balanced with a focus on education.

Insider Tips
Work Around The Shows
With so few rides compared to other parks in Orlando, shows will be your priority.
Download the Seaworld App to view showtimes for the day of your visit. Alternatively, pick up a park map at the entrance which has the day’s showtimes printed on it.
Once you know what time you need to be an where you can start figuring which rides you would like to do.
Consider Quick Queue
Quick Queue, Seaworld’s premium skip-the-line attraction access pass offers one of the best value passes and it comes in unlimited as standard.
The price increases in peak seasons but still offers good value for if you like repeated visits to some of Orlando’s biggest roller coasters.
Consider Plusing Your Day With A Tour
Seaworld Orlando VIP Tours are very informative and educational. If you have a particular species of marine animal you would like to get to know better Seaworld probably has a VIP tour that can accommodate you.
