Tips and attractions to enjoy the park

Home | Orlando | SeaWorld in Orlando: Tips and attractions for parking

SeaWorld in Orlando has reinvented itself every year. The park, which opened in the early 1970s, is today, next to Busch Gardens, one of the favorites among roller coaster lovers who are promened in the city. In addition, he maintains classic attractions that talk about the animal kingdom, recently inaugurated an area dedicated to children and received the International Certificate of Autism.

We spent a day in the park, met the main attractions and give the right tips for you to enjoy the best there.

SEAWORLD IN ORLANDO

This was my third time in Orlando. I was excited because it would be the first time I would face my fear and enjoy the most radical roller coasters in the region. Only my hotel was right in front of SeaWorld and when I entered my room and opened the window, I ran into Mako, the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster in Orlando. I will tell you that I was scared to kkkk.

You know that bipolar feeling? On one side, I didn’t see bedtime and wake up to go on the roller coaster. On the other, I wanted to close the window and pretend there was nothing there lol. I think this medio is what makes the extreme toys of the parks even more funny, right? And isn’t that I liked Mako so much that I’ve been three times?

But let’s go in parts, right? In this post, I will talk about the park’s main attractions, including Sesame Street, which is the new children’s area. Since I started by telling my experience with Mako, let’s talk first about the roller coasters of SeaWorld in Orlando.

MAKO

I said that SeaWorld in Orlando has very radical roller coasters, right? Mako has “only” 61 meters high, is 118 km/h and is 1,451 meters long. Therefore, it is the tallest, longest and fastest roller coaster in Orlando. You know that feeling of cold in the belly that you look like you’re coming out of the chair? I felt it several times at Mako. Not to mention the steep falls and the feeling of zero gravity. You’re gonna take a little time just looking? Go! Go! It is worth facing fear! Too much!

Ahh, and you know what was cooler for me? I could go on glasses on that roller coaster. It was an incredible feeling to see the world upside down!

MANTA

If Mako is awesome, Manta I don’t even know what to say. I was also three or four times in it. It is the only flying roller coaster in the world. The coolest thing about Manta is that you go lying looking at the ground! There is no cart. You keep your legs loose looking down. Looks like we’re flying. It’s an incredible feeling.

KRAKEN

Kraken is the third roller coaster at SeaWorld in Orlando. It is 45 meters high and 105 km/h. Before, visitors wore virtual reality glasses during this attraction, but now they are no longer distributed. I didn’t go on my glasses, but I loved the experience without them.

| BRINQUES THAT MOLHAM

At SeaWorld in Orlando there are two toys that wet a lot and are very fun. Check it out:

INFINITY FALLS

Infinity Falls is the latest of them. The boat passes through tropical forests during a very quiet and pleasant walk. Only suddenly, we are surprised by the biggest drop in a rapid attraction. The most fun is that the stroller/boat goes up by an elevator. So you can’t have much thought of what will happen next. The tower is 12 meters high. You can understand why we got so wet, right?

JOURNEY TO ATLANTIS

This water roller coaster is also a must-see. You know when you think it’s over, that it’s all the falls and you can’t get wet anymore? So this happens in Journey to Atlantis. Suddenly, another fall comes and you have even more fun.

| SESAME STREET

One of the main news of SeaWorld in Orlando is Sesame Street, a new children’s area.

I was impressed with the size and amount of attractions for children. The area is all inspired by the characters of the Sesame Street, such as the garden of Abby Cadabby, the nest of the Big Bird, and the Mr. store. Hopper.

In addition, every day during the afternoon there is a special stop, the Sesame Street Party Parade, with parade of the characters, lots of music and color. The kids are crazy. Ahh, and you can also take pictures with Elmo and more stars and stars in the class.

Sesame Street has six attractions, such as roller coaster, elevator and train, plus more than 30 educational and interactive activities for children. Ahh, the day we were there was very hot and you know what the kids were enjoying doing the most? Stay at Rubber Duckie Water Works, wet playground, to cool off. I even wanted to stay there lol.

| MORE Attractions

In addition to the roller coasters and children’s area, the park has several attractions about the animal kingdom.

WILD ARCTIC

This is a flight simulator on the glaciers of the Northern Hemisphere.

ANTARCTIC: EMPIRE OF THE PENGUIM

In this attraction, it is possible to know the habitat and the reality of penguins. At first, visitors stroll in carts. Afterwards, they have the opportunity to see the animals more closely in an environment that was created with the same temperatures as the penguins’ real habitat. SeaWorld in Orlando does research for the preservation of the species.

SKY TOWER

This famous tower (not an elevator that dumps hein) has been in the park since its inauguration. From above, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Orlando (roomdown).

DISCOUNT ON SAFE PROS US In the United States, the prices charged by hospitals and doctors are very high. Therefore, it is very important to take a travel insurance still in Brazil, with it you travel quietly in case of unforeseen health, delays or cancellations of flights. The Rafa has already fractured the column abroad and had to be transferred by helicopter. Can you imagine how much it would cost if he had no insurance?

It is worth remembering that, in general, the places where the shows take place are very big. Even so, it is good to arrive at least 10 minutes in advance to secure a good place.

| Attractions of BASTANERS

For those who are interested in the animal world, the park offers some behind-the-scenes attractions, which show the daily lives of SeaWorld professionals, in addition to talking about each species. These attractions are paid apart.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR

On this tour, you will have the chance to see the animals that have been rescued by the park more closely and you will also be able to talk to the experts about the care they have with these animals and others, such as sharks and penguins.

We saw several manatees who were rescued by the park. Many animals of this species are affected by red tide, boat crashes and cold current.

The importance of this tour, in addition to being able to see closely the rescue program of the park, is the environmental education that it goes through, showing what it is necessary to do for the preservation of the species.

Ten percent of the ticket value of this tour goes to the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, which helps species preservation projects around the world.

| CERTIFICATE OF AUTISM

The good news is that SeaWorld, as well as Discovery Cove and Aquatica, received the International Autism Certificate of International Accreditation Standards and Continuing Education (IBCCES). It is worth remembering that currently 1 in 59 children is diagnosed with autistic spectrum according to the Council.

The entire park team has undergone an awareness and awareness training done by IBCCES, in addition to the verification of the park areas and the visitor experience.

Training encompasses sensory and environmental awareness, communication, motor and social skills, developmental programs, and emotional awareness, as well as a competency exam for autism.

In planning the visit to the park it is possible that families access through the site a guide that informs the levels of sensory stimulation of each attraction and shows which are according to the needs of each visitor.

In addition, the park has some quiet spaces, such as Sesame Street, with adjustable lights and comfortable seats so the visitor can take a break.

Since April 2019, SeaWorld is considered a Certified Autism Center (CAC).

| THE DECOVERED PROGRAM

SeaWorld’s program of rescue animals that have suffered some kind of attack in the environment or that were stranded, sick or injured also plays a key role in Orlando.

From January to April 2019, for example, 85 birds, 24 turtles and 11 manatees were rescued by SeaWorld in Orlando.

The program works as follows: the government triggers the park when it is necessary to rescue some animal and after readapted and healthy again the government itself decides whether the animal can be released or where it will go.

You can learn more about the rescue program by doing the Behind-The-Scenes tour, which we talked about above. In it, you can see up close the work done by the park and also talk to the professionals who take care of each of these animals. Ten percent of the tour ticket is destined to the SeaWorld & Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, which helps projects worldwide, including in Brazil.

OWNER OF FUNCTIONING

The park is open all year from 10am to 6pm. During the summer and on holidays, the park works until later.

The GRESS GRESS

See on the park’s official website the value of updated tickets. If you want to also visit Busch Gardens or Aquatica and Discovery Cove, for example, it is worth seeing how much the combo that gives access to more than one park during the trip comes out.

Children up to two years old do not pay.

CHILD SWAP

This is great for those traveling with young children. You can get one of the person responsible for the child to go to the toy and then exchange with the other without him having to catch the whole line again.

QUICK QUEUE

For those who do not want to face queues, especially in high season, it is worth buying the Quick Queue. It gives priority access to SeaWorld’s top attractions, such as the roller coasters. It costs from US$ 19 per day.

Speaking in line, on the park’s website you can see the average queue time at each attraction.
