Sea World Orlando - Rides

 

RIDES

Welcome to Sea World Orlando

In this update, we are going to take a closer look at the major attractions at the park

Manta is a B&M built flying coaster

It is actually one of the larger installations of a flying coaster model and it is actually quite intense

The theme and placement of the ride really add to the overall experience.

Journey to Atlantis is the park's flume ride that features multiple drops and dark ride scenes

Kraken Unleashed was the park's original B&M coaster

This multi-looping floorless coaster was really the attraction that put the park on the map for ride enthusiasts.

The second portion of the ride features elements

While it is the oldest B&M at the park, it still carries a major punch.

Mako is the newest B&M coaster at the park.

This hypercoaster really changed the skyline of the park.

Fast and full of airtime, this was a great addition to the park

The park recently upgraded their rapids ride to the new Infinity Falls

What used to be the tallest drop on a rapids ride (until SDC built Mystic River Falls) this ride will leave riders completely drenched

There is no escaping the water on this ride.

The newest thrill ride at the park is Ice Breaker

This multi-launch coaster was supposed to be open Spring 2021

However, like most new SEAS parks attractions, this one is still not open for some odd reason.


Sea World Orlando - Exhibits

 


EXHIBITS

Welcome to Sea World Orlando.  In this update, we are going to focus on the different animal exhibits the park has to offer.

Ray Touch Pool

Underwater Dolphin Viewing (this is the same pool that the dolphin encounters take place)

Sea Turtles at Turtle Trek Pools

Turtle Trek pools

Manatees at Turtle Trek pools

Aligators at Turtle Trek pools

Aquarium at Manta rollercoaster

Coral tank

Giant pink starfish

Octopus

Looking into the main tank.  You will find schools of fish, rays and sharks



There is also a small tank of clownfish

While the ride is closed, the penguin exhibit at Empire of the Penguin is open

It is "winter" in the southern hemisphere right now so the lights are not as bright right now

Aquarium at Atlantis


Moon Jellies

Since the sea lion show is currently closed, this is the only place to see them

The sea lions were very talkative today

The Wild Artic ride is currently closed but the animal exhibits are open

Nice and cold in here

The neat part about this exhibit is that you can see animals above and below the water

This walrus was just hanging out

The seals were doing laps

The dolphin nursery is fun to visit.  These younger dolphins really are active and like to play

The Manatee Rehabilitation area is always interesting to visit

It is amazing how many animals Sea World helps annually.

The major animal exhibit is the Shark Encounter

This tank features an underwater viewing tube



Some very impressive aquatic animals on display.

We'll end this update with some flamingoes, but we are only getting started with our coverage of Sea World Orlando.
