SeaWorld Orlando is one of the top theme parks in Orlando’s world-renowned tourism scene. Not only will you have a ton of fun at this fantastic theme park, but you will also learn a thing or two about the marine animals that call it home. If you are looking for the top attractions to experience while you’re here, use this guide!
1. Manta
Swooping over sea and sky, Manta inspires riders with incredible underwater animal habitats. It then soars them face-down, in a horizontal position, aboard a manta-inspired flying coaster. As is the case of most of SeaWorld’s attractions, Manta is an exhibit as well, showcasing stingrays and other exotic animal life.
2. Kraken
An exhilarating roller coaster, Kraken speeds up to 65 miles per hour and reaches a height of 151 as it loops its way high over Serpent’s Lagoon. The park’s first roller coaster, Kraken is a coral teal, floorless beast that takes riders through a trough of inversions.
3. Mako
Mako is the third major roller coaster at SeaWorld Orlando. It’s a very different beast from its two predecessors, Kraken and Manta. It’s 200-foot tall and uses every bit of that height to move its train at speeds exceeding 70 miles an hour.
4. Journey to Atlantis
A one-of-a-kind “watercoaster,” Journey to Atlantis takes you on a water flume adventure aboard an eight-passenger boat. The ride features a re-creation of the mythical city of Atlantis, and a 60-foot-drop into a splash pool (prepare to get soaked!).
5. A’Lure The Call of the Ocean
A one-of-a-kind show at Nautilus Theater, A’Lure is a mystical odyssey boasts live music, acrobatics, and comedy, along with state-of-the-art special effects.
6. Wild Arctic
Experience a simulated jet helicopter ride to “Base Station Wild Arctic”. This ride is a walk-through animal habitat that features polar bears, walruses, beluga whales, and harbor seals.
7. Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island
Billed as a tale of “lost loot, pirate plunder, and misadventure on the high seas,” Clyde and Seamore Take Pirate Island takes you on a hilarious swashbuckling adventure. The show stars a talented group of sea lions, otters and an immense walrus!
8. Blue Horizons
A theatrical spectacular, Blue Horizons showcases majestic animals such as dolphins and false killer whales. It also features talented divers, trapeze artists, and exotic birds.
