SeaWorld Orlando

The Write-Up

The full story

SeaWorld pairs a working marine park with serious coasters: Mako's airtime hills, the Pipeline surf coaster and the family coaster Penguin Trek, with orca presentations and a shark tunnel slowing the pace between rides. Guests call it an incredible experience for families, with shows and food and drink options all over the park. The classic trade-offs apply, crowds and long waits at the headliners, so ride early and let the presentations carry the middle of the day.
