I've never had a bad experience with this park since I started coming here in 2010. Amazingly I like this park more than the ones at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando more.
I went to Seaworld Orlando on a spring break Sunday in April and I was still to get on each major coaster besides Manta and JTA multiple times with minimal waits within a few hours. Manta's wait did get up to 70 minutes but that mainly due to the coaster's very slow operations. I have a Seaworld San Diego platinum pass which I believe is the cheapest pass besides Seaworld San Antonio. I loved that I still got free preferred parking at the park as well as discounts on meals. Overall I did love the park. Beautiful park with vibrant colors everywhere under the Florida sunshine. Hope to get back soon.
This review nails it. I haven't been since February 2022. Couple things: 1) paddle boats by Mako finale are worthwhile with a great view if you can avoid the hottest part of the day. 2) I start the day with Kraken marathon until I get kicked off by arriving crowds, then Mako marathon, then everything else, then Manta in afternoon after the crowds have moved on from the front of the park. This park is my #1 in Florida because the quality rides per hour ratio is unmatched. A dark ride would be great here, but 60-90 minutes in that underwater restaurant by Mako totally rejuvenates you on a hot day. I can't believe they let us buy San Antonio platinum pass to access Orlando. One of the last great free lunches out there.
I haven’t been to Universal yet, but as of now, this is ever so slightly my favorite park in Florida. I slightly prefer it to BGT because Iron Gwazi was closed for me last year, and Mako was amazing, but I wouldn’t be surprised to BGT overtake it after I hopefully get on Iron Gwazi this summer
I really like Sea World. They need to build a dark ride or two, but it's a great park for groups with people who aren't into thrill rides. They aren't waiting too long on the thrill junkies with the short waits, and there are a lot of shows, exhibits, and other entertainment to enjoy. I'm not exactly happy about the stand up announcement, but maybe it'll turn out alright. A dark ride or two (Sesame Street seems like a no brainer) and a proper mid thrill level family coaster would really round out the lineup.
Hot take: SeaWorld Orlando is my second favorite park in Florida, below Islands of Adventure and above Busch Gardens (I know a lot of people don’t agree but I stand by it)
The last time I visited this park was when they first announced Kraken. Now it’s pretty much a B&M show room. I love B&M but keep sleeping on this park whenever I visit Orlando. Excellent review, btw. I’m definitely going to keep your recommendations in mind the next time I (hopefully) visit
I’ve been to all the major parks in Florida, and I put this second. Mako is so good, the food is great, the lines are short, and the shows are awesome. This is over BGT, mainly because the food lines at BGT were terrible.
When I visited about 2 months ago, I also visited Busch Gardens Tampa on a single 2-park ticket. Maybe it was the off-season, it was $89/for a 2-day visit, one day at each park! What a fantastic deal. I also visited Universal, but that was more than double the price and crowds. This value proposition of SeaWorld + Busch Gardens was great, especially factoring in the lines. Surprisingly this combo was the best deal of all the parks I visited in the Southeast USA.
I used to love this park as a kid (10+ years ago) but my visit last month was disappointing. I loved Mako and as there was very little queue I got around 10 rides. But Kraken was pretty rough, and I was unlucky that Manta re-opened from maintenance days later. But the main thing was the staff and the SBNO attractions on weekdays. I went with my young nieces and the majority of rides for them were closed, only 2 of the Sesame Street rides ran. The ride crews were great (especially Mako) but the staff in shops and restaurants were super slow and disinterested. Also we didn't realise that balloons aren't allowed into the park, and before we could say anything the security guard pulled a pocket knife & cut free the Disney balloons we had bought the day before, which we would've happily ran back to the car instead. Totally different experience at Busch Gardens where every kids ride was open on a weekday and staff interactions were all good. SeaWorld just felt a bit neglected in comparison.
Sea World Orlando is by far the best Sea World Sea World Park. The lines for everything was a walk on when I went and I went over spring brake which is insane. The collection may not be super big but everything you can enjoy. Mako is overated in my opinion but I much prefer Ice Breaker. Kraken ha ok intensity but is still a smoot hB&M for everyone to enjoy. And Matna is such a good flyer. Journey always has those longest lines but I don't ride it much anyways. Still a great place if you want to hop on something.
I'm so excited that I get to visit this park at the end of November! I have visited once, but coasters scared me then so I didn't ride any of them. I have now learned to love coasters, and am now a total roller coaster enthusiast!
I would definitely go to seaworld next time I'm in Orlando. Last time I went to Orlando, I did universal and the wizarding world areas are great, but the lines are insane. 30 minutes waiting to get a butter beer, 2.5 hours for the hagrid rollercoaster ride. To me, no ride in the world is worth waiting more than an hour for AT MOST. Also what is missing here is a cost comparison between SeaWorld and universal or disney. Even as a Florida resident getting a steep discount, Universal was expensive. A flash pass is a must, and i think that at a 50 percent discount it was something like $300 per person for a single day with the ticket + flash pass. For out of state that's $600 for a single person for one day? That's way too expensive
Love that you mentioned the great hack to use San Antonio for cheaper season passes. That's my default option anyway, but it's what I've had friends do in the past who live in the midwest without a seaworld park
One of my favorite parks due to the quality over quantity focus. Great lineup and I haven’t been since 2018. Also the food is one of the best I’ve had at a park. I’m a big fan of voyagers smokehouse when I’m there. Plus the lack of lines is great
I did get to visit this park at its best in 2011, and it would've easily been my # 1 park then. Downgrades in the shows would follow, but the heart of the park is still there, and 2 great coasters have been added. It's still among my favorite parks. I never visit around summer, since the year round operations make it the perfect place to visit when schools are in session, with most of my days on weekdays for the shortest lines. The downside is that Kraken has sometimes been closed for me on a weekday here and there, just because of low demand for that ride on a slow day, and Atlantis is usually closed from New Years into March. I have seen Manta with short or no waits quite often, but that's probably because of when I go. It's not super quick operations, but much faster than I've seen with any other flyer. With Mako, I have multiple videos of the train dispatching while the other one is dropping under the lift, looking like they're colliding, so you are so right about how great those operations are.
We get free admission here working at universal and it awesome to just pop in from time to time. The layout is annoying, but you get used to it. The food is amazing, especially during festivals. This stems back from the Busch days when the chain used to win best food awards. I didn’t even know Antarctica was closed lol. The ride portion was always terrible, but the exhibit is great. Wild Artic I used to only ride for one reason, and that’s to laugh at unknowing first time riders reactions for how insanely rough it was. One part in particular. During howl o scream though, “beneath the ice” was the headlining maze and held in the wild artic que. i remember going before blackfish and it used to be packed quite a bit, so if people still want to stay away, fine with me. Lol I love this park. They also have the best Xmas event in Orlando.
I haven't been here in a while, but I feel that this park just doesn't stack up against Busch Gardens Tampa in terms of rides or animals. Also, the layout is quite frustrating. That said, it's visually great and I enjoy it.
I go to Sea World and BGT about equal amount, with the slight edge going to Sea World. While you are correct, the ride lineup doesn't stack up against BGT, it's really not as far behind as you think especially after the surf coaster opens in 2023. The shows, kids area, and all the interactions of animals like Sea lions and peguins are superior over BGT. But I love both of them and consider both as my homepark.
This Orlando park holds its in quality and attendance. It actually pulls in more people annually than Knott's Berry Farm. I mention this because it too, is a year round park. I agree that a dark ride or two would round it out. I suspect the reason not more flat rides is because it's a cheap cliche' of what you find @ the other 2-3-4 parks. Zamperla is very well represented. There are enough other unique things like penguins, sharks & hammy dolphins LOL! Nice selfie with penguin. Are the tours during park hrs. or before park opens? I did Magic of our steam trains tour WDW. It's before the park opens, but extends past by 30 mins. It's really cool going back to roundhouse. I think I got to blow the whistle.
Great video as always. Love the attention to detail. Not been to this park since 1999 but I’ll be taking my kids here one day. As I’m based in Europe, it feels like blackfish has shifted this parks focus from here. Personally I don’t know where I stand on animal captivity.
I would love to visit this park. Ride Mako and Ice Breaker. It would be a great addition to Canada's Wonderland. Also think the winged one would be good too . I certainly hope they serve Funnel cakes here. Great review.
I was there around the time you were. My complaints are the app wait times never matched the actual posted wait times at the entrance which was often wrong anyway. I also went at opening 9 am one day and nothing was open but Manta. Their website also had incorrect hours for the weekends, said it closed at 10pm when in fact it closed at 9pm. They really need better communication with their customers in my opinion as they are currently doing it all wrong.
I went in October of 2021 and I enjoyed it. Wish I would have ridden Manta but I marathoned Mako since we have nothing like it here in So Cal. Kraken was pretty awesome too. Ice breaker wasn't open when I went but man I wish West Coast Racers had that layout
Castles 'n' Coasters in Phoenix, AZ never has its rides get lines because people go for the golf course and even on the hot days, people cool off in the arcade. I would guess that on hot days, the worst line would be on the log ride, but not a long wait.
I love this park. It's a park where the line between "theming", landscaping, and exhibits is blurred so it's really hard to comment on the theming specifically but it's unquestionable that the park just looks fantastic.

If you just look at rides BGT has the edge. My main complaint is the food. It can be good but it's a bit of a mixed bag if you ask me. And I tend to get better value at Disney and Universal than at SWO and that shouldn't ever be said.
@@CanobieCoaster I wouldn't say I've had bad food at SWO. It's just that in my opinion it's overpriced for what it is, even by theme park standards. You can get a full meal at Disney or Universal for an adult in a fast food location for $15. At SWO it seems to always be $25 for a meal. And while their sit down options are good, they are somewhat limited compared to their Orlando counterparts. And even within the chain I'd take BGW ahead of SWO for quality and quantity any day. But maybe I just haven't found the best eateries in the park yet.
One time during the halloween event, the ops on mako were getting 30 second disbatches. They were sending trains as soon as the first train cleared the drop
Can't bring myself to go while they still keep killer whales and dolphins in captivity. I guess I have a low tolerance for that kind of thing, but seeing that would just bring down any joy I'd experience from their awesome coaster lineup.
Any idea if a SW San Diego Platinum Passe still offers the discounted quick queues for the orlando parks? If so is it just discounted for the passholder? Or everyone in they're party? Any idea :)
I am actually going to add on to this due to its loading procedure and the way that the boats work and the length of the ride Infinity actually has a lower capacity than mako, not only that but because of the unreliability the line gets extremely long the longest I've ever seen it was on the most popular day of summer. The line stretched all the way through the queue across the bridge to the right and all the way to Nautilus theater the wait was over 330 minutes.
@ 3:00 How do they know where you reside if you don’t tell them, and how is where you live their business? Are they the C.I.A.? At six flags, one’s home park is merely the park where one buys and activates the pass from, regardless of how far away one lives. But even that’s whack; they means this year Six Flags Great Adventure is my home park, and I live in Vancouver Canada!
Also, they straight up hide those passes based on your IP location. My dad who lives in florida couldn't even find the Platinum pass on the app or website for San Antonio
I can't get an answer from SeaWorld, lol. Does anyone know if I would be able to buy a San Antonio Platinum pass but activate it at BG Williamsburg? I would actually be using it mostly in Orlando but I am planning to go to Williamsburg before my first Orlando SeaWorld visit. I live in PA but the Sesame Park is nearly as long a ride as going to VA for me. And I have no desire to go there. I might just buy through BGW to be safe 🤷♀
At least in 2022, you could buy a pass for another park and first use it elsewhere. The catch is that some perks are specific to your home parks like skip the line passes and animal experiences.
@@CanobieCoaster Thank you for the reply. They were willing to tell me that the park I choose for the home park should be the one I will use most because of the perks. They never answered the first park activation question. I even sent a second message with only that question and crickets.
I've never had a bad experience with this park since I started coming here in 2010. Amazingly I like this park more than the ones at Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando more.

That's a bummer you had a bad experience.
Project Penguin has been confirmed to be a Surf Coaster with Friday's teaser, confirming it to be a modernised stand-up.
The trains remind me of the Togo Standup trains
I'm excited to see how it rides.

I just went to this park a few wills ago for the first time and I love this park. It’s Now my second favorite behind IOA. Mako is soooo good.
I agree the park is awesome.
Kraken is kinda rough in back rows. You were warned. Ice breaker was running one train last Friday btw but I mean it’s quite a thigh crusher.
I like Ice Breaker myself.
@@CanobieCoaster it really depends on your thighs because that ride can be painful but I think it’s poor train design by premier
I went in October of 2021 and I enjoyed it. Wish I would have ridden Manta but I marathoned Mako since we have nothing like it here in So Cal. Kraken was pretty awesome too.

Ice Breaker has more power than West Coast Racers, but the racing element of the latter is neat.

Sure, as long as you give credit.

Yes, but you have to buy it over the phone or in person (you can't online for some reason)
@@CanobieCoaster Thank you! Just making sure I heard you right in the vid 👍
I have had incredible days here, but also had days where 3+ major rides were closed and employees had no interest in anything.
Oh no!
On my most recent visit I had to wait 1 hr for Kraken because it was running 1 train
Ouch! I had much lighter crowds recently.
I went there in 2008 and 2010.
Nice!
It’s a shame that the Seaworld parks are on some peoples shit lists because I find this park absolutely beautiful and very fun
I love a lot that this park does.
I was a ride op on mako and infinity and I can barely see myself a few times in this video, it's wacky lol
Lol
I am actually going to add on to this due to its loading procedure and the way that the boats work and the length of the ride Infinity actually has a lower capacity than mako, not only that but because of the unreliability the line gets extremely long the longest I've ever seen it was on the most popular day of summer.

Do JTA and Kraken currently open with the park alongside Manta & Mako?
Yes they do.
Spectacular !
Thanks!

It's a shame that park closed
Speaking of Sesame Street, what is the best Elmo ride/attraction you’ve come across?
Probably Street Mission at PortAventura.
Funspots lines are like this o. Streoids
True Fun Spot has even less lines (minus the go karts)
There are always discounts if you sign up for their email list!

@ 3:00 How do they know where you reside if you don’t tell them, and how is where you live their business? Are they the C.I.A.? At six flags, one’s home park is merely the park where one buys and activates the pass from, regardless of how far away one lives. But even that’s whack; they means this year Six Flags Great Adventure is my home park, and I live in Vancouver Canada!
I'm not sure how they verify it. Maybe billing address?
They require a matching ID on your first visit to every park. My guess is they will do something if your ID doesn't match your listed address.
Also, they straight up hide those passes based on your IP location. My dad who lives in florida couldn't even find the Platinum pass on the app or website for San Antonio
But do you think it's the 4th best park OVERALL in Florida(15:28)?
Yes, I put Busch Tampa ahead of it too.
Hi! If I was to buy an annual pass, which pass includes other parks in the chain?
Platinum
I can't get an answer from SeaWorld, lol. Does anyone know if I would be able to buy a San Antonio Platinum pass but activate it at BG Williamsburg? I would actually be using it mostly in Orlando but I am planning to go to Williamsburg before my first Orlando SeaWorld visit. I live in PA but the Sesame Park is nearly as long a ride as going to VA for me. And I have no desire to go there. I might just buy through BGW to be safe 🤷♀
At least in 2022, you could buy a pass for another park and first use it elsewhere. The catch is that some perks are specific to your home parks like skip the line passes and animal experiences.
@@CanobieCoaster Thank you for the reply. They were willing to tell me that the park I choose for the home park should be the one I will use most because of the perks. They never answered the first park activation question. I even sent a second message with only that question and crickets.
How is this park and Busch Gardens Tampa with tripods
I never use a tripod, so I don't know.
@@CanobieCoaster ok
scree scra scra scree scra scree, SQUAWK
Birds?
Shhhhh, don’t tell people about the short lines!
I don't mind sharing tips.
Blackfish ruined Seaworld.
That documentary really hurt them.
This park sucks!!!!! Other than the shows its just a handful of rides and gift shops. Bout 26-30 years ago was PEAK seaworld.
I enjoy the park. Great coasters and atmosphere.
