This is a very detailed look at everything you will need to know as a person of size -- big and/or tall, someone using a mobility device such as a scooter/ECV, walker, cane, or wheelchair, parent with a child in a stroller, or as a person with sensory concerns such as Autism and epilepsy. This video shows first hand footage of the ride and even shows how wet you will get on it -- so there's something for everyone in this video. I hope you find it useful in making the best decisions for your family at SeaWorld.
SeaWorld invited me visit the park in February 2020 so I could review the rides for plus size / fat folks and share information with visitors who have accessibility, mobility and sensory concerns.
Thank you to SeaWorld for providing the tickets free of charge -- if you use this link to shop for your tickets online you will find prices cheaper than when you purchase in person - also a small commission will come to the Pammie Plus Parks channel to help make more videos like this one.

Thank you also to the Patreon supporters who paid for fuel for the drive to/from the park, parking, locker rental, food and drink for this trip -- making it possible for me to spend a full day vlogging all the best things SeaWorld has to offer.

Yay a SeaWorld video! My husband and I adore your content. As plus size individuals (and my husband being very tall) these videos are a godsend. We have held off going to SeaWorld because there wasn't a Pammie review of the rides. Your information is so in depth and puts our minds at ease about fitting on the rides. Can't wait for the next one!
I'm so happy you find the videos interesting and useful. I'm looking forward to sharing more SeaWorld and Busch Gardens videos with you in the weeks to come.
I know I'm on the spectrum but don't know anything about it so glad you can tell us about these things you are a great big help to us all
I hope the information helps a lot of people. It was refreshing to see that each ride has sensory information to help anyone who might need the information. It really makes you feel more comfortable trying a new ride.
I’m on the Spectrum, too. I really wish Disney would have those kinds of signs. Had I known, I never would’ve ridden Dinosaur back in 2005. I rode it once and will never do it again. It’s so loud I couldn’t hear myself scream. 😱😢
Pammie, it is so good to see you again! What a fun video. We appreciate you so so much and all the great information you provide. COVID has put a damper on traveling but hope hope hope next year. God Bless and you Stay Well!🤗🙏🦋
Thank you! I'm hoping we can all get back to traveling and the parks again soon.
Happy to see you reviewing Sea World. I’ve only been to the one in San Diego and your review here makes me want to go. I really like what your doing with your vlogs.
Thank you, Leslie. I really enjoyed my day at SeaWorld. It was great to visit again after more than 2 decades. I saw they made many improvements to safeguard the safety and wellbeing of the animals and the park is an endorsed Autism Center -- they go out of their way to ensure people of many kinds of abilities can enjoy as much as possible during their visit.
I rode that the other day. It had been years since the last time. I find the music the most entertaining, makes you feel silly, lol. On that second drop after the big one I hit my leg on the restraints, so it was a little excessively bumping with there being a small party on the boat. Great video. Such great information.
Thank you so much! I try to pick up all the details you don't see in other videos. It's nice to see people having fun on rides but actually knowing what to expect for people of all sizes and abilities helps you decide if a ride will work for you and your travel companions. It's nice to feel prepared. I hope I am able to help with that.
It's great to see sensory listings posted for rides, and thank you for highlighting them. Virtual high fives to all the sensory and ASD families out there!
SeaWorld is a certified Autism Center. I plan to do a video about eventually. They have many special services and accommodations for autistics and their families. It's really wonderful.
I am not a SeaWorld supporter, but I am a Pammie fan! and Glad the video is there for those that need it!
I really appreciate you watching, Amanda! Thank you for supporting the channel.
Pammie! I am new to your channel and an avid theme park goers myself . I just adore you and your positive spirit . It’s 9 pm and I’ve been watching your videos since 7 am while working from home . These are so helpful for rides I haven’t been on yet !
Oh my goodness! That's amazing! Thank you so much for watching. I am very happy you find the videos helpful.
Wish you had more ride walk throughs of sea world in Orlando.
HOLA PAMMIE!!!! SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I LOVED💙 IT.. BEEN TO SEAWORLD AND NEVER RODE THIS RIDE. IT IS GREAT TO SEE IT FROM INSIDE! SO HAPPY YOU ENJOYED IT. SENDING LOVE AND BLESSINGS TO YOU AND MARK! AND THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎 🙏 ❤ MUCH LOVE FROM HERE FLORIDA!🍊🌞🌞🌞🌞
Thank you so much!!
It look me a few seconds to realize this was filmed before the shutdown, lol. The ride looks fun though, I never been to SeaWorld, so I will certainly try this ride out once I feel safe to go out there.
It is a really fun ride. You get pretty darn wet but it's so much fun that it's worth it, especially if you bring an ATM card with you to use the dryers after the ride. Totally worth the $5!
@@PammiePlusParks that's awesome. It looks like a great ride to cool off in the summer.
If you're in a wheelchair or ecv you would enter through the exit ,that way you have extra time and you have handrail to help getting in and out. I did that last time I went about 5 years ago
Great to know! Thanks for the info. 💖
Thank you so much for this important fact!
I was just wondering about this, because if ecvs and wheelchairs are allowed in the line, there has to be a way for them to get out too!
Aw, Pammie that looks like so much fun!!! One does wonder how long the Corona will mess with everyone’s fun. 😥. Praying we as a country finds a way out of this mess!!! I sure don’t want to be going to an amusement park in 90 degree weather wearing a mask.
It was such a lovely day -- that was back in February. I do take walks in my mask outdoors here in Florida and it is really tough to be comfortable -- but I make it work.
Pammie you're a ton of fun, this information is so neccessary! THANKS!
You are so welcome!
Lovely to see a video from you! 😀
Hope you enjoyed it!
Aww I wish we could come back. My whole family was there(Orlando not Sea World) about two weeks before everything shut down. Maybe next year we'll get to go back and do Sea World this time.
I hope you get to come back soon too, Shasta. I have really missed my time away from the parks. I want very badly to visit but am going to wait a bit longer. I may try to go to a park in Augus.
Love your channel!! Not only is your content informative and helpful, but I just love your energy!!
Thank you, breanna....that is so lovely to hear.
Hi Pammie, I love your videos and find them very helpful. I also enjoy your positive energy when making your videos, super cute!
Do you have anymore videos on the Seaworld rides?
We LOVED this information.
Felt like we were there.
We wanna try this ride out so much!
So glad you enjoyed it! If you want a bit of extra leg room or want to feel less squished -- you can ask to be seated individually in your own rows. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did -- and don't forget to bring your ATM card so you can use those dryers, lol.
I’m so glad Pammie is back!
Happy to be back.😀
I didn't know you were autistic. I'm autistic, too!. I enjoy your videos. I'm on a keto diet and I'm trying to lose weight so I can fit on Flight of Passage at Animal Kingdom.
I am amazed at how many people on the spectrum watch my videos. So glad you found the channel. Thank you for watching.
I have been waiting for the SeaWorld videos since you announced your partnership. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you for watching, Erin. I have a few more SeaWorld videos to edit and publish along with Busch Gardens, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. I am looking forward to posting them all in the coming weeks and hope we are all able to get back to the parks soon.
So helpful thank you Pammie ❤
Hey Pammie!! Good to see a video from you this morning! 💖😃 Thanks for the review. Unfortunately, I don’t think I would be able to ride it. My knees, thighs, and calves are much larger than yours. That U-bar probably wouldn’t fit both of my legs. But I’m usually not one for wet rides anyway. I don’t mind my hair and top getting wet, but I cannot stand walking around the park with wet pants and shoes. 👎🏻
By the way, where did you get that jacket? It is so cute!!
Also, will you be doing a live anytime soon? 🙂
I'm glad the video has helped you make a decision about the ride, sorry it won't work for you though.
The jacket is from Dia & Co and is mo longer available.
Pammie Plus Parks Ahh, I see. Thanks anyway! I wanted to sign up for Dia & Co. from watching your videos. But I wasn’t sure if their bottoms would fit me. I’m 5x on bottom and 2x/3x on top. However, I need things to fit my shoulders as well as my hips. 🤦🏼♀️
Would it be possible to make a pinned comment mentioning when this was filmed? It’s buried in the description and I was definitely confused there for a moment 💖
Thanks for the suggestion. I did make a title card but forgot to place it in the video when editing.
I am concerned that a pinned comment would dissuade people from watching even though the information is still relevant. If folks watch for a minute, it becomes clear the video was pre covid...and they will get some content that will hopefully prove very helpful.
thanks for the great videos
Thanks for watching!
Do you have any other vids or insight about the other seaworld rides?
Was this the only one they had that was plus friendly?
I cannot do any of the major/newer coasters in this park but there are tester seats near the entrance to all of the latest/fastest/most thrilling coasters. I urge you to try the test seats to check for fit and comfort.
There isn't anymore outside the Manta. Is there a way to do a video on that?
Heyyy stranger!!! I haven't been to sea world since February as well. Not sure when ill go back. Ive always love "journey to Atlantis" growing up, but the storyline makes no sense lol!!
-Harm 🌟
Yeah, it's not fully explained at all but still a fun ride.
@@PammiePlusParks oh yeah its great on a hot day. Shocked you went on when it was cold out
Thank you this was VERY helpful!!!
You are so welcome!
Oh my gosh Pammie! I didn't know you were on the spectrum! My 19 yo son is high functioning and your videos are very helpful! Will you be going to san Antonio when everything opens up?
It's something I have kept quiet about because I'm an adult who is very experienced with navigating the world as a HFA -- I thought maybe my voice didn't really count, especially for parents looking for information for children. But -- as it turns out people seem to find my perspective helpful. I am really glad about that. It means a lot to think I am helping others make the most of their travels and I hope having people see a HFA in action makes them see autistics in a different light too.
@@PammiePlusParks of course your voice counts! You are able to articulate experiences much better. Someone like my son can see what he's in for with rides and not be so frightened. You help spread joy! ❤
Pammie Plus Parks Your voice absolutely counts!! And since Disney parks do not have those signs like sea world does, you help us to know what to expect. 💖 I’m usually not afraid to try something new, but many times afterwards I have regretted it.
I still have nightmares about the final drop on Atlantis lol
I loved it but it was a huge splash and I got pretty wet!
there is a special entrance/exit for mobility impaired - no stairs
Thank you for sharing this important information. I have learned that people with mobility concerns board and exit from the ride exit (where there are hand rails to help make boarding and exiting easier) and that there is a way to bypass all stairs
I am wondering if this is Orlando or San Diego SeaWorld? Do you know if the rides are the same at both locations? I'm interested in San Diego. I appreciate your honesty. Thank you for helping me.
You are sooo cute!!
Thanks, that is kind of you to say.
Your hair is beautiful
Aw, thank you, Jill!
It sounds like fun
It was a fun ride.
50's? You look fantastic!
hey do you have a video on seaworld of the ecv rentals and what to do to rent them?
I have filmed a video for this that needs to be edited and uploaded.
I am wondering if the Disney spirit jersey 2x would fit a 3x since they are oversized
Spirit Jersey's go up to a unisex XXL. I normally wear a 4x or 5x in women's or a men's 3x or 4x and I am able to get the XXL Spirit Jersey on my body. The sleeves are massively long and baggy but it is snug in the chest and hips. It fits but it does not have the loose all over fit that it is supposed to have and does not look good. I suspect that if it did come in my size and was baggy all over it would look really sloppy on my figure. I am not personally a fan of the shirts on my body. Not a fan of the fit.
Thank you for this, exactly what I needed. Wish they had a 3x
Is this a seatbelt or bar lowering ride ?
Does anyone know if infinity falls is fat friendly
I have not tried it yet but if the seating is similar to Kali River Rapids at Animal Kingdom and the seat belts are long enough -- it should work. I believe the seats are in pairs -- when I ride, I plan to ask to sit alone in the two seats for premium comfort.
Iv missed you
Thank you for watching.
Pammie are you married? Or with a SO? If so, do they ever accompany you to the parks or do you do solo only?
She is married! If you go back through her videos (especially some of her live streams), you'll see him. :) I believe he has epilepsy (it's been awhile, but I think that's right), so he can't do rides with lots of light effects.
There are times when I go alone and there are times when I am with family and friends. Not all my loved ones want to be seen in videos so you don't always see who I am with. If you are wondering if it is safe to go to the parks alone as a female -- yes it is. If you want to know if it feels strange to go solo -- it might on the first day of your trip but then you realize there are tons of other solo people in the parks every day -- Annual Passholders, off duty Cast Members, business people on conference trips spending downtime in the parks, etc.
Did the bar come down on your belly?
Yes, the bar comes down as far as your belly no matter what size you are. If you are super thin, it might down to the tops of your thighs but for most average sized or larger people, the bar will come down to your belly.
@@PammiePlusParks Thanks, this helps!
Can I come hang out with you please
Aww, that's sweet! I have been told that when I have my camera - which is always -- I am not fun to hang out with at the parks because I never stop working. LOL! I love the work, it's fun for me -- but my friends do not agree.
@@PammiePlusParks work can be fun
