SeaWorld Orlando

Orlando, Florida

Last edited by James Rao
Location: SeaWorld is located north of Walt Disney World and south of Orlando, where I-4 meets the Bee Line Expressway. You can get driving directions by clicking the SeaWorld Orlando link on Theme Park Insider's Google map of U.S. theme parks.

History: SeaWorld's third park opened in 1973. (The second, SeaWorld Ohio, is now closed.) A new roller coaster, Manta, is now open.

Hours: http://www.seaworld.com. SeaWorld is open year 'round.

Tickets: Buy online. Always try to buy your tickets in advance, to save time when you get to the park.

Strategy: Try Theme Park Insider's Four-Hour Tour for SeaWorld Orlando, however make Manta the first stop on the tour. TPI's official SeaWorld Orlando Four-Hour Tour has not yet been updated to include this headliner attraction.
