It’s a top five roller coaster in the entire state of Florida. For coaster fans this is definitely the one to go to.

But I think it was also a little bit nicer and prettier a park than San Antonio (sorry Texas). Last year I talked about how San Diego still has very much a zoo/animal park character, and is very pretty. This definitely felt like the most coaster heavy of them, not surprisingly. The closest other parks I’ve been to in combining animals and thrills are Busch Gardens Tampa, Animal Kingdom, and the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.Įric: Unlike Nick, I’ve been to all three pretty recently. Needless to say, SeaWorld Orlando has much more to offer. Nick: The only other SeaWorld I have been to is SeaWorld Ohio, more than twenty years ago (as well as Six Flags Worlds of Adventure). Q: How does SeaWorld Orlando compare to the other SeaWorld parks (or animal based-parks in general)? Orlando felt a little bit bigger with some stuff off the side, but similar vibe. Big lake in the middle surrounded by mostly coasters. I think the other thing that stood out was how similar it felt in terms of layout to SeaWorld San Antonio, which I went to for the first time last year. Mostly theming we rushed past on our way to Pipeline, but as we walked more slowly it stood out. Definitely should be in the running for one of those “Most Beautiful Theme Park” awards.Įric: Like Nick, my first impression was probably that it looked really nice, with some surprisingly good theming. There was much more theming than I thought there would be too. The landscaping and water features found throughout are expertly done. Nick: My first impression of SeaWorld Orlando was how beautiful the park is. Q: What was your first impression of SeaWorld Orlando? Join us as we embark on a thrilling journey into an aquatic wonderland! We ask them all about their experience including first impressions, the best coaster at SeaWorld, thoughts on Pipeline, what the best animal exhibit is, and who is this park intended for. Two Coaster101 writers recently visited SeaWorld Orlando for the first time.
