SeaWorld Orlando Must-Do Rides & Attractions: A Local's Guide to Orlando's Marine Adventure Park
15
items SeaWorld Orlando is way more than shows - it's quietly home to the best coaster lineup in Florida. From Mako's monster airtime to Pipeline's standing surf coaster, here's everything this Central Florida local thinks you can't skip. Perfect for planni...
Map
Locals sleep on SeaWorld and it blows my mind - the coaster lineup here beats anything at Disney. Grab an annual pass deal and it pays for itself in two visits.
SeaWorld Orlando
200 feet tall, 73 mph, and airtime for days - Mako is the best coaster in Orlando, full stop. Ride it at night when the crowds thin out and it feels twice as fast.
Mako
You ride this one face-down like you're actually flying, and the pretzel loop is wild. Bonus: the queue winds past a stunning ray aquarium, so even the wait is good.
Manta
Old school floorless coaster with seven inversions and nothing but air under your feet. It's been here since 2000 and it still holds up against the new stuff.
Kraken
The world's first surf coaster - you ride standing up and the seat actually pushes you skyward on the hills. It feels nothing like any other coaster in Orlando.
Pipeline: The Surf Coaster
Four launches, backwards and forwards, with a 93-degree drop that's steeper than vertical. Great starter coaster before working up to Mako.
Ice Breaker
SeaWorld's newest family launch coaster drops you off inside the real penguin habitat at the end. My kid asks to re-ride this one every single visit.
Penguin Trek
Half dark ride, half water coaster, with a 60-foot splashdown finale that will soak you. Ride it midday in summer when you actually want to get drenched.
Journey to Atlantis
River rapids ride with a vertical lift and the tallest rapids drop in the world - you WILL leave soaked head to toe. Bring a poncho or embrace it.
Infinity Falls
The killer whale presentation is still the thing nobody else in Orlando has. Sit in the splash zone with the kids or safely up top with your phone dry - your call.
Orca Encounter
A full Sesame Street neighborhood with six kid-sized rides and a daily character parade. This is what saves the day when your little ones are too small for the coasters.
Sesame Street Land
400-foot rotating observation tower with the best free view in Orlando - you can see Disney's castles on a clear day. Usually a walk-on, perfect mid-afternoon break.
SeaWorld Sky Tower
Walk through one of the longest underwater shark tunnels in the world with sand tigers gliding right over your head. Free with admission and a great AC break in summer.
Shark Encounter
Florida sun plus coaster lines is no joke - this little misting fan has saved us more times than I can count. Toss it in the park bag and thank me in July.
O2COOL Deluxe Handheld Misting Fan Purple
Between Infinity Falls and Atlantis you will get soaked, and park ponchos cost a fortune. Keep a couple of these reusable ones in your bag and stay dry for the coasters.
