Located in the heart of Orlando, SeaWorld is famous for its adrenaline-pumping rides like Mako, the hypercoaster that mirrors the speed and grace of a shark slicing through the waves, and Kraken, a floorless coaster packed with hair-raising inversions.

Families can enjoy adventures like Ice Breaker, with its exhilarating airtime and reverse launches, or plunge down the record-breaking Infinity Falls, home to the world’s tallest river rapid drop. More recently, SeaWorld introduced Penguin Trek, an innovative launched coaster in the Sea of Ice area, while 2022 saw the debut of Pipeline: The Surf Coaster at Sea of Power.

In addition to these world-class rides, SeaWorld Orlando offers an impressive array of animal encounters and family-friendly activities. Interactive exhibits like Dolphin Cove and *Stingray Lagoon* allow guests to connect with marine life, while spectacular shows such as the Orca Encounter and Dolphin Adventures provide educational entertainment. Seasonal celebrations, including Electric Ocean and Christmas Celebration, transform the park into a hub of festivity, making it a must-visit year-round.

Families with young children now have even more reason to visit. The park recently announced its Preschool Card for 2025, granting free admission to children aged 3 to 5 at SeaWorld Orlando, Busch Gardens, and Aquatica. To take advantage of this deal, families must register online and make their first visit before the end of February. Once activated, the pass remains valid through December 31, 2025, ensuring endless opportunities for family fun.

SeaWorld Orlando is set to welcome a fan-favorite fast-food chain inside its gates. According to Click Orlando, “Officials at SeaWorld Orlando confirmed on Wednesday that a Chick-fil-A will soon be opening inside the park.” While an official opening date has not been announced, a job listing for the location is now live. Employees of the park’s Chick-fil-A will enjoy perks like free park admission and discounted tickets for friends and family.

“At SeaWorld, we’re passionate about caring for animals. In fact, we’ve already rescued over 40,000 animals (and counting!). And we can save you from being stuck in just another job,” reads the job listing. “Join us and help bring joy, excitement, and lasting memories to people from around the world.”

SeaWorld representatives confirmed the addition, telling News 6 (via Click Orlando), “We look forward to sharing additional details with you once a date is confirmed.”

When he’s not thinking about the Magic Kingdom, Thomas is usually reading a book, becoming desperately obsessed with fictional characters, or baking something delicious (his favorite is chocolate cake -- to bake and to eat). He's a dreamer and grew up on Mulan saving the world, Jim Hawkins soaring through the stars, and Padmé Amidala fighting a Nexu. At the Parks, he loves to ride Everest, stroll down Main Street with an overstuffed pin lanyard around his neck, and eat as many Mickey-shaped ice creams as possible. His favorite character is Han Solo (yes, he did shoot first), and his favorite TV show is Buffy the Vampire Slayer except when it's One Tree Hill. He loves sandy beach walks, forest hikes, and foodie days out in the Big City. Thomas lives in England, UK, with his fiancée, baby, and their dog, a Border Collie called Luna.
