    Great Place to visit! It has a roller coaster ride that is as long as a city block.

    We were able to pet the dolphins and sting rays.

    Kites, stunts and dance..
    by mafootje, 4 more photos
    We arrived early so we first went for the rides to be ahead of the crowds. We started out with Kraken followed by Journey to Atlantis. After that we decided to watch some of many shows you can see here. A nice and funny one is the show Clyde and Seamore be sure to be early not just because to be sure to be able to see the show. A mime player is making fun of people walking in the stadium which will surely make you laugh.

    Seaworld is also an educational park which learns you and your children more about nature and the animals that make part of that. For instance you can see the Manatees that life in Florida and the reason why in areas with Manatees you have to be carefull when you are on a boat or fishing here. Fishing lines and motors of boats can hurt these animals which almost have no fear for human. In Seaworld lifes one Manatee of which the tail shows the damage a boat can do to these animals.

    Some of the main attractions are the ones where you can feed the animals, you can even feed the dolphins or maybe a little less spectacular the Stingrays. When you have had it for a while with the exhibitions you can go to the lake because next to the Shamu stadium you can find the show Fusion. In this showyou'll find a combination of dance, stunts on water and kiting to the max. While going over the water on high speed they also perform a simultaneous show with kites.

    In the afternoon the clouds had turned dark and threatning. Since we had lunch opposite to Wild Artic we thought it could be a good idea to ride it. That was a smart decision because it really started raining and thundering. Our ride in the simulator stopped before it had ended due to a technical malfunction. For this reason we where invited to ride again and since it was still raining outside we did exactly that. After the second ride the rain had stopped and wouldn't return that day.

    Ofcourse a day in Seaworld isn't complete without a visit to a show with Shamu and the Dolphins in the Blue Horizons show.

    Sea World is one of the country's largest marine parks and features whales, dolphins, sea lions, seals and otters. The most popular shows are the ones starring the killer whales.

    Swimming with dolphins at Discovery Cove
    It's an absolutely magical experience to interact with such beautiful creatures you normally only get to see on TV! Although a word of advice, you go out with about 6 or 7 other people and each take turns in having your own individual interaction. If you go on your swim with a friend, partner etc you share your interaction with them. So to spend more time with the dolphin do the swim by yourself. Your friends and relatives can then take photos and vice versa and save money on buying the expensive photos taken of you (Although they are brill and I bought nearly all of mine!!)

    Shamu? Yes, this is where Shamu, the killer whale, can be found. Actually, there are three SeaWorlds, so there must be three Shamus, right? ;) Anyway, Shamu will do tricks like the one where he splashes some of the audience. There are tons of shows that show off the sea life, plus exhibits where you can pet sting rays or gawk at sharks. There are even some rides, I believe. Anyway, it's another neat tourist-filled park! :)

    The last theme park we visited was SeaWorld. Of course the most famous attraction there is the show with orca (I don't like the name 'killer whale') Shamu. Obviously we went to see that! And lucky thing it was December, so it wasn't too busy.

    Enjoyment of this attraction depends alot on your views regarding performing Whales and Dolphins. There is no doubt that these creatures belong in the sea. There is also no doubt that very few people whould get to see a killer whale anywhere other than Sea World. Sea World Florida also features a couple of thrill rides including the new journey to Atlantis, a sort of giant log flume. I really enjoyed the Manetee center where injured manatees are rehabilitated. It is a sad fact that the future of this species depends very much on places like Sea World
