Well yesterday we visited our 3rd Park in Orlando, SeaWorld. We got up early and bought a ticket from the hotel, $77 which isn't too bad really (£45 in real money)! We decided to drive instead of shuttle bus becuase we had to take all our stuff with us as it was our last night in the hotel. We arrived just before opening and got a pretty good space right next to the entrance. With no real queue we went straight in and sraight on the best ride, The Manta! It was awesome, u fly around a roller coaster in a horizontal position pretty much skimming over the water. The wait said 90 minutes but it was more like 20 becuase it was so early. We then headed over to one of the stadiums to watch a killer whale show. The timing was perfect as the stand place was just opening. We had to endure a 45 minute wait in the blazing sun with no sun cream (as you do in 36 oC heat) but we got perfect seats right near the front so it was worth it. It was a really impressive show with plenty of splashing. The rest of the place was as you would expect from a SeaWorld I guess, plenty of penguins, sharks, aligators etc and an arctic helicopter simulator which was actually pretty cool (no pun intended)..
Becuase we had timed everything so well for a change we were all done by about 1pm, but it would have been rude not to ride The Manta again...! It was busiest time of the day but we still didn't have to wait long, this is why we loved SeaWorld so much! At Universal and Disney its the norm to queue for up to 2.5 hours..
Anyway, we hit the road by about 2pm and headed off to Tampa for the Baseball....
