Thrills, splashy fun and pure relaxation

So much variety and adventure at Florida’s SeaWorld Parks

-

GUARANTEED sunshine, super-friendly locals and theme parks packed full of fun adventures — there are lots of good reasons to choose a holiday in Florida!

You’ll find there’s something for everyone — with some of the most spectacula­r variety found at the four unique SeaWorld Parks.

Meet amazing marine creatures and jump into their world on sensationa­l rides, attraction­s and shows at SeaWorld.

At Busch Gardens, you’ll come within a whisker of many of the world’s rarest animals and then trek, plunge, chase and spin on Florida’s wildest rides.

Discovery Cove is the only place in Orlando where you can swim with a dolphin.

And Aquatica waterpark is a splashy, South Sea-inspired paradise where you can unwind by lapping waves, make speedy splashdown­s on super-sized slides and challenge friends to watery races.

With plenty of fun play areas for those still learning to walk, there’s a fantastic variety of great family adventures just waiting to begin!

THRILLSEEK­ERS

AT SeaWorld Parks, thrill enthusiast­s will be able to fly, gasp and giggle on some of the tallest, fastest and longest rollercoas­ters on the planet.

Inspired by the world’s speediest shark, the new Mako ‘hypercoast­er’ (the name for those more than 200ft high) lets you stalk prey through a shipwreck at up to 73mph, with deep dives and sudden, weightless soarings.

Infinity Falls, also new at SeaWorld, is a raft journey past drenching waterfalls, where roaring rapids send you plummeting over a huge drop into churning white water. Hold tight!

Kraken Unleashed is Orlando’s only floorless coaster — a monster thrill ride themed on a massive, mythologic­al underwater beast.

Plus, you can soar through the air on graceful Manta, or dive face-down like a stalking falcon on Falcon’s Fury. And that’s just for starters!

SILLY, SPILLY PLAY

LITTLE ones are in their element in the SeaWorld Parks, at fantastic, fun play areas such as Kata’s Kookaburra Cove, which comes with beginners’ body slides, water spouts and silly spilly rides where kids can laugh it up all day long — and so can you!

ANIMAL ADVENTURE

SPEND time with your favourite creatures, dining in the company of sharks or sprinting as fast as a cheetah.

At Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin, you and your little ones can waddle, slide and swim with Puck the penguin amid vivid light displays.

At the end of the ride you’re spun around to face a real colony of 250 penguins — and there’s much more!

Take a TurtleTrek, go on safari through an African village at Edge of Africa, visit animal care areas, and get up close to playful orangutans and majestic tigers at Jungala, where waterfalls and gravity-defying rides add to the adventure.

WATERY WOW FACTOR

PREFER to be in the water? The Grand Reef, at Discovery Cove, could see you snorkellin­g with thousands of tropical fish over colourful coral.

Ihu’s Breakaway Falls, at Aquatica, is Orlando’s newest and steepest drop tower, while the new Ray Rush is a family raft slide where you’ll swirl through spheres and glide back and forth on a ray’s wings.

And you’ll get absolutely soaked reliving a treacherou­s white-water journey along Africa’s mighty Congo River in Congo River Rapids at Busch Gardens — a ride with wow factor and a lot of water.

RELAX BY THE WAVES

THERE’S pure relaxation for those who want to take time out during their holiday. Head over to Serenity Bay at Discovery Cove — a tropical swimming area that’s great for snorkellin­g.

Aquatica features giant, side-by-side wave pools. On one side the waves are always rolling, while on the other the surf can be high or slow and easy.

Or take a load off your feet and hop on a lazy river ride by raft down Loggerhead Lane through an underwater world coloured by exotic tropical fish. Thrills, relaxation — it’s all there!
