as they travel in open-sided seats, riding on a pedestal above
the track at speeds of 65 mph to heights of more than 140
feet.

-- part water ride, part roller coaster -- thrill ride that
plunges guests into the middle of a clash for the lost city
of Atlantis. Riders encounter spine-tingling thrills, including
two of the steepest, wettest and fastest drops to be found
at any theme park in the world.

sea lions, otters and walrus in a swashbuckling adventure

on the high seas.
“Pets Ahoy!” is a comical show featuring the talents of a
menagerie of dogs, cats, birds, rats, skunks, pot-belly pigs,
and other animals performing a series of uproarious and amazing
skits. Most impressive is the fact that nearly all of the
fabulous four-legged celebs were rescued from animal shelters
before they found their fame at SeaWorld.
“A'Lure…The Call of the Ocean” tells the spectacular tale
of the Sea Sirens, whose hypnotic calls have lured fisherman
into their underwater lairs for centuries. It's a mariner’s

pressure of more than 500 tons of water.

calves.

adelie, macaroni, chinstrap and rockhopper -- the animal habitat
is kept at a chilly 30 degrees and the water an icy 45 degrees.
Six thousand pounds of snow fall daily inside the naturalistic
habitat, which is reminiscent of the Antarctic’s rocky cliffs
and frigid waters. Guests ride a 120-foot-long moving walkway
through the frozen wonderland to watch the playful birds cavort
both above, and under the water.
