SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment^™educates guests through exciting experiences and inspires them to protect animals and the world around them. The company is one of the world’s foremost zoological organizations and a global leader in animal welfare, training, husbandry and veterinary care. The SeaWorld^® rescue team has helped more than 28,000 animals in need over the last 50 years. They rescue and rehabilitate marine and terrestrial animals that are ill, injured, orphaned or abandoned, with the goal of returning them to the wild.

There are also the epic rides. New since last summer, SeaWorld Orlando’s Mako™—named after one of the ocean’s fastest shark species—is a hypercoaster that sits in the middle of the park’s seven-acre shark realm, where guests can learn all about (and watch!) these fascinating creatures. Explore Shark Encounter^® through one of the world’s largest acrylic underwater viewing tunnels, or dine face-to-face with the denizens of the deep at Sharks Underwater Grill^® with its stunning underwater views. Mako™ itself stands at 60 metres tall, 1,450 metres long and reaches speeds of more than 115 km/h, making it the longest, tallest and fastest roller coaster in Orlando. 

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay has added a brand new family ride in the Egypt area of the park. Cobra’s Curse is a spin coaster—the only one of its kind in the world. With a 30,000-pound snake king icon that greets you before you take on the more than 20-metre vertical lift, the ride spins forward, backward, then freely, and is sure to leave an impression.
