Unofficial news and updates for Orlando's marine theme park

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Infinity Falls is now closed for its annual maintenance period. It is expected to reopen in December.

This is MUCH needed at all of the United Parks properties!

@themeparkwire @SWOUpdates @seaworldorlando At the town hall for BGW it was reported an updated and improved app was coming… hopefully this also means better system for the kiosks.

Manta was running 2 trains on 2 stations today 🌊

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

@KevinSmith93690 Same here. It's more the poor guest service of not having the courtesy to update the show times.

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Unfortunately Pipeline and Ice Breaker are both on 1 train for the opening weekend of Christmas Celebration.

The Sea of Trees is also not ready, however show times were still posted for today on the app and website meaning that crowds of guests were stood around confused.

Trua's V-Spin

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Park hours have been modified on quieter weekdays to a 10:00AM opening time. This change is showing on the calendar through the end of 2026

Miracles was… interesting.

Overall still good. There’s new dancers added to Noel/finale & new trees that aren’t synced to the show. The waterfalls are back?!?! I could not believe it. And the pyro in Noel returned.

The “baby Shamu” line was changed to “baby Kalina”

[Florida Thrills @floridathrills]

Current progress on the updated animal care facility… repurposing the old Clydesdale hamlets. #seaworld #seaworldorlando @seaworld

[Florida Thrills @floridathrills]

It appears @seaworldorlando is installing new turnstiles similar to the ones at Disneyland. #seaworldorlando

More stadium changes ahead of tonight's return of Miracles

@jake_coasters Not my photo but it’s gotten some more changes for Miracles!

The Shamu Stadium at SeaWorld Orlando has gotten some new changes? (Not my photo)

[ThrillGeek.com @thrillgeek]

SeaWorld Orlando recently announced the passing of Kaboodle, a 23-year-old walrus and the oldest female walrus in a U.S. facility. She died during a medical procedure related to a chronic gastrointestinal condition. Born in 2003, she was recognized for her long, crossed tusks and served as a successful surrogate mother to rescued calves, including Uki.

As a reminder these are guesses at best, and several people who have seen the real numbers have told me over the years this report can be drastically off.

[SeaWorld @SeaWorld]

Meet Annautaq! This orphaned walrus calf made the journey to SeaWorld Orlando after receiving exceptional care at the Alaska SeaLife Center. Thanks to the teamwork of many, including our friends at MCO, Annautaq is settling into his new home and receiving lots of love!

Construction walls now block access to the former Animal Ambassador building next to Infinity Falls

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Reminder: on Howl-O-Scream days, many attractions close early at 5pm as the park transitions to the event

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

As reported elsewhere, the logo sign in Port of Entry has been removed. Hopefully a new photo opportunity will be added.

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Foliage has been removed and cleaned up behind the logo sign in Port of Entry, revealing previously blocked views of Manta's final turn. Fall leaves have also been added as decor.

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Mako remains closed today

[SWO Updates @SWOUpdates]

Refurbishment at the park entrance is causing chaos. Staff are also holding up entire lines for parties that are unable to locate tickets on their phones which is unfortunate.
