SeaWorld Orlando announced this week they will be opening a new water thrill ride called Infinity Falls in Summer 2018.
Designers were inspired by the rainforests of South America and have created a lush jungle environment with Class iV rapids running through it.
Florida residents wanting to visit Orlando’s Discovery Cove will get discounted rates this fall, plus the added benefit of unlimited admission to SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Waterpark through January 31, 2017.
To celebrate its own “Sweet 16” birthday, Discovery Cove has launched a national sweepstakes promotion that will award one winner and 15 of their friends a trip to Orlando to visit the park.
The prize includes roundtrip airfare, two nights’ hotel accommodations, transportation and a VIP guest package.

When it opens to the public today at SeaWorld Orlando, Mako, a 200-foot-tall coaster reaching speeds up to 73mph, will become the tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster among Orlando’s theme parks.
Mako is one of the world’s few true hypercoasters, a group of roller coasters known for high speeds and steep drops and hills that create a feeling of weightlessness or “air time.” As the sleek coaster cars crest each hill, riders — secured only at their laps — float out of their seats, nearly weightless.
In the wake of recent world events, new security measures have been put into place at the three Orlando theme parks.
Walt Disney World has enacted the strictest changes. In addition to metal detectors at the entrance gates to all four parks, Disney will also stop selling any items that resemble guns, and require guests bringing toy guns to the parks to check them at guest services.
We’re getting closer to the opening date of Mako, the newest coaster to thrill guests at SeaWorld Orlando, and the theme park has revealed the official logo:
When it opens in 2016, Mako will be the tallest, longest, and fastest coaster in Orlando. It is a 200-foot-tall hypercoaster that will reach 73 mph as it traverses 4,760 feet of steel track (almost a mile long).
Monday night, it was revealed that “Twister: Ride It Out” will be closing at Universal Orlando on November 2 to make room for a new attraction, “Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon.”
“Twister: Ride It Out” opened May 4, 1998, and was themed after the popular 1986 disaster movie, Twister.
In a synergetic move, NBC late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon will soon be getting his own attraction at Universal Orlando.
“Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon” is the name of the attraction that will give guests a full “Tonight Show” experience in the famous Studio 6B…until Fallon challenges the audience to the ultimate race through New York City.
