Sea World
SeaWorld Orlando is a theme park near Orlando, Florida. It is owned and operated by Busch Entertainment Corporation, a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch, and is the subsidiary's most visited park. When combined with its neighbor Discovery Cove and the Aquatica water park, it forms a larger entertainment complex devoted to Earth's oceans and the array of life that inhabits them.
In 2007, SeaWorld Orlando hosted approximately 5.8 million guests, ranking it the seventh-most visited amusement park in the United States and #12 in the world. However, SeaWorld's owners dispute that figure, claiming their internal attendance numbers, normally not released as part of the cited study, are approximately 6.2 million guests.
Park design
Unlike most other theme parks, SeaWorld Orlando is not divided into "lands" or sections. There are, however, some distinct areas within the park.
Key West at SeaWorld
Key West at SeaWorld is designed to mimic the appearance of the city of Key West, Florida. Exhibits in this portion of the park include stingrays, dolphins, sea turtles, manatees and alligators. The stingray and dolphin habitats offer opportunities for guests to feed the animals.
Shamu's Happy Harbor
Shamu's Happy Harbor is a children's play area hosted by Shamu, the park's killer whale mascot, that features family rides and a play fortress.
The Waterfront at SeaWorld
The Waterfront, the newest section of the park, resembles a seaside Mediterranean village and contains shops and restaurants, as well as the park's iconic Sky Tower ride.
Clydesdale Hamlet
A signature component of the Anheuser-Busch theme parks is the stables of the famous Budweiser Clydesdales. Adjacent to the stables is the Hospitality House, where adult guests can sample Anheuser-Busch products and learn about the beer-making process.
