1 day to see it all ~ best action plan! Help Please

[vacation_junkie]

We will only have 1 full day (Sat Feb 1st) at Sea World now due to sticking a cruise in our Vacation mix.
We will be staying at Springhill Suites so we will have Quick Queue.
We would love to experience all that Sea World has to offer...shows and rides alike.

For all you Sea World experts....Whats our best action plan?

DISCLAIMER: I am definitely not an expert! I only got to visit SeaWorld for one day in September.

I suggest going to Manta first (which by the way is the best ride ever in my opinion!) and working around the park 'clockwise', catching shows and redoing things if you want as you go. That's roughly what we did and it worked fine. I made a trip report for our SeaWorld day and if you'd like to read it the link's in my signature.

Make sure to get the free Quick wife at your hotel before you leave. This will give you better access to rides.
We grab a map when we enter and determine which shows we want to see and then fit rides in between. Our kids are little so we usually hang out in Happy Harbor and let them play a good while. It is totally doable in a day although you may miss a show or two that are real popular. Thankfully those with inside seating are not ones my kids like so we don't worry about waiting in line to get a seat for those shows.

We are going for one day also (Sat March 1st). This will be our first time. I am worried that since it is a Satureday the park will be really busy. We plan on getting there at opening so hopefully it won't be too bad.

I personally don't think Seaworld really ever gets unbearable busy. We were there just last night (a sat) in decemeber and it really wasn't that bad.

I would argue that one . It was shoulder-to-shoulder crowded on December 28th last year.

I think its reasonably unusual that its silly busy (because SW, on the whole, absorbs crowds very well), but it DOES happen.
