Help with Seaworld??

[Tinkerduck]

Myself, DH and DD's 9 and 5 will be at Seaworld on August 23. We will have a chance at a second day but I'd like to make the most of our first visit as we're not sure we'll make it back. I would love to ride the coasters but I would end up doing it by myself as DD's are too short and DH isn't much of a Thrill rider. But, if it's too tricky to fit in I can skip the coasters. Here is what I was thinking, does anyone have any suggestions??

We have our tickets so can arrive early.

Kracken or Manta on my own
Journey to Atlantis
Wild Arctic
Blue Horizons 10:00am
Happy Harbour for rides
Lunch
Pets Ahoy 12:15
Exhibits
Believe 2:30

I'm not sure how much I can fit in between shows. Can anyone help?

Are you planning to stay open until close that day? Your show schedule is pretty packed together. If you're planning to stay until close and end your day with the 6:30 Believe show you'll give your self a lot more time to see everything.

If not, this order would work better

Manta on my own -
(If line is low, which it should be. I did this with my family, and my wife and son went to see the Turtles and Stingrays while I rode. The line was less than 15 minutes and I just met them at Stingray Lagoon afterwards. If you like coasters, don't miss this one!!)

Journey to Atlantis -
(Again, if line is low, but give yourself time to get good seats for Blue Horizons, and consider riding after the show. If you are doing this as a family cool, my 6yo son rode it, but wasn't crazy about it. If you are considering it yourself it is more skipable than Kracken, or Manta.)

Blue Horizons 10:00am
(Don't skip this one, it was our families favorite.)

Exhibits -
(consider extending your exhibit time until seating for Pets Ahoy and have lunch after the show. That show isn't very long maybe 30min.)

Pets Ahoy 12:15

Lunch

Wild Arctic
Believe 2:30
Happy Harbor for rides

You can switch Wild Arctic and Happy Harbor they are both near Shamu Stadium.

If you can spread out your shows a little more, ending with Believe at 6:30, you can make sure to see a lot more of the park, and not feel so rushed. If you haven't been there before you'll be amazed how spread out the park is and you have to give yourself some time to get between attractions. For example; Shamu Stadium, Wild Arctic, and Happy Harbor sit out quite a ways from everything else.

Just some food for thought...

Thank you so much. That is really helpful. I'll have a go at spreading things out a bit more.
