Ride Plan..??

I'm going to Sea World sometime between 4/19 and 4/26. I'd like to ride Kraken, Journey to Atlantis, and Wild Arctic, as well as seeing some big attractions like the penguins. In what order should I proceed to visit those attractions if I get there at park opening?

I would head straight to Kraken....Then see the Dolphin show, Then see the Sea lion Show....head to Atlantis...then see Penguins, Manatees, Sharks...then head to the back amd see wild artic and Shamu show....That will be the major stuff and you will mre then likely have time to see the minor attractions and exhibits....also save time for the night time shamu show its much better

Kraken and Atlantis are adjacent to each other. I would suggest riding both of those attractions first thing in the morning. On our most recent trip my son and I rode those first thing in the morning. We tried to re-ride around 11am and the lines were huge. Dolphin shows usually have room if you arrive at least 20 minutes before hand. Kraken and Atlantis are awesome!

I agree that if warm enuff to ride them back to back but mornings can be a little cool still in April....That is why I said that....but if its warm enuff do them both....I know last time we went we walked fast straight to Kraken and rode it 5 times in a row without having to get off....Lot of people seem to get side tracked by the Dolphin pool

So I should get there at opening, ride Kraken as many times as we can, then ride Atlantis, then do penguins and manatees?

If its warm enuff for you then go for it....chances are it will be warm but it can still be cool once in a while....Hit Kraken 1st, then if you wanna hit Atlantis....we always go in early Dec so its usually cool in the AM so we save Atlantis for lunch time....We always see the Dolphin Show 1st...the the Sea Lion show is not to be missed....Manatees is a little preshow movie the walk thru exhibit...penguins and sharks are walk thru exhibits so you can spend 5 minutes or 30 minutes depending how much you want to look at....Wild Artic is over by Shamu stadium so we head that way before or after the show....

and definately be there at opening time you will be able to get a jump on any crowds that come in.....get there about 30 minutes before opening to be exact....oh and have fun....We love Sea World.....The Sea Lion Show is one of the best shows at any park get there about 15 minutes early cause the Mime is hilarious

How many people are riding the coasters? If it is just you, you can get in the single line and get on much quicker than waiting for a whole row etc. My son usually rides Krachen by himself when we are there and usually rides a few times in a row within a half hour while I wait in the Atlantis gift shop. A must see BTW. Did you know there is a back room there that has an aquarium in the floor and ceiling ? cool and kids love walking on the glass. There are also small aquariums in the wall with various types of sea life like moon jelly fish etc.

As for when to do the Arctic????? Do not attempt to do this one right after a Shamu show. The lines will be long then. When a show is going on you can usually walk on this ride.
