Seaworld Orlando vs Seaworld San Antonio?

[goofy1022]

Has anyone been to both parks in order to compare? We have been to San Antonio twice and we don't know if we should take the time to visit the one in Orlando or not... Do they have the same attractions, rides, shows, etc.... and does the one in Orlando have a waterpark in it?

Thanks in advance!

I've been to both, and I have to say I like SeaWorld Orlando better. There isn't a water park in Orlando, as there is in San Antonio, but that hasn't been an issue for our family. There is Shamu's Happy Harbor in Orlando which is a water play area for kids, but that wasn't an attraction for our kids either... they just want to see the animals. San Antonio has more rides than Orlando, but the animal displays are much better in Orlando. Wild Arctic in Orlando is neat with the motion simulator at the beginning (you can bypass this if you want), and the belugas and polar bears inside the attraction. The Dolphin feeding area in Orlando is much nicer, and larger than San Antonio.

Both are good parks, but very different. I wouldn't rule out going to Orlando just because you've been to San Antonio.

I know the SW in Orlando has a mantee (sp?) attraction and a polar bear attraction while the San Antonio one does not.
