Seaworld - what to do first, and quick que question

[LisaTN]

We will be at Seaworld Saturday, Feb 14th. We will be purchasing Quick Que. 6yo daughter will not be interested in Kraken' or Manta.

1. Does Quick Que include Shamu's Happy Harbor?

2. We want to do the following: Feed the Dolphins, Atlantis, Antartica, Wild Artic, Shamu's Happy Harbor, Turtle Trek, Shows: One Ocean, Horizon and Pets Ahoy.

What should we do first, taking into account we will have Quick Que and plan to arrive "rope drop" style. I'm guessing Doplhin feeding first? Any help with the touring plan will be GREATLY appreciated!!! Don't mind paying for Quick Que even if just for a couple of rides. We only have one day here and want to do as much as possible. hours are 9-7pm that day. THANKS!!

THANKS!!

Well Boo, looks like Dolphin Cove will be closed during our visit.

1. Not totally sure, but I don't think Happy Harbor does Quick Que. Time your visit to the Happy Harbor so that Shamu stadium doesn't let out while you are there.

2. Since you are using Quick Que, I don't think you'll have any problems with the rides. We usually plan our days around the show schedule and fill the in-between with rides. If you start at rope drop I think you could get lots of rides done before starting on the shows.

In our experience, Sea World has a slower paced feel to it than Disney. Make sure you plan out your shows and catch a few rides, but also slow down to enjoy the animals and to talk to some employees that hang around animal exhibits (the animal connections in the sea garden are pretty neat). Our family really enjoys Sea World - I hope yours does too.

If you're doing 1 time per ride Quick Que and not Quick Que unlimited, I'd hit Antarctica first thing without using your Quick Que. Then, later in the afternoon, you can ride it again with your Quick Que BEFORE riding Atlantis (you don't want to be wet while watching the Penguins). For most everything else, Quick Que will be nice the lines aren't usually terrible if you want to ride a second time.

Thanks!!! Didn't even think about how cold it would be if we were wet for Antarctica! Thanks for the tip. I think we have unlimited Quick Que, but I'll check.

No Problem. If you bought it, it's most likely the Unlimited Quick Que. If it's from the hotel or part of a package, it's probably the 1 trip. I got mine as part of a package. I almost made that mistake. When I went back around for my second trip on Antartica it was down. I almost went over to Atlantis. But instead, went and rode Kracken while I waited for the ride to come back up. Then went over to Atlantis.

A couple more thoughts - we had one time quick ques. We did the penguins at park opening in early Sept. Pack a sweatshirt! It was really cold in there and they are amazing to watch. Also, our pass did not include the happy harbor but I we wouldn't have needed it anyway. The Dolphin feeding was great. If by chance the schedule changes, and it is open, hit it for the first feeding.
