Although we had been looking forward to Sea World, we were also a little bit sad as we knew we were know drawing close to the end of our wonderful holiday. We skipped breakfast and just ended up getting a cookie from the Starbucks we had on site.

I didn't really really remember much of Sea World from when I went back on 2000 with my parents. The 3 things I do remember were Clyde and Seamore, The Shamu Stadium and Kraken being built.





The first thing we did before anything else when we got in the park was Manta.







WOW! This ride was INTENSE! It was nice and tranquil whilst going through the queue line with all the fishes everywhere and then BANG :scared1: G-Force central.

In my very limited technical roller coaster knowledge, the part that was insane was the part called a 'pretzel loop'. Karl and I both said we had never been on a ride where we had been physically pushed in to our seat unable to move like that particular section of the ride. It was crazy... brilliant...but crazy!

When we had regained our sense of balance, we went over to the watch Clyde and Seamore. I loved this show last time I saw it so I was looking forward to it this time too. We also saw some of these on the way over...










I loved these guys. They are so cool and the show is so cute. I have to say, the Mime at the start had everyone in stitches, he was fab!





















We both really enjoyed the show but we were so hot so were quite glad to get out of the show arena. We decided we needed some wind in our hair so headed over to this bad boy...



When we had been eyeing this ride for a while and thought it looked really good but not to high (I get a bit scared of rides heightwise). I mean, I still would be going on it no matter what but it just gave me something to not be worried about.

We got strapped in and the seats were amazing. There was nothing around you or under you so you could see ALL around you! We started to climb and it suddenly dawned on me, the ride was actually a lot higher than I thought. This also wasn't helped by Karl (who has no problem with rides at all) suddenly saying:

Karl: "Is that Shamu Stadium over there?"
Me: "Karl, don't...I can't look...it's too..."
Karl: *puffing out his cheeks* "Oooh, this is high, wow!"

The fact that even Karl was panicking made me panic even more!! We got to the top, just started to drop and I lost all fear and threw my hands up in the air! What RUSH!!! This ride was amazing! Make sure you make time for this as it's a pure thrill! I also couldn't speak when we got off as I had been screaming so much :rotfl2:

We needed a little relax and to calm down after out Kraken experience so we took a stroll over the the stingrays and dolphins :love:
