"SESAME STREET" DOCKS AT SEAWORLD
"Sesame Street" has docked at SeaWorld. Guests can start their day with a fun-filled character breakfast - Breakfast with Elmo and Friends, offered daily from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., which offers a delicious buffet served-up with character favorites.
Throughout the day, kids and parents also will enjoy special character connection opportunities to meet their favorite "Sesame Street" friends for hugs and photographs.
A new high-seas adventure, Elmo and the Bookaneers, features an original musical score, thrilling visual effects and live-action performances with stunt kites and high-speed water craft. In this one-of-a-kind "Sesame Street" production, open through Labor Day weekend, Elmo and his furry friends - Bert, Ernie, Rosita, Cookie Monster, Telly Monster and Abby Cadabby - share their love of reading through a comical, swashbuckling pirate adventure that combines singing, dancing and a search for buried treasure.
SHAMU'S HAPPY HARBOR EXPANSION AND RIDES
Now doubled in size to four fun-filled acres, the massive, kid-centered Shamu's Happy Harbor is the ultimate playground, with a squeal-inducing collection of rides, slides and splash-filled activities designed for kids of all ages. Shamu's Happy Harbor's newest rides include:
-- Sea Carousel, a marine-themed masterpiece topped by a behemoth 45-foot- wide pink octopus, allows riders to board a colorful collection of 65 sea creatures, including giant exotic fish, sea lions, otters, sharks and dolphins, and "float" up and down as the carousel revolves to the sounds of the sea. -- The Flying Fiddler, a giant, bright-red fiddler crab with illuminated eyes that move, fills its belly with 12 children and adults and lifts them to more than 20 feet in the air. At the height of the moment, the Flying Fiddler begins jumping in a vertical descent in a quick series of short drops, sure to bring elated faces of surprise and delight. -- Ocean Commotion, a fanta-"sea"-themed enormous 19-foot tug boat, will take 24 riders at a time on a swinging boat ride, gently rocking back- and-forth and whirling side-to-side.
Last year, three new attractions were the first of a two-part expansion. Themed after SeaWorld's famous killer whale, the Shamu Express thrills 28 children and parents in Shamu-themed cars down more than 800 feet of track at 28 mph. Jazzy Jellies lifts and spins families in jellyfish-themed seats. And, Swishy Fishies enables adventurous youngsters to sit in oversized seats while they spin around a giant water spout.
SHAMU ROCKS
Shamu Rocks, a massive rock 'n' roll concert in Shamu Stadium, showcases music by some of the hottest rock stars in the industry, including Jennifer Lopez, KISS, Savage Garden and Shakira. A live guitarist wails out the hits while killer whales leap, splash and soar along to the tunes.
