"Leaving so soon? I think not..."
While SeaWorld parks do contain generally fun attractions for all ages, there can be the one instance of sprinkling in some terror during your experience.
NOTE: All orca incidents up to 2013 will go under Blackfish's page.
- The sea witch in Orlando's Journey to Atlantis ride (pictured right). At first she appears as a beautiful mermaid/siren, but not too long after reveals her true self and attempts to attack you as well as sink the boat you're in.
- If you're not very comfortable with sharks or in general suffer from galeophobia, you're not gonna like the attraction where you can walk through a tunnel-like tank, with all kinds of sharks swimming around you.
- Thankfully, there's a plaque that reminds you that the glass is much stronger than it appears.
- For some, the Manta roller coaster qualifies as this. Mostly with how it restrains its riders in the prone position, meaning you're laying face down the whole time on a high speed roller coaster that has multiple inversions and reaches heights of 140 ft.
- Ironically, the fact that you are lying prone (horizontally) instead of sitting up (vertically) means that despite the inversions and the drops, the actual effects of gravity on your body are lessened. Meaning that while, visually, this is still a wild ride, you feel a much milder ride than you think you're having.
- Plus there's the Kraken roller coaster, which has drops as long as 144 ft and goes well over 60 mph in speed. Not to mention the fact that the ride is somewhat based off of the terrifying sea monster of the same name.
- It also used to have VR. Added in the 2017 renovation, the experience depicts the train as a submarine exploring the ocean, then it gets sucked into a volcanic vent where a giant angler fish attempts to eat the riders, however this is narrowly dodged, then the riders enter an area where prehistoric sea creatures attack you. Then, the titular Kraken appears and chases you through Atlantis. After that, the Kraken grabs the submarine with its tentacles, only to lose grip as the riders resurface. Only for the Kraken to lunge out of the water and eat the submarine.
