Anything marked separate ticket needs its own admission, not just a park ticket.
Wait times ride by ride
12 rides have been recorded here often enough to show a
pattern — typical wait by hour, busiest day, and how often each one is closed.
How busy does it usually get?
- No day stands out. The busiest and quietest weekdays are only
3 min apart, while the same weekday varies by about
6 min from one week to the next — so naming a best day here
would be guessing. The hour you arrive is the firmer signal.
- Queues are typically shortest around 10am
(1 min) and longest around 1pm
(13 min), park time — from 12 hours of the day
with at least 3 readings each.
Based on 12 days of readings since 2026-07-16,
covering 3 of 7 weekdays so far.
Thin days are labelled rather than smoothed over — we would rather say we don’t know.

About these numbers
Waits come from SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment’s public feed via queue-times.com, which updates every few
minutes. The history is ours: this site takes its own readings on a rotation and folds them into
per-hour and per-weekday averages, which is the only way to answer “is this line shorter than
usual?”. Where the record is thin, the page says so instead of guessing.
