Times come from the park’s own published schedule and can move or be cancelled on the day. Anything marked separate ticket needs its own admission, not just a park ticket.

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.
