(June 11, 2009) -- When Florida residents buy a ticket to SeaWorld Orlando, the hardest choice they’ll make is which other world-class theme park they’ll visit for free.
Starting Thursday, and for a limited time only, buying a full price SeaWorld Orlando ticket online includes getting a free visit to either Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or Aquatica in Orlando through the end of 2009. That means plenty of time to dive deep and fly high on Manta, SeaWorld’s all-new flying roller coaster; explore where the unexpected comes together at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay or frolic in the playfulness of the sea at Aquatica, SeaWorld’s one-of-a-kind waterpark.
All offers are available to Florida residents at BuschGardensTampaBay.com, SeaWorldOrlando.com, or by calling 1.888.800.5447.
New at SeaWorld is Manta, the only flying roller coaster of its kind in the world. A can’t-miss, feel-like-you’re-flying, seamless blend of up-close animal encounters with a head-first, face-down roller coaster thrill ride. But at night, SeaWorld’s AfterDark sparks the evening with all-new shows and fireworks filling the sky, and Shamu Rocks is a hot concert with SeaWorld’s biggest star.
Just across the street from SeaWorld is Aquatica, where guests can go in, over and under the water with the world’s most unique water rides and animal encounters. Aquatica mixes animal experiences, waters from serene to extreme, high-speed waterslide thrills and wide, sandy beaches to create a day of non-stop Central Florida fun.
New at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is Jungala, a lush jungle village where guests have the chance to connect with the natural world, coming nose-to-nose with orangutans, testing their strength against a Bengal tiger, exploring a three-story play land of climbing nets, mazes and tunnels, and soaring above the treetops on a zip line adventure. This summer Busch Gardens celebrate 50 years of fun during Summer Nights. It’s a nightly party 50 years in the making! Guests can stay late to explore Jungala, ride thrilling coasters in the dark and enjoy the street-party atmosphere with special entertainment, music and festive food and drink.
“This exclusive Florida resident offer makes a visit to our world-class theme parks more affordable than ever,” says Joe Couceiro, Busch Entertainment Corp.’s chief marketing officer. “Summer is the perfect time for families and friends to stay late and experience all the wonders and thrills of SeaWorld, Busch Gardens and Aquatica. It’s never been easier for guests to make lasting memories and keep an eye on their budget.”
