Is there an equivalent to the GAC for Seaworld?

I don't know of one but then there are very few rides, most of the attractions are shows or walk through type attractions and are accessible for everyone, so there's probably no need.

I don't know if there is a GAC but I do know if you buy your tickets on the day and you have a disabled person with you you get 50% discount at the gate.

yes there is, you need to visit the park customer relations desk when you enter the park

if the disability is non apparent (eg autism) they need to see the child/ young person

we had one for our last trip and found it to be of little use, IMO the staff at rides could have done with some more disability awareness training especially when it comes to those less obvious disabilities

I must say we have never felt the need for one but then Dd would not be able to go on the rides they have. Shows are just walk in and never had a problem.
As said earlier if you buy your ticket on the day the disabled and carer both get in for half price.

One thing to be aware of at Seaworld is that at a couple of the shows the disabled seating is in the splash zone with no alternative. This was the one disappointment for us this time as I either had to get wet (which I didn't want to) or go some distance up in to the stadium as all the lower rows out of the splash zone were taken although it was still almost an hour before the show.
