Seaworld /Busch/acquatica

[GEMMAMCG]

Hi, I was just wondering how busy these parks are compared with universal and Disney parks? We are going in June/July and just doing these parks as we were told that they not as busy since the seaworld scandal?

I am not sure which scandal, excuse my ignorance.

In July we have found Aquatica very busy with sometimes long queues on the best rides... same as all water parks. Seaworld is busy, sometimes not so crowded as Universal or Disney, but once again all the best rides are big queues, but tolerable.

My favourite park is Busch, it is a big area and generally feels more spacious. Once again the most popular rides will have queues but these are usually move at a reasonable speed. Arriving first thing is worth it to get the big rides done. Additionally in the evening it gets quieter. The best time is always after a late afternoon downpour...many people head home and the rides can be walk on. I think it helps that many people travel over from Orlando, rather than wait it out and drive home in dark, head home.

I have found similar in Universal, but most people will wait out late afternoon downpours, but if pours in the evening... it can get really quiet, which is brill.

All above is my opinion, but you could look at wait times history for more detailed info

We love going
It's a personal choice and preference

We are going in June to all three of them, we also read that Seaworld has been quieter because of the scandal, we last went in 2014, so can't really compare what is was like then to what it will be.

We came back last week, we found all three of them quiet. It was nice walking straight on the rides and not waiting. Longest we waited was 15 mins
during the end of the 2 week it started getting a lot busier but manageable, aquatica was quite busy on one Saturday but thats the norm. But some rides was a max wait of 15mins

Seaworld and Busch Gardens will be quiet then as well !
