Triple Treat Tour July 2016 Day 16 SeaWorld, Waterworld, Food World

[WileyCoyote]

The previous day is

A great day = Parks ! Walmart ! Longhorns ! Anarchic waterlogged mini golf ! Yes, today has them all

Monday 18 July

We are out the door at 8 and arrived at Seaworld at 0820

I know this because the parking didn’t open until 0830 and there was so much moaning in the car about getting up early and it not even being open that I got out of the car to avoid a mummy meltdown. :angry:

After all I had only been up since 7, done the ironing, packed the coolbox and ensured we were here for opening so there wouldn’t be any stupid mahoosive queues for Mako

I had to get back in the car a few minutes later as parking opened and it was nice to sail through with the free parking . The car was much quieter

The queue to get in through the turnstiles was a bit disorganised, no shade and they held everyone until 0945 – only to let you through and then hold you again by Manta .

Queue organisation ( lack Of) is v v poor here and at Busch

Finally the park is open and the boys walk really slowly because they are more interested in catching pokemon.

My nan and her surgical walking frame would have overtaken them.

I remained unimpressed with their overwhelming (lack of) participation this morning



Fortunately it wasn’t crowded









We had a nice stroll behind them and hung about – because of course when we arrived, it wasnt working and we had the dreaded technical announcement



Andy tried out the seat for size – wot no harness !



The boys had the sense to wait it out – unlike those who walked away and would find about 10 minutes later that it was up and running

That’s why we come early – Mako wait time – nil



By 9.30 they are off and Connor said it was probably the smoothest and best coaster he had been on

Not sure that’s what the picture says …



They went off to Manta and we headed off to the sharks





But first some of the other aquariums







And into the shark tunnel








From there we headed to Pacific Point – we ran into the boys on the way who said the wait time for Manta was too long so they were headed to Kraken



Well we just had the most fun at the sea lions talking to the keepers and watching them in the sunshine





This baby was so cute









Apparently these birds are not from the park , they come everyday when its feeding time!







This one was a complete poser









Ah seriously, they were so much fun and the keepers were so happy to chat
