At the town hall for BGW it was reported an updated and improved app was coming… hopefully this also means better system for the kiosks.

Unfortunately Pipeline and Ice Breaker are both on 1 train for the opening weekend of Christmas Celebration. The Sea of Trees is also not ready, however show times were still posted for today on the app and website meaning that crowds of guests were stood around confused.

As reported elsewhere, the logo sign in Port of Entry has been removed. Hopefully a new photo opportunity will be added.

Foliage has been removed and cleaned up behind the logo sign in Port of Entry, revealing previously blocked views of Manta's final turn. Fall leaves have also been added as decor.

Refurbishment at the park entrance is causing chaos. Staff are also holding up entire lines for parties that are unable to locate tickets on their phones which is unfortunate.

Permits for a new restaurant @SeaWorld Orlando were recently approved. Will be a fresh building rather than taking over an existing space. Will sit right next to the Orca Stadium in an area of the park that has seen significant development in the past 5 years.

SWO as seen from the air today! Note how the SeaQuest building is now the largest enclosed structure in the park.

Wikie and Keijo remain stranded in a deteriorating facility at the closed Marineland. The situation is a disgrace and an indictment of the blocking of transfers that has subjected them to this. Marineland closed in January 2025. It is September 2026. What are we doing here?

Certain reports in Europe suggest orcas Wikie and Keijo could be transferred from the shuttered Marineland France park to SeaWorld Orlando. At this time any potential transfer is unconfirmed.
