Howl-O-Scream October 15, Review:

The first bad thing happened during parking. We paid for premium and none of the employees directing traffic knew where to send us. After going from one person to another we just guessed and parked. There were no signs or anything. Even now, I have no idea if we parked where we were supposed to.

We purchased the most expensive fast passes. These are meant to include all of the haunted houses, several rides and proffered seating to the show. We might as well have thrown our money in the garbage.

Just like parking, there were zero signs or employees to tell us where to go. We had to work our way through every line just to attempt and find a sign, usually somewhere near the halfway point. But even after finding where to go, the employees couldn’t be bothered with helping us. One even said just to push our way through the people in line and work our way to the front… To me that sounded like the fasted way to upset the other guests and terrible advice when all they needed to do was hang a sign at the line entrance. You know? Like how every other park does, including their sister park, Busch Gardens.

The ride experiences were worse. I honestly don’t know why they sold ride fast passes when the ride operators refused to honor them. Instead, they sent us into a 1.5 hour line for Mantis. The operators told us to just wait the hour and a half as they knew nothing about the ride passes. Same with Mako. The only ride we ride that punched our card and actually had a clearly marked line for was Ice Breaker, but that experience was the worst part of the night! The operators insulted us by first insisting that we wouldn’t fit on the ride so they made us step through and then tried to kick us out when I asked if we could try. After kindly arguing with us, using e wry word to describe our body types without saying “fat”, they finally agreed to let us try a different row. We fit perfectly. And do you want to know why? Because neither my wife or I are over weight or tall or disabled or have ever had any issues on any ride. I will be happy to post a picture of us if you feel the need to scrutinize us further, but I cannot begin to tell you how embarrassing that was for my wife and I!!! Others in line were actually laughing and swearing. The operator even smiled. And that was the first thing we went on.

As for the haunted houses, they weren’t that great. They felt plotless, without scares, and were more confusing than fun. The pirate one was okay, but mostly because the actors seemed like that had actual lines to say that fit the atmosphere.

To sum up, we wasted money for passes that were not honored, we were insulted, and no one knew or cared where we were supposed to go.

They only thing that was a quick experience, where the employee was helpful and knowledgeable, was buying the overpriced and useless express passes. Since when has Sea World turned into this?

I believe Orlando can never have too many great horror events, but this experience was messy and cruel. Sea World came across as greedy, unprofessional and heartless… I was one of their biggest fans and they just took our money and treated us like garbage.

Job interview Mr Asan Sajir very disrespectful eating a hard boiled egg during my interview doesn’t know what to do
Asking to wait for someone else that never show
The humans resource department should do a checking in this person’s

Dilapidated. This place is the worst theme park in Australia. It is littered with closed rides and minimal staff.

Great, if you want to come and see a fish but all the other attractions are just run down and there is minimal staff. I can’t see this place lasting much longer.
It looks worse than Dreamworld did just before it closed.

My god! Even the toilets were all blocked next to the busted castle ride. Tried to call to let them know and the on hold time was so bad, I gave up.

I USED TO LIKE SEAWORLD,BUT EVER SINCE I FOUND OUT THAT THEY CAPTURE ANIMALS FROM THERE NATURAL HABITAT.AND DONT FEED THEM WELL. THEY ONLY FEED THEM FISH AND ONLY IF THEY PREFORM.THEY SAY THERE DORSOL FINS FLIP OVER IF THERE OLD BUT THEY ONLY FLIP OVER BECAUSE THEY DONT GET WHAT THEY NEED THAT THEY GET IN THE WILD.WHEN A DOLPHIN OR ANIMAL DIES THEY FIND A NEW ONE IN THE OCEAN AND NAME IT THE SAME AND SAY ITS THE SAME ANIMAL.BUT IT IS NOT IF YOU DONT BELIEVE US LOOK UP THE BAD THINGS ABOUT SEAWORLD AND THATS ONLY A FEW THINGS ABOUT SEAWORLDS TRUTH.AND DONT BE THE REASON A ANIMAL DIES DONT BUY THERE TICKETS.

Bring your umbrella... it gets wet!! Great experience

I wish I could give a zero. On my park day, the weather turned bad and for hours there was lighting and thunder. It started right when we arrived. We never got to do one thing because the park closed all attractions. They refused to give a refund of the entry ticket at the park and said to call a number that they gave me. After spending 40 minutes on the phone with them they came back and said they won’t do a refund because it is company policy.

This was due to lighting where they closed the park and they still take your money even though they closed. This is theft in my opinion.

Don’t take any chances, don’t go and do one of the many other theme parks.

I use to have a Seaworld San Diego Annual pass. When I look at my online account, I don't see any "active passes." I called once to cancel my old account, which is probably why I have "No Active Passes" showing in my account. I check my bank and charges have been deducted from my account. I call customer service and they say that "I should have cancelled the account." BUT I have NO ACTIVE PASSES to cancel. Really Seaworld, you could do better than that.

I just wanted my refund.

If I could leave a negative 5 I would. We saved money for a trip to Seaworld and Disneyland. We don’t often get to travel. We bought city passes for Disneyland and Seaworld for 7 ppl. Disneyland went great but we got to Seaworld at 3 pm and they said they closed at 5….. I had literally just called two days before and I was told 8:00 pm.

I made a reservation for Sea World. I didn't realize that they refuse to offer refunds. I had an unexpected huge expensive come up for my car, so we are unable to make the trip to Sea World and Aquatic. They don't care and refuse to give me a refund. They said that I can use the tickets the next time we are going to be in San Antonio. That's going to be at Christmas, and they will be closed. They are extremely selfish by refusing to refund their tickets under certain circumstances!!!! Now I'm not sure it's worth even going, but they stole my money and refuse to give it back at all, so I guess we'll go eventually. It's still extremely unprofessional way to handle things!!!!

Bad! They are abusing the animals. So sad to look. Please let them out.

Saw an article about Whale and Dolphin Conservation, a group working to get an Orca called Lolita (not at Seaworld, but another Florida sea park) freed from captivity and I made a donation in memory of Tilikum, the Orca about whom Blackfish, the intensely moving documentary was made and after I saw it I bought a “free Tilikum” T shirt which I happened to be wearing when I saw the article. Anybody who can see Blackfish and still book tickets has to be heartless. IMHO.

Just watch Blackfish on Netflix. Animal cruilty. And you are a part of that when you buy a ticket. Stop.

If you visit this place you are just as bad as the people that made it and abuse the orcas and other animals

You directly fund it

Just do a very quick serch and you can see pretty much anything you want in the wild, although this does come with its own problems its alot better than this hell hole

If you need something to preform for you to appreciate it then you need to experience more of the world

Just watched blackfish on netflix
You should be ashamed of yourselves, all that are involved, you are barbarians and how do you sleep at night. Discusting

Visited Seaworld today.
Bought Quick Queue ticket approx. $70 found out it did not include Ice Breaker (had to wait 90 minutes) this was not explained to me when purchasing the ticket.
Also noticed a lot of rides with big queues were sending off the carts with vacant seats why do they not fill the carts when there is big queues.
Had to chuckle when at the Orca show they told you how they “rescued” a Manitee from Baltimore, flew it to Seaworld tagged it and released it for the animal to swim all the way back to Baltimore.
Finally the music played at, to me, unacceptably loud levels which prevented normal conversation, you had to raise your voice to be heard.
Overall a not too bad a day but there is room for improvement.

Notice how SeaWorld Orlando don't follow up any of the reviews left on trust pilot (true sign of a poor company)
I hope the owner of SeaWorld Orlando is treated as bad as SeaWorld does it's customers and animals, I also hope that the time they have left doing such on this planet earth is very limited.
Pig ignorant, incompetent, and rude staff.

Overall bad experience, shame as some good rides.

1. Food and drink not allowed from off site. Bags checked and food thrown in bins at entrance. Unethical and you are prone to rip off food prices. Disney and Universal allow food and drink….

2. Hardly any water fountains - if you find one it’s warm and tastes metallic.

3. Went to the sea lion and Orca shows. Both were cancelled having walked there and sat/waited. Whilst I understand animals cannot be made to perform I have my doubts as to whether they were ready and adequately trained.

4. Conservation warriors my backside. How come they want to sell water in bottles rather than provide adequate water fountains. Happy to bin food at entrance. …..some would call it green washing….. the thank you to first responders is nauseating at the killer whale show and I did 30 years….

5. Worst point is ride times. The app and ride times are simply not true and never updated. You can’t advertise 15 mins and then be 90 mins without any sign of bad weather or mechanical faults. Beggars belief walking round park, wasting time then getting bummed. Whilst I understand predicting times is tricky this is simply not working in any way. Meanwhile at Disney and Universal…

So I won’t be doing Aquatica and instead will do a rival water park and spend my money there…..

6. Oh, and 3 of the main rides closed at 7 early when advertised open till 9….signs were put up which show it was pre planned and not due to mechanical fault at the time. ….

I bought season passes for my wife, daughter and I. This is one of the worst choices that I've made. I thought they were a trust worthy organization. But after my dealings with them during the past 12 months, I have come to realize that this is the most unethical business I've ever had to deal with. I believed them when they spoke about all thier conservation efforts and contributions. But now I doubt everything they say.
And they renewed my annual passes without my knowledge and without my consent and refused to issue a refund. There is nothing in the terms that say they could do this. I have already contacted an attorney but I want to warn anyone about to make my mistake not to do it. There so called EZPAY says nothing about charging for an annual fee. Even the pass itself says that "Contract terms apply if purchased with EZ pay." Which I did not but still got charged.
They claim to have been voted the Best Amusement Park in the county by USA Today. NO WAY they are the best. Their has to be something nefarious about that vote. Someone should look into it. I will do my best to expose this unethical business.
They need to take a whole diffent direction. I would start with those on top since they are ultimately responsible. They need to be more transparent with their conservation efforts. So far I haven't been able to research it do to very sparse information found. Someone needs to investigate them.

If you try and leave when the park closes be prepared to wait for a couple hours to get out. Worst parking lot I've ever been to. How can you only have 1 exit for all these cars. You will see people get really mad at each other.
They sell plastic water bottles at the entrance for customers to fill in the park but it's so hard to find a place to fill it with out waiting in a long line. Only saw a couple drinking fountains and half didn't work. The water is warm if you do get any.
