Florida theme parks, SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens Tampa have announced a new UK promotional ticket offer for 2013 and 2014, offering UK guests the opportunity to enjoy three parks for the price of two until 31st December 2014.  

With this exciting new offer, Florida holiday makers can experience all of the new attractions at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment for less, as well as the exciting openings and experiences to come in 2014.

2014 is the year of celebration and new heights at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment with a first-of-its kind face-down drop tower - Falcon’s Fury at Busch Gardens Tampa, Aquatica Orlando’s all-new terrifying free-falling water slide - Ihu’s Breakaway Falls, as well as SeaWorld’s 50th Anniversary celebration – Sea of Surprises.

For those planning an Orlando holiday sooner than then, a must see all-new attraction to visit is SeaWorld Orlando’s Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin. Featuring closer-than-ever-before encounters with over 250 penguins, temperatures as low as -1°C, Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin is the perfect family attraction to suit every age.

Opening Spring 2014 at Busch Gardens – Falcon’s Fury

In Spring 2014 Busch Gardens Tampa is taking guest experiences to new heights with Falcon’s Fury, the first drop tower of its kind in the world, mimicking the dive speeds of the fastest animal on earth*.

Falcon’s Fury will stand at 335 feet (102metres) and take riders plunging 60 mph straight down.  At the ride’s highest point Busch Gardens has added an element of surprise.  Like its bird of prey namesake, riders will pivot 90 degrees in midair to a face-down dive position. An instant later they'll plunge 60 mph at 3.5 Gs straight down with speed and power like never experienced before.

With no connecting structures, it will be the tallest freestanding drop tower in North America. 

Coming to SeaWorld in 2014 - 50 Year Celebration at SeaWorld

The original SeaWorld park opened its gates for the first time in March 1964 on Mission Bay in San Diego. To commemorate a key event in the company’s history, SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment will launch a multi-park 50th celebration in 2014 called Sea of Surprises.

From 21st March 2014 SeaWorld parks in San Diego, Orlando and San Antonio will share the excitement through celebrations that will highlight some of the most memorable SeaWorld experiences. 

For nearly five decades, SeaWorld has surprised and amazed guests with unique entertainment, thrilling rides and up-close encounters with marine animals. During SeaWorld’s 50th Celebration, visitors will be invited to take part in the celebration through new interactive experiences, shows and pathway performances, even more up-close animal encounters throughout the park and the SeaWorld Surprise Squad treating guests with prizes every day.

Free-falling all-new heights at waterpark Aquatica, Orlando

Aquatica Orlando’s all-new terrifying free-falling water slide - Ihu’s Breakaway Falls – opens in 2014. The drop slide will be the tallest, steepest and only multi-slide ride of its kind in Orlando. The slide is named after Ihu, Aquatica Orlando’s colorful gecko, who searches for the biggest thrills, steepest hills and the coolest spills in the waterpark.
