An all-new family waterslide rocks into Sea World's Aquatica Water Park in Orlando with unique thrills including high-speed tubes and half-pipe funnels that’ll have riders splashing and sliding frontward and backward and climbing the walls.  The first waterslide of its kind in the world, Omaka Rocka is now open.

What makes Omaka Rocka can’t-miss water park ride in Orlando? Riders speed down flumes into massive funnels, sliding high up one side and then the other, rocking back and forth, feeling a sensation of near weightlessness.  Coming out of the funnel, they’ll skim into a drenching splashdown and then find themselves wanting to do it all over again.

Omaka Rocka is a waterslide taste of half-pipe, near-vertical thrills previously experienced only by daring skateboarders and snowboarders.  If you like thrills, plan a day at Sea World Aquatica Water Park!  CLICK HERE to purchase discount tickets.

Orlando features lots of great Halloween events including the adult Halloween Horror Nights that I reviewed in the blog yesterday.  One of the best Halloween events for younger children and families is Sea World's Spooktacular.  This event is free with your paid admission to Sea World.  While Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios and Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party at Magic Kingdom charge a separate admission to their events, Sea World is free which is a great value if you are visiting this month.

This fun event for younger kids features trick or treating, cookie decorating, face painting, hair wrapping, and even a special Halloween show with your favorite Sesame Street characters.  For more information about Sea World Spooktacular or to purchase 1-Day Passes with your 2nd day free, click here.

One of the best ticket values for an Orlando vacation is the popular Orlando FlexTicket.  For one discount price, you can get admission for 14 consecutive days to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World, Aquatica, and Wet n Wild.  You can visit these parks as much as you would like for two weeks.  You also save money on parking, since you only pay parking once each day.

You can even upgrade the Orlando FlexTicket to the PLUS Option to include one additional visit to Busch Gardens Tampa with a free bus ride from Sea World.  This is the perfect way to enjoy most of the Orlando Theme Parks in one easy ticket at one great price.  Click here to purchase the discount Orlando FlexTickets.

As Orlando locals, we get so excited when something new comes to the Theme Parks.  This year is full of new rides, parades, and promotions.  One of my personal favorites is roller coasters.  The roller coaster I have been waiting to ride is called the Manta at Sea World Orlando.  This new roller coaster is opening this Spring.  This week, Manta took its first test flight.  Check out the fun video of Sea World's Manta:

This past Saturday and Sunday were huge days in Orlando for special events.  Sea World kicked off the Bud & BBQ and Universal Studios started the Mardi Gras event at Universal Orlando.  With all of the fun events and parks in Orlando, I started thinking about the incredible benefits of the Orlando FlexTicket.  The Orlando FlexTicket is one ticket that allows you admission into 5 of the best theme parks in Orlando for one great price.  The Orlando FlexTicket allows you unlimited admission for 14 consecutive days to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Sea World Orlando, Wet n Wild, and Aquatica.  Most guests do not spend 2 weeks in Orlando, but even for a week this ticket more than pays for itself!  Here are some of my favorites about this ticket:

• You don't have to worry about packing and carrying around different tickets - just one ticket for your whole vacation
• With this ticket you only pay for parking once a day.  If you decide to hit Sea World in the morning and then stop by Universal Studios for the evening hours, you only pay for parking at Sea World.  The parking at Universal Studios is free. 
• You get admission into the newest and best waterpark, Aquatica!
• You can add an extra visit to Busch Gardens Tampa and shuttle to this park is included for free
• Get the best out of Orlando Parks at one great price!

The Orlando FlexTicket is a great ticket at a wonderful price for an Orlando vacation.  Be sure to pre-order your tickets.  You can save a little extra money on the Orlando FlexTicket, when you purchase it before your vacation to Orlando.  Click here for prices (Adult and Child) on the Orlando FlexTicket. 

You can get an extra day free at Sea World Orlando with the purchase of a 1-Day Pass.  This in an extra day to see Shamu, watch the Believe Show, eat dinner with sharks, or just visit with your favorite Sesame Street Characters.  It is hard to believe that you actually get something free at the Orlando Theme Parks, but it is true.  When you purchase a 1-Day to Sea World, you will receive a 2nd day free.  You do have to use your 2nd day within 7 days of your first ticket.

Disney World started the FastPass system to help guests eliminate the waits in the long theme park rides and attractions.  Universal Studios created their own version of this system called Universal Express.  Now, Sea World Orlando is testing out their version of this line skipping option for guests.  Sea World is calling this extra option the Quick Queque.  You can pay an extra $29.95 per person on top of the regular theme park admission.  This option will allow you front of the line access on more popular rides like Kraken and Journey to Atlantis.  Plus, you also get special seating at some of the more popular shows like Believe and Blue Horizons.  This testing phase runs until September 1.  If you are planning a trip to Sea World before September, you may want to try out this new feature to save a little time waiting in lines at Sea World.
