“Jewels of the Sea: The Jellyfish Experience” at SeaWorld San Diego

SeaWorld San Diego is set to unveil “Jewels of the Sea: The Jellyfish Experience,” the first of its kind at SeaWorld parks. This immersive and interactive aquarium invites guests to dive into the heart of the ocean, where they’ll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes. Moon Jellyfish, Pacific Sea Nettles, Upside-Down Jellyfish, and Comb Jellies will gracefully glide through the water, showcasing their hypnotic movements. 

The experience features an 18-foot-tall cylinder, a 10-foot-tall acrylic living arch of jellyfish, and virtual oceanic moments that range from calm waters to dynamic crescendos. Guests can even upgrade their experience with a behind-the-scenes tour led by an aquarist and learn about jellyfish propagation. It’s a fun and educational way to explore the beauty and diversity of these translucent species while gaining a better understanding of ocean conservation.

“Catapult Falls” at SeaWorld San Antonio

Prepare for the much-anticipated opening of “Catapult Falls,” the world’s first launched flume coaster and the only vertical lift in North America. This family-friendly ride will catapult through the launch at speeds of 30 feet per second, delivering the rush of a coaster while rocking and swaying on a track of water.

Guests can look forward to experiencing the world’s steepest flume drop, North America’s only vertical lift flume coaster, and the tallest flume drop in Texas. Stay tuned for a first look at “Catapult Falls” ride vehicles.
