SeaWorld Orlando's Sesame Street

[IAmFloridaBorn]

I was shocked to see this all blocked off yesterday, but they are really moving full speed on this now! The familiar facades of Sesame Street will all be going in there. This will almost be a Sesame Place within SeaWorld with the scope of the project. I'm guessing they are planning on branding it as Sesame Place at SeaWorld and wouldn't be surprised to see the parade (that they've added in the other parks) added with it.

What is Seasame Place?

What is Seasame Place?

Smaller themed park owned by SWPE in the east, closer to Busch but I think over in Philadelphia. It's actually being looked at for coming to a second location, Williamsburg. Its Primarily themed to Sesame Street.

They need a signature dark ride to convince more families to drop money on this. It's not like they wouldn't be able to clone it in order to spread out the cost.

Was hoping for Grover's Crazy Taxi, or whatever it's called, to come to SWO

Why are you confusing Grover with Oscar?!

Grover seems to be getting in on the re-theme of Shamu Express.

Sorry, we dated in high school...I try to forget sometimes

This is pretty much exactly what SeaWorld needs. A recognizable IP and building out the area like the set of the TV show.

If they can turn an area into the park where I never set foot in as a 25 year old male and at least make it a fun atmosphere, then it's a win. It's an even bigger win if they add the parade here as well like some have said.

Even if the area is mostly just a bunch of flat rides, who cares. Flat rides are quick and easy installs and also help to hit their target demographic. A nice family dark ride would be nice though and would definitely widen the appeal of the land.

I know a lot of local families that have BGT annual passes because their young children LOVE the Seasame Street area in that park. It’s nothing that special, but kids love having a whole area that’s all theirs AND one that features characters they actually know.

Air Grover is more popular than Shamu Express... Both barely themed kiddie coasters, the key difference being, who doesn’t love Grover?

They actually confirmed that there will be a parade coming for the new area.

Is shamu express gone?

No. It's closed, yes, but I believe @AliciaStella mentioned that it'd be re-themed to Grover.

I Know That is it removed?

Don’t think so. Just gonna get new trains and area theming. Track should be remaining if what I’ve heard is true.

I haven’t been to the park in a couple months myself though.

 

[GAcoaster]

New trains coming from Europe (old trains shipped back already) and new paint and landscape going in now.

Yup, I’ve been there many times with my AP and it’s definitely really popular.

Kiddie coasters always seem to be rough. It's a Zierer...

 

[cwgator]

None of the Zierer kiddie coasters I've been on are rough. That Wisdom Rides Dragon Wagon kiddie coaster (Tasmanian Tiger) at ZooTampa (Lowry Park) that came from Wild Adventuress is rough.

 

[Cheezbat]

Not gonna lie...Loved Mako, definitely excited about Infinity Falls, and now Sesame Street.

Sea World is definitely making moves to get me to come back.

Uh this one was bad real bad

 

[UNIrd]

You really need a 15mph kiddie coaster to be smooth too. For that, stay in your car.
