I was at SeaWorld last week, there were some things I knew about like the Penguin Trek construction but had no idea they are doing some renovation to the Orca stadium too. I'm curious to see what they are actually doing to it. I don't know if this is the norm lately with SeaWorld cause I simply don't remember but they were shutting down parts of the park before 6pm, basically the area behind the dolphins where the turtles and journey to Atlantis and the penguins are. I assume it's because of the construction going on with everything or maybe they just didn't have the staff to keep it open all day on a weekday. Got to ride on Pipeline for the first time, it's definitely by far the best stand up I've been on but it's still just not really for me. I'm an average sized person but I just don't find it comfortable. I didn't read anyone here that had this issue but when I hit one of the bouncing parts the back of one of my legs hit a metal piece of the seat, didn't hurt enough to complain to anyone about it and if I had pants on instead of shorts I wouldn't have noticed it as much but it just wasn't something I was expecting and was curious if anyone else here had that happen to them. Mako is still my favorite ride in the park, they still never fixed the screens above the ride station and they weren't on when we went last year around this same time either. We also got to experience the seven seas food festival. The prices for lanyards were more money than I remember from last year but we got to have an 18 sample one for the 15 sample price with the platinum pass discount. The portions however were much bigger than previous year's so that definitely made up for price difference.

People are mad about only getting one ride, yea it sucks but you can always wait the 6 hours to ride it if you want. People never got to ride the OG one and they all lived to talk about it.

I got on Tron last week, ended up in one of the very last boarding groups for the night so was thinking we might not make it on but ended up getting lucky and getting assigned to the front row. The launch is awesome and hitting the outside part at night was visually really cool. I liked the theme of racing against the orange team but was definitely hard to notice all of it on only 1 ride since you go by it all pretty quick. I do wish the ride was a bit longer and would definitely have liked to ride it some more but that aspect is what it is. Looked like a lot of work was done on the Splash to Tianas conversion on the outside portion but it's definitely weird going to the park and not seeing the ride. There's a lot of green around what you can see from the walkways by it. I'm just hoping the new ride is fun. I know Genie+ is a big topic of annoyance on a lot of Disney boards but I wouldn't ever visit the parks without it. We saved 4 hours alone just from Pan, Mansion and Winnie the Pooh ride and meeting Mickey. With how little we actually go to the parks any lines we can skip waiting on is a real bonus for us.
