If you haven’t already heard, it’s currently undergoing an epic transformation, that will make it even scarier than before! The exhilarating attraction is already holds the record for being Orlando’s only floorless rollercoaster, and will soon become SeaWorld’s first virtual reality coaster when it opens on 16th June.

Guests must choose whether they are team Kristoff or team Olaf, before taking part in a series of exciting challenges. Join in the fun with a snowball toss, where pairs compete in a snow-themed water balloon toss, followed by an Ice Pail Relay and a Ski Pole Limbo! Make sure you bring your camera, as you’ll get the chance to meet Kristoff and the loveable Olaf too.

Pop:

 

Pop Bubble Show at SeaWorld Orlando

 

A brand new, one of a kind show has launched at SeaWorld Orlando. Pop is an incredible collaboration between SeaWorld and Bubble Legendary, and is unlike anything you’ve seen before. Guinness World Record holder Fan Yang takes to the stage to perform his mesmerising bubble artistry routine, which is inspired by the ocean and the beautiful sea creatures that live there. As well as enormous bubbles of all shapes and sizes, you can expect a custom musical score, state-of-the-art lighting and colourful lasers.

Summer of Mars:

 

Summer of Mars Kennedy Space Center

 

Summer of Mars is an out of this world event at the Kennedy Space Center, featuring Mars-themed shows, special astronaut appearances and much more! NASA’s goal is to send humans to the red planet in the 2030’s, and guests will be able to learn all about the missions that have led to this huge aim, and what’s in store for the future. One of the highlights of the summer event is the chance to see the Mars Rover concept vehicle. This amazing 28-foot space craft has been specially designed for navigating the challenging landscape of Mars, and could even be the vessel that the next generation of space explorers travel in! This is a once in a lifetime chance to get up close to the Rover, before it begins a tour of the USA from mid-July. If you’re visiting soon, it’s worth making time to see.

When? 5th June-4th September

Busch Gardens Summer Nights:

 

Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Summer Nights

 

Busch Gardens invites you to “party louder and play later” at their reimagined Summer Nights event. The popular event has had a bit of a makeover for 2017, with exciting new party zones, and a brand new ice show added to the line-up! One of the things we love most about Summer Nights, is that you get to ride some of the park’s most thrilling roller coasters after hours! Falcon’s Fury, Cheetah Hunt and SheiKra are scarier than you could possibly imagine in the dark, so if you’re a bit of a thrill seeker, you won’t want to miss this amazing event.

There will be three themed party zones for you to enjoy:

Fiesta Fiesta- offers a Latin experience with a flavoursome menu

Luau- is inspired by the islands, and has a tasty Hawaiian menu and refreshing tropical cocktails

Vibin’ Village- transports you to Africa, with tribal entertainment, authentic cuisine and craft beer

The new Turn It Up! Ice show is a stunning celebration of summer, featuring contemporary performances, aerial movements and pop music. Summer Nights is running for a limited time only, so make sure you don’t miss out on the fun.

When? 16th June-6th August (Open until 9pm Sundays-Thursdays and until 11pm Fridays and Saturdays)

 

Electric Ocean:

 

Electric Ocean SeaWorld Orlando

 

An all-new night-time celebration is coming to SeaWorld Orlando, giving you the chance to see the park in a whole new light. When the sun goes down, the park comes to life with bioluminescent lighting, lively music, fireworks and pathway entertainment, immersing guests in a “glowing sea of wonder”. SeaWorld haven’t revealed too many details about the new show, but we think it already sounds pretty impressive, and can’t wait to see what’s in store when the show debuts later this month!

When? 17th June-5th August
