History

On September 11, 2001, SeaWorld Orlando and other major amusement parks were forced to close when the terrorist attacks occurred.

Attendance

In 2014, the park hosted an estimated 4,683,000 guests, down from 5,090,000 guests the year before following a series of animal welfare controversies affecting all three SeaWorld parks. However, the park's attendance increased again to 4,777,000 guests in 2015, making SeaWorld Orlando the most visited SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment theme park. In 2016, the park's attendance decreased by 7.9% to a new low of 4,402,000. In 2017, park attendance hit another new low of 3,962,000 following a 10% attendance decrease. However, the park's attendance increased by 16% in 2018 back up to 4,594,000.
