hey everybody eric here from nomadic fanatic hope you guys are doing well
uh for a-list ticket attractions in san diego i had three options legoland the san diego aquarium
or sea world this is the very first sea world here in san diego i've been to both the texas and
orlando one so today we're going to be checking out sea world san diego thanks for joining me guys
we'll be uploading this video with some nomad internet link below in the video description
all right we're in the park it's busy as heck in here i think i'm more of a sea world guy
because i like animals and attractions but these attractions here are nothing like disney world
attractions they are a little more extreme but um there's four things that are closed today
let's see the tidal twister ride the turtle reef journey to atlantis ride and the sea lion and
otter amply theater is also closed everything else is open and uh we're gonna have some fun
in sea world today oh look at this guy coming at us that's a white spotted bamboo shark right there
all right just checking out the magnets here i don't think they're going to run out or
anything by the end of the day but i did think i was going to possibly get my sea world magnet
and of course i i like this one but i haven't ridden the electric eel yet
so we gotta wait on a magnet i'll come back at the end of the night and uh grab one later
there's gonna be fireworks here tonight too park is open 10 a.m until 8 00 p.m and their prices
change throughout the week right now because they have different hours and things going on each day
so that's what's going on we need to find a ride look at that tower up there that goes up and down
and then this banner so we are we're doing mardi gras here at the park
they're going to have some activities and parades here later midday so need to get
some food inside me real quick before i go on a big coaster so i'm going to get a pretzel i think
oh yeah it's good stuff good stuff all right let's go pick a ride all right we got the electric eel
just happens to be the first one i came to with a 25 minute wait time but wait a minute
you're not getting a pass on this one i'm gonna put my gopro chest mount on and we're
gonna go on this together so you're not getting out of this oh geez way up there
oh geez
let's do it all right here we go guys now sit back a long time
all right i am next in the front line we'll let them go and then we'll get in all right here we go
oh geez here we go guys oh my gosh oh my gosh get ready for a shocking ride
oh my gosh
oh my gosh come on now
holy cow wow oh mike to try that one later i got off the ride and noticed that my camera
on here was tilted up at the sky i didn't have it uh tightened enough on there boy that was
that was a heck of a first coaster holy cow that was good let's try another one all
right manta is open it was not open the last time was that texas anyways it's open today
all right all right so these rides are a little more extreme than any of the
disney rides that i'm used to right it's a little different procedures here uh the oh
you can't have any loose clothing of any kind sunglasses hat anything in your pockets at all
i'm gonna show you the procedure you are allowed to have still a gopro on a chest
mount that's locked to your body on any of the rides which thank you for that at least let me
show you the unlocker process so there's the entrance no loose articles beyond this point
oh my gosh we're currently at a 20 minute wait time which not bad at all for that ride and
then here's the lockers which you can rent any of these lockers you get use of all of
them at all the rides it's nine bucks for four hours all right that line wasn't too bad again
going to be going up to the front row here for the best seat there's our manta oh yeah
all right hold on tight i got this tight this time hopefully we'll see oh jeez
oh it's a nice easy one yeah this is a nice easy one i like this it's a good pace
that's cool
good grief come on man
there goes that pretzel whoa come on hold on
oh that was a good ride oh geez
wow
yes some mantas swimming around heck yeah little stingrays oh they're cool wow
you can go around the base and if they come by you can pet them that's what some people
are doing petting the top of the rays pretty cool place here so they just made an announcement that
the 1pm dolphin days has reached their capacity level so we're all getting kicked out of line
and it's still a half hour away from starting so i guess i'm just going to sit on the curb drink my
beer and think about the dolphins instead i guess you got to get here an hour early sucks because
they've canceled a lot of the shows this season there's not much to see so you got everybody
flock into the view that are open and now there's seating capacity limits
we do have some sea lions here showing off for us talking to people
i like the sc lines though we have those back home in future sound
okay so it's like sea world's version of uh the rapids cali river rapids at disney and people
aren't wearing rain jackets or anything it's warm sunny they don't look too wet right let's try it
all right we made it up here i'm going to go with shorts and a t-shirt
my friends here are wearing jackets so we'll see how this works out
you might get wet you might get wet i'm going to pick that semi-dry seat right there all
right we're getting started told my guests they might be on youtube so they might check it out
later let me love you guys now i'm the typical black girl actually i'm gonna get my hair wet
oh we got we got the dry one we got the dry one here here comes our first rapid that wasn't so bad
i'm still dry i'm still dry
there is zero percent chance of making it through this
okay all right all right
that's cool we just came through an actual shipwreck right there too
nice now i got some time to dry off let's go get a beer and something to eat and if you
didn't make it out as dry as i did they do have dryers here you can pay six dollars for a dryer
or buy a 40 towel with the seaworld logo on it yeah that was fun i might do that again before
i leave in fact i'm gonna have a two o'clock lunch here and get something here from the sos shipwreck
sometimes i have gourmet steak sometimes i go for the kids menu get some comfort food
chicken nuggets french fries and some mac and cheese just depends i'm
not doing everything wrong i'm just doing things differently than you do that's okay
yeah i'm about uh 45 minutes early for the orca encounter and it's already crazy busy
i would otherwise say seaworld is back to a normal state you know no masks
required anywhere but they are clicking away all the people coming into these
little uh shows so we're filling up but like i said 45 minutes
until the orca encounter can you see him chilling back there waiting to come on stage
reminds me of uh free willy with the curved dorsal fin that's how you know they're in captivity
in fact there are at least 10 types or eco types of killer whales
there's nothing like seeing a killer up close it camouflages the outline of their bodies in the
water making it easier for them to surprise and catch their prey blending with the light above
giving them the perfect camouflage even the location of their eyes works their advantage
it looks like they're located in that light oval eye patch but that's a visual distraction
the killer whales engine propelling them at speeds of almost 30 miles per hour
whistles
and
i had a special surprise for you
those killer whales were really awesome what beautiful mammals i don't have popcorn buckets
here at sea world like disney so it's kind of just plain ordinary looking popcorn stuff
anyway one more chance to check out uh dolphin days here in about an hour so
again i'm gonna head over there pretty soon here about 45 minutes early try to get a seat in there
then it's gonna get dark and then there's some mardi gras live shows and stuff and see if any
more rides i gotta hit i had to put on my hoodie here because it's getting a little colder out here
the line for electric eel is still only 25 minutes i'm going to try this again i like that one more
than manta and i want to try to get this a little tighter on my chest so that you can actually
see the ride with me so i'll go do that one more time and to be clear that's gonna be it
for rides unless i wanted to do the really baby kids rides that's all that's open today there is
a lot closed at sea world today nope got there and they changed it to a 75 minute wait i want
to go check out the dolphins so i don't want to miss that seriously we still have 40 minutes left
they're forming one line for people who have a spouse in there saving their seat for them
otherwise that's my only complaint about seaworld and i really don't have a whole lot of complaints
but the shows really difficult to get in and see any of the live shows here unless that's all you
want to do and i wanted to ride some rides hey wait i see some pink through here actually they
look very orange their natural color does not look very pink for these pink flamingos
oh they are such cool birds though i love them that's awesome you guys thirsty were you thirsty
okay all right let's go check out the uh crab and octopuses octopi yeah there's a starfish there
that's a big crab holy cow what found a frozen margarita with an edible mango straw on the way
because that's probably a good idea before a crazy upside down coaster that is freaking delicious you
wouldn't like it well crumb now it's 90 minutes i'm determined though and determined all right
take two hold her steady now all right round two please lift up on the comfort collar and
step over the purple bar all right here we go let's hold that margarita down three two one
oh yeah oh yeah oh
yeah wow
one of the best rides i've ever been on it's kind of similar to mr freeze at six flags
except way way better is very very unique that's my favorite ride i'm gonna definitely go see if i
can find a magnet that says something about the electric eel that was a shocking ride
see what i did there no no electric eel magnets but i did go in there and pick out my sea world
magnet it's got the orca killer whale which i guess that was my favorite part of the day
if not for that ride i liked seeing the uh show with the orca whale so that's my magnet
i'm gonna sit here and uh enjoy a little bit more of my popcorn let my head rest from the spinning
and everything and then i'm gonna be leaving the park before the fireworks because we still got
three hours and 20 minutes until park close and fireworks and i don't see anything else
to really do there's no more shows or rides that i want to go on that i haven't been on so
i'm gonna call it quits i would have liked to have seen two other shows today other than that
had a good day a lot of fun so i must have looked at 15 20 different stores throughout the park on
the way out literally the last park like the last call oh you didn't buy anything stop in
here after you exit the park and go in here and buy something i walked through there just for
fun and guys i literally found one of their last remaining electric eel 3d magnets for the ride
very very strange so i got two magnets from sea world and if you ever come here even though i
didn't get to ride four other good ones um the electric eel was a lot of fun so
this should be cleared down by now got me one last hot delicious beverage for the road
and good checks out all right we had about 45 minutes back to the rv and see those kitties
what a fun day dad had opie i missed you him's laying on my my dirty shirts
and terra bear over here i missed you you would have loved the manta rays and the baby spotted
shark you guys would have been great friends you would have loved the rapid ride yeah that would
have been right up to kitties out sorry there's no kiddies allowed guys what a fun day so uh more
