 SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment is a company that has had a bit of an interesting history in the theme park industry. They have fallen under much scrutiny in the public eye in recent years due to controversies brought to light, most notably from a devastating documentary about the way they treat their animals. Due largely to this, SeaWorld had to shift their focus from live animal shows and exhibits and are now instead putting much more emphasis on big thrill rides as they slowly phase out animal shows from their parks. Since this company has only very recently begun to add many roller coasters to the SeaWorld branded parks on the chain, these parks have pretty small or modest quantities of roller coasters and most of the coasters are also relatively new. I mention this because I believe that most of these parks will not see a coaster getting removed for a very long time. However, as I have done with both the Cedar Fair and Six Flags chains, I will be taking a look at all of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment's current amusement parks, which includes the two Bush Gardens parks and Sesame Place, and I will be quickly giving my thoughts as to which coaster I think will likely be the next to get the axe at each of the six respective parks. The first park on the list is Bush Gardens Tampa. This park holds a lot of history. They currently have 10 roller coasters with Iron Guasi opening this year, and Out of all of the coasters they have, most of them are very new and very popular rides, and I know a lot of people would probably look at Scorpion, their Swarchkoff single loop coaster, and say that's definitely going to get removed next. But I'll tell you why it's not going to get removed next. They just repainted the whole thing this year, so that is not going to happen for a while. However, I think that sand serpent, which is their Mock ride's wild mouse coaster, which was formerly called Cheetah Chase and opened at 2004 at Bush Gardens Tampa, will be the next one to leave this park. This is a relocated coaster. It used to operate at Bush Gardens Williamsburg. It doesn't really seem to fit with Bush Gardens lineup whatsoever, or any of the SeaWorld parks, so I don't think this would get relocated to any of the SeaWorld parks. It just doesn't fit with their whole vibe, really. So I definitely see sand serpent getting the axe first at Bush Gardens Tampa. Coming up next we have the other Bush Gardens park, which is Bush Gardens Williamsburg, but I had a really tough time deciding on which coaster would get the axe at this park next. I boiled it down to two coasters at this park, Loch Ness Monster, which opened in 1978, and Tempesto, which is a Premier Ride Skyrocket 2 that opened in 2015 at the park. Tempesto just seems like kind of a weird fit for this park, and doesn't have a huge capacity either for as many people as this park gets. So I was kind of considering that, thinking maybe they could relocate it to one of the SeaWorld parks, but ultimately I did decide on Loch Ness Monster. This ride opened in 1978, it's an icon for the park, very well known roller coaster, and a lot of people would definitely miss this ride if it left. I do not think that Loch Ness Monster will get removed at any point in the near future, and they have given this ride some TLC over the last few years, so I think this ride has at least another good 10 years or so left in it before it gets scrapped, but ultimately I did decide on Loch Ness Monster getting removed next from Bush Gardens Williamsburg. As I head into the rest of the parks on this list, this is going to be a bit awkward talking about these, due to what I talked about earlier in the video, with a lot of these coasters being very new. Sesame Place in Langhorn, Pennsylvania, which is a kids park, and I'll just get this right out of the way right now, nothing is going to leave this park anytime soon, they only have two coasters, Oscar's Wacky Taxi is new, opened in 2018, and the other is a 1998 kiddie coaster, I don't see any reason why they would remove that though, so ultimately getting Sesame Place out of the way, we have the three SeaWorld branded parks that are in the chain left to talk about, and out of the three SeaWorld branded parks, the oldest roller coaster at all three of these parks is Great White at SeaWorld San Antonio, which only opened in 1997. It's a mirrored clone of Batman the Ride the B&M Invert model with slight modifications to the layout, but ultimately I am just going to have to tackle all of the three SeaWorld parks all at once because I'm picking Journey to Atlantis from each one of these parks. SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Antonio, and SeaWorld San Diego each have a mock ride's water coaster called Journey to Atlantis. Despite being the same model of ride and having the same name, all three of these rides are pretty different, especially the Orlando one. The first Journey to Atlantis to open is the one at SeaWorld Orlando, it opened in 1998, but it did receive some updates in 2017, and because of those updates I believe that this one will be around for quite a while. At SeaWorld San Antonio, their Journey to Atlantis opened in 2007, and at SeaWorld San Diego, their Journey to Atlantis opened in 2004, and this one was very recently retract on the second drop, and it got a repaint, and it just opened back up a few months ago, so that one is definitely not going anywhere anytime soon. So even though I pick Journey to Atlantis at the three SeaWorld parks, I don't think any of them are going anywhere for a very long time. Now something interesting, I noted that all of these rides were very different despite having the same name. SeaWorld Orlando's version looks like at least at one point it was a pretty awesome ride, it's a dark ride and water coaster, and it has lots of theming, although in the 2017 update to the ride they did remove a lot of the cool theming from the ride, and a lot of people have complained about it, so that's pretty unfortunate. They also changed some of the music and some other small things like that. The other two Journey to Atlantis rides, especially the SeaWorld San Antonio version, pale in comparison to the SeaWorld Orlando one, they just don't have nearly as much to them. They're more of just a straight up water coaster, they don't really have dark ride sections. The one in San Antonio has these weird turntables that are just really awkward, and really mess with the pacing of the ride. Like I said, this video is a lot different from the other videos I did revolving around these theme park chains and what coasters they'd be removing next. As I mentioned earlier, many of the coasters throughout the chain really aren't that old. They've only recently begun to really focus on adding large thrill rides for the most part, and I really do believe that most of these coasters will not be going anywhere anytime soon. I think maybe the exception is Sand Serpent at Busch Gardens Tampa that Mack rides Wild Mouse just because it's so out of place and it's been there for quite a while at this point, but other than that I don't really see any of these rides going anywhere in the next 10 years or so. But what do you guys think about this? Do you agree with my picks for each of these parks? And if not, which roller coasters do you think are next to get the axe at each one of SeaWorld's parks? This is always really interesting to think about. You know, we look forward to the future, we begin to speculate about what each park may get, and doing that we look at what's going to get removed in the future. So let me know if you agree with these, if not let me know why. As always, thanks for watching and feel free to subscribe if you would like to see more content like this on a weekly basis.
