How long are the lines at SeaWorld Orlando?
SeaWorld is generally less crowded than Disney or Universal, but its coasters still build long lines. On Saturdays and in summer, waits of 40-60 minutes or more for the headline rides are common. On a quiet weekday, many rides are close to walk-on for the first hour or two.
