SeaWorld San Antonio is an indoor, Shamwari-themed water park and marine-life park in the Westover Hills District, San Antonio, Texas. There are two different buildings that house this theme park – the former SeaWorld Park and the latter Six Flags Hurricane Harbor.
The former SeaWorld closed in 1998, while the latter remains operational. The original SeaWorld was established in 1969 by SeaWorld Incorporated as an innovative theme park featuring a marine life park and aquatic zoo.
The latter is the biggest attraction of the SeaWorld franchise with around nine rides including the largest roller coaster in the world.

The majority of SeaWorld’s guests are seen at the attractions within the park and those visiting other attractions outside the theme park tend to spend most of their time in the water. With this being said, this article will focus on all things pertaining to SeaWorld San Antonio and it’s rides.
