Seaworld and Aquatica:How to Travel


Seaworld Orlando is one of the famous and must visit tourist attraction in Orlando. It has two  parks Seaworld and Island of Aquatica which are side by side. If you are planning to visit there are numerous travel options that are possible to have from Airport. Let me tell you if you really want to enjoy each Shows, rides of the park you need to devote atleast 1 day each for Seaworld and Aquatica.
    1. Car rental: This could be best option available it will several hours that you might waste travelling from to and from the airport to Seaworld/Aquatica. This works best if you plan to visit other theme parks like Disney, Universal. Only problem is parking fees that you end up paying, but still it would be worth as you can spend the extra hours that you save inside the park.
   2. Taxi: Its good option saves you parking charges, but it might turn out expensive. You will get taxi from Airport. So its really convinient if you dont want to go for Car rental.

  3. Bus: Good economy option no need to worry about parking charges, but be ready to add 1 hour to your trip to and from Seaworld. Orlando is server by LYNX bus service which has good frequency. Living in Orlando without a car I have been using this option for all my travel to the theme parks and it works the best for me. Following are buses from Airport to Seaworld
                   1. Catch 111 from Airport and its last stop is SEAWORLD
                   2. If you want to go to Aquatica, just get down at SEAWORLD and they have free buses that move between SEAWORLD and Aquatica.
You can get a ticket for $2 in bus (keep the exact change, drivers won't give you change) for a trip to SEAWORLD ask for Transfer which works for 90 mins.Other Option is to take a day pass in the bus for $4.5 (keep the exact change, drivers won't give you change) and you can use it for the whole day to travel all over orlando. Check for bus routes and schedules at below LYNX site

Both parks are awesome, make sure you give enough time atleast(1 days each park) 2-3 days for SEAWORD and Aquatica to have a real fun vaccatioin. I have a annual pass and we enjoy the park at our leisure we took 5 days to cover all two parks. Some times wait for major attractions can be more than 90 to 120 mins.

Hyperloop transportation system

During a conference call on Monday, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk dished out the details of his "fifth mode" of transportation -- a lofty and innovative system that's unlike anything ever built.

Laying out his vision and answering questions on the futuristic-sounding plan, Musk sounded confident his big idea could get done.

The proposed cost for the Hyperloop transportation system, which wants to get you between San Francisco and Los Angeles in just 35 minutes, Musk says, is about $6 billion.

That sounds very cheap and fast compared with the current California high-speed rail plan, which is aiming for a 3-hour travel time for the same trip, with a current budget of $68 billion.
