Worlds of Discovery Theme Parks in Florida
Launches new Ticket Menu Encompassing Five Distinct Adventures
Incentives for Guests Purchasing Multiple Parks and in Advance
The five Worlds of Discovery parks in Florida – SeaWorld Orlando, Discovery Cove, the new Aquatica (opening March 2008), Busch Gardens Tampa Bay and Adventure Island -- today announced a new ticket menu that offers guests adventures that can be found nowhere else in the world, along with tremendous value on multi-park tickets, as well as additional savings when they are purchased in advance.
The new tickets are available today, November 9, 2007.
MORE PARKS EQUAL MORE VALUE
With the opening of Aquatica, SeaWorld’s waterpark, in March 2008, guests will be able to create customized vacations with five parks in Florida – and interact with five natural worlds.
The more parks a guest adds, the greater the value. For example, a two-park ticket that combines both SeaWorld and Aquatica will be available for $89.95 – a savings of $16.95 per person compared to when purchased separately. A three-park ticket that includes SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens is $134.95 – a savings of $36.90 per person.
“This is an exciting time for our company as we continue to grow, drive innovation and create compelling reasons for guests to visit Central Florida,” said Joe Couceiro, corporate vice president and chief marketing officer for parent company Busch Entertainment Corporation. “When Aquatica, a park that only SeaWorld could create, opens in 2008, it establishes a portfolio of five parks in Florida, together offering five very different worlds.”
ULTIMATE VALUE AND BENEFITS WITH ADVANCE PURCHASE
For the ultimate flexibility and affordability in a Central Florida vacation, the parks offer special savings and benefits for guests who purchase tickets in advance and on-line.
Guests who plan ahead and purchase at least seven days in advance receive:
Adult tickets at kid’s prices on single-park and multi-park tickets
Unlimited admission flexibility through length of stay on all multi-park tickets
Round-trip transportation between Orlando and Busch Gardens
E-tickets that can be printed at home, offering fast, easy entry into the parks
For the ultimate adventure, these guests can also purchase a package that includes admission to the all-inclusive oasis, Discovery Cove, in addition to SeaWorld, Aquatica and Busch Gardens. When purchased online, 100 days in advance, this package price is offered at a 10 percent savings off retail.
FLORIDA RESIDENTS “PAY FOR A DAY”
For Florida residents who want a value unmatched by any other theme park, the “Pay for a Day” offer allows residents a calendar year of unlimited admission to either SeaWorld or Busch Gardens for the price of a single-day ticket. The “Pay for a Day” offer will be available starting November 26, and will be the same as a single-day admission of $67.95 at SeaWorld and $64.95 at Busch Gardens.
”We recognize that Florida residents expect, and deserve, a value like none other,” said Couceiro. “Pay For A Day is, hands down, the best family entertainment offer for Floridians, and shows how much we appreciate our neighbors.”
The Worlds of Discovery parks include SeaWorld parks in Orlando, San Diego and San Antonio; Busch Gardens Africa and Adventure Island in Tampa Bay and Busch Gardens Europe and Water Country USA in Williamsburg, Va.; Discovery Cove in Orlando; and Sesame Place near Philadelphia. Aquatica, SeaWorld’s waterpark, is under construction in Orlando and is scheduled to open next spring.
