Track SeaWorld Orlando wait times and set Ride Ready alerts for Mako, Kraken, Manta, Pipeline, Ice Breaker, and more — ride the coasters when the waits are actually worth it.

Rides worth setting alerts for

Mako

Hyper coaster • biggest thrills in the park
200 ft73 mph4,760 ft

It's the headliner. Track it so you can grab a ride when it's flowing — then go do something else when it spikes.

Fun fact: A tall, fast hyper coaster that's worth riding more than once if you can catch a lull.

Kraken

Floorless coaster • 7 inversions
153 ft65 mph7 inversions

A great 'next up' coaster when Mako is slammed. Alerts help you chain rides instead of standing still.

Fun fact: Seven inversions makes it one of the most intense loops-per-minute options in Orlando.

Manta

Flying coaster • smooth and unique
140 ft56 mph4 inversions

It's a different experience (flying position) and can swing from walk‑on to long line fast.

Fun fact: That pretzel loop hits hard — in a good way.

Pipeline: The Surf Coaster

Stand‑up surf coaster
Stand‑up styleNewer coaster

Newer rides pull lines. Set a drop alert so you can ride it without committing to the worst queue window.

Fun fact: A modern 'surf' take on stand‑up coaster riding.

Ice Breaker

Launch coaster • compact and fun
LaunchesQuick ride

Perfect filler coaster between bigger waits — and a nice 'backup alert' while you wait for Mako/Kraken dips.

Fun fact: A launch coaster that doesn't need huge height to feel punchy.

Good default alert presets

Mako
Alert when ≤ 35 min
That's usually a great value for a headliner hyper coaster.
Kraken
Alert when ≤ 30 min
Easy way to stack thrills while other rides peak.
Manta
Alert when ≤ 30 min
Flying coasters feel like a bigger win when you avoid the long queue.
Pipeline
Alert when ≤ 35 min
Newer rides: wait for a dip and jump.
Ice Breaker
Alert when ≤ 25 min
Use it as a filler ride when you're nearby.

Tip: start conservative. Once you see how your day flows, tighten thresholds so you're only getting pings worth moving for.

If you only have one day

  1. Set alerts for Mako + 2 backups (Kraken/Manta).
  2. Watch show times as 'built-in breaks' — then use alerts to fill gaps efficiently.
  3. If one coaster spikes, don't fight it. Pivot to another and come back when it dips.
  4. Use a second alert tier for a 'bonus' coaster so you always have a move.
  5. Late day: re-ride Mako if you can catch a shorter window.

FAQ

Does Ride Ready use the park's official wait times?

Ride Ready tracks posted waits and trends so you can time rides better. If a park pauses updates or has downtime, your alerts may be delayed or temporarily less accurate.

What's the fastest way to get value on a one‑day visit?

Pick 4–6 headliners, favorite them, and set a few "drop" alerts. When something dips, you pivot — that's where you claw back time without buying a line‑skip add‑on.

Is this affiliated with SeaWorld Orlando?

No. Ride Ready is an independent app.
