SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando have added another round of free bonus guest tickets: two per Pass Member and one per Fun Card holder, claimable October 19 to 31 and good through October 31. SeaWorld Pass Members and Fun Card holders also get an extra $10 in SeaWorld Bucks from October 19 to 25.
A new perk on both parks' October Pass Member pages gives each Annual Pass Member two free bonus guest tickets, redeemable October 12 to 18. Fun Card holders get one, and SeaWorld added a $42.99 Howl-O-Scream ticket for Pass Members.
SeaWorld Orlando and Aquatica Orlando each now list a free bonus guest ticket in their October Pass Member perks, flagged as just added in posts dated October 1. Each is good for one single-day admission any day through October 31, and the Pass Member has to be there too.
SeaWorld Orlando's October Pass Member perks include a free Dolphin Encounter for the earliest Pass Members to register at Dolphin Cove each Monday to Thursday, a free Quick Queue for October 1 to 5, and a second shot at the $39.99 Howl-O-Scream Any Night Ticket through October 4.
SeaWorld's college deal landing page was updated at 11:13 this morning and now reads "as low as $32." The 2025 season version read "as low as $30 each (4-pack)" and its published terms made the ticket good only on Thursdays and Sundays. Neither line survives in the landing page disclaimer, but the offer page behind it shows what $32 actually buys: an Any Night College Ticket 4-pack with a minimum purchase of four and blockout dates on every Friday and Saturday of the season, good on 10 of the 26 event nights. Student tickets with no minimum are $47.99 or $52.99.
WIRED published a feature on Just One More Chapter this morning carrying what appears to be the first on the record interview with the zone's creator, SeaWorld Orlando art director Jessie Kinsey. She wrote the giant book's text herself, set its story in a crumbling cathedral in a town run by the wealthy Blackthorns, and says the viral attention has given Howl-O-Scream its biggest month in its six year run.
