About

SeaWorld Orlando keeps Emperor penguins in its indoor Antarctica Realm, and the park says you can't see them anywhere else in the Western Hemisphere. Penguin Trek, the coaster that ends at a penguin habitat, takes riders from 42 inches. Mako, Kraken, Manta and Pipeline need 54, and Ice Breaker, whose 100-degree drop tips past vertical, needs 48. At Stingray Lagoon you can touch the rays.
