SeaWorld San Antonio opens their 2020 season on Saturday, February 22, and there are plenty of reasons to be excited. There will be groundbreaking new rides and attractions for the whole family, as well as festivals, parades and other fun events throughout the year.

On top of the established four unique coaster experiences at SeaWorld, thrill-seekers will now be able to enjoy the tallest, longest and fastest wooden rollercoaster in Texas. The record-breaking Texas Stingray reaches a top speed of 55mph and includes a breathtaking hundred-foot drop.

Special events over the 2020 season include two Sesame Street Kids’ Weekends in March, where children can enjoy hands-on activities and photo opportunities with the famous furry characters. There will also be several Sesame Street-themed party parades during the summer.

The Seven Seas Food Festival occurs during weekends from April 3 to May 25 and will feature a new German realm for guests to enjoy among all the other cuisine, culture and music.

Other exciting attractions include an impressive ski stunt show and a global beer festival, plus special Halloween and Christmas celebrations. There is also the behind-the-scenes Inside Look in November, where guests can meet animal experts while visiting the animal care facilities that are not open to the public.
