Earlier this year, Busch Gardens Tampa announced their new text messaging service, which would enable guests to have ride wait times, special offers, and "did-you-know-facts" about the park sent right to their cell phones. Guests "love this level of service and how it enhances their park experience", said Jim Dean, the general manger of Busch Gardens.
Why not bring something so useful and informative to it's sister park next door in Orlando?
When it made it's way over to Seaworld, only show times and select information was available via text, which is slightly different from the service Busch Gardens offers. Busch Gardens offers ride wait times, special offers, and "did you know" facts.
Seaworld's text messaging service has evolved by now offering wait times via text messaging. To check wait times at Seaworld, simply text the word "Manta" to 69050 and wait times will be texted to you. Because this is not an opt-in service, to check wait times, just re-send "Manta" to get updated wait times.
Seaworld does not opt for enrollment into their service or removing your phone number after the park closes or if you choose to opt out. It's a one time service, rather than sending you stuff through out the day.
