Today, Marriott Hotels & Resorts in Orlando announced reduced summer rates on SeaWorld & Aquatica hotel packages from $179 to promote summer travel and the Memorial Day opening of SeaWorld's new flying roller coaster thrill ride, Manta. Visitors can choose from ten of Orlando's most premier Marriott and Renaissance hotels and resorts with packages that include free child admission to SeaWorld Orlando, or a combined ticket package to SeaWorld and Aquatica.
Manta is the only ride in the world to combine up close animal experiences with head-first, face-down flying coaster thrills.

Guests will additionally receive a free Shamu plush toy at check-in along with a special SeaWorld hotel key card envelope with in-park offers, ranging from preferred parking to "ride again" passes on SeaWorld's most popular rides.
Or, guests can experience SeaWorld and Aquatica with a combined-ticket package to both theme parks. This offer includes hotel accommodations, along with the 14-day length of stay tickets at both parks.
