Busch Gardens Tampa Bay recently debuted an in-park text messaging campaign sure to help you make the most of your next visit to the park.

Visitors to SeaWorld Orlando can now find out what it's like to spin, glide, skim and fly like a giant ray when they experience the only flying roller coaster of its kind in the world - Manta. In addition to enjoying the thrill ride, guests also find themselves surrounded by the beauty and mystique of Manta's underwater elements, including 10 stunning and uniquely configured aquariums.

We love all the SeaWorld photos that have been submitted to our Web site and posted on our Facebook fan pages. We're now taking that to a new level.

Two orphaned California sea otters, rescued as pups nearly three years ago, continue to thrive at SeaWorld San Diego. Abby arrived at SeaWorld in July 2007 and Ellie was brought to the park in November 2007. Both pups were only days old when abandoned by their mothers along the coast in Northern California.
