A new separately-ticketed event at SeaWorld Orlando will offer after-hours access to seven of the park’s roller coasters without long wait times. 

The event, called Coasters After Dark – Christmas Edition, will have a limited capacity, meaning lines are likely to be shorter for the seven coasters that will be open: Mako, Manta, Kraken, Pipeline, Journey to Atlantis, Penguin Trek and Ice Breaker.

If you want a break from the coasters, the event will also offer complimentary popcorn at three locations inside the park — Manta Market, High Seas Market and Glacier Bar  — as well as some special holiday-themed food and beverage options. 

Event tickets will start at $50. Here are the dates and times for the six event nights:

8:00 p.m. – 11:00 p.m.

  • Nov. 8
  • Nov.9
  • Nov. 15

9:00 p.m. – 12:00 a.m.

  • Nov. 22
  • Dec. 6
  • Dec. 13

Admission to the event is not included with annual passes. Guests with event tickets will be able to enter SeaWorld Orlando one hour before the event begins.
