As reported elsewhere, the logo sign in Port of Entry has been removed. Hopefully a new photo opportunity will be added.
Foliage has been removed and cleaned up behind the logo sign in Port of Entry, revealing previously blocked views of Manta's final turn. Fall leaves have also been added as decor.

Refurbishment at the park entrance is causing chaos. Staff are also holding up entire lines for parties that are unable to locate tickets on their phones which is unfortunate.

The site has not been touched as of mid September 2026
Permits for a new restaurant @SeaWorld Orlando were recently approved. Will be a fresh building rather than taking over an existing space. Will sit right next to the Orca Stadium in an area of the park that has seen significant development in the past 5 years.
