I don’t even know what to say

(I’m assuming this is from SeaWorld Orlando)

Well that's simply complete negligence. Urinals shouldn't be growing trees in them. That's likely weeks of not being cleaned.

People who don't go to Florida much legitimately have no idea how bad the United Parks properties down there have become. Each and every visit they find new ways to disappoint me. Given how great these parks were 15 years ago, the fall from grace is truly astonishing to have witnessed in real time. Can't imagine these properties in another 15 years run like this. 😔

How much has declined since last Christmas? That was the last time I was there. I've been considering going this holiday, but this is honestly making me reconsider. So sad, the Florida parks used to be so incredible.

I would skip it. We're in Florida 4x-5x a year and used to go every trip. We just got back Tuesday and we skipped Sea World Christmas. We did Discovery Cove but, again, disappointed in the cleanliness of the park, not good food and how bad the general upkeep has fallen.
It's had to justify the time and cost there and we get a bed experience.

Went this past August and I had a blast. I'm still going to support all theme parks regardless of how bad the upkeep may be. The theme park industry needs our support more than ever right now, especially with how much they're struggling with this economy crisis and rising costs put on them.

They may *need* our support but do they DESERVE it? Depends on how well they’re running their park. In SeaWorld’s case, it comes down to the fact they pay their employees next to nothing, the hours are either all the hours on the planet or none, and a lot of management that doesn’t give two shits about their employees.

Accountability is a huge issue at SWO, and it starts with management. If management isn’t holding themselves accountable, there’s no way they’re holding their employees accountable to keep their park quality up to an acceptable standard.

For Seaworld to deserve our support, they first need to increase their pay (for the love of god they’re one of the lowest paying employers in central Florida!), overhaul management, make hours for their employees fairer, and hold everyone to a higher standard from the get go.

I still go here and there because I’m local and I love me a good mako marathon, but otherwise? They don’t get a dime out of me (which is $0 to begin with).

To each their own. I'm still going to go and support them.

You jest but some form of this being implemented would actually be a good thing in my opinion. Too many of them clogging up midways and most of their users don’t know what they’re doing

I forget where I was, but they had a “lane” painted on the pathways for these and the staff was hardcore about getting on people who went outside of it.

Way to twist my words. I think you know perfectly well that’s not what I’m saying, and I’m certain that you (like everyone else) has been frustrated by the congestion caused by massive and unnecessary strollers, and scooter users who drive like it’s their first day on earth. There are 100% solutions to this problem
