NEW Change
SeaWorld Orlando has recently updated their safety guidelines, which has impacted many visitors. In a recent safety update, Rollator walkers with seats are no longer permitted at SeaWorld Orlando!
Rollator walkers with seats are no longer permitted at SeaWorld Orlando.
The new guideline reads:
"Rollator walkers with seats on them are not permitted at SeaWorld Orlando. Alternative personal transportation options, including standard wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECVs), are available. Walkers without a seat are permitted."
What Does This Mean To You?
Visitors who use a Rollator with a seat will no longer be allowed to bring this assistive device into the park. Guests will need to bring a different assistive device or rent a wheelchair or Electric Convenience Vehicles. Per Fox 35 Orlando a SeaWorld Spokesperson shared:
"We are committed to providing a safe, accessible, and inclusive experience for our guests and Ambassadors. To support this, we have recently updated our guidance regarding rollator and wheeled walkers with seats. These devices can pose a safety concern if not used in accordance with manufacturer requirements, which strictly prohibit using them as a wheelchair."
