    Dive Dive Dive!!! A new B&M Dive Coaster you soo know that is calling my name on soo many levels so a trip to San Diego was totally what was good on this given day! So first things first Sea World what's up with the zero shade or landscaping here like whoa this ride is already getting sun beaten and it's brand new the landscaping I can understand because water is scarce in socali but at least shade the Q! I'm not letting that affect the ride experience though because it really is one of Bolliger & Mabillard's best as it's small and compact it throws all of the awesome Divr Machine elements into one quick ride like you can't go wrong with that! This coaster is just what this park needed as it's an awesome ride I just wish it was longer but I understand why as the city's height level for this area is keeping it from being any higher but either way Sea World San Diego has a winner on their hands! Overall not my favorite coaster ever but definitely an awesome ride from start to finish hopefully I'll get here again at some point to ride this awesome Dive Machine!

    My new favorite thrill ride at SeaWorld San Diego. Emperor was so fun and thrilling. I liked it more than Electric Eel right next to it. Tip, there are three rows and the back two are about 2-3 rides quicker than waiting for the front row. That's not too bad for a front row wait PLUS the front row for this ride would be really awesome. I'll do the extra wait for the front row next time. - Ride is short but fun. - Line is not shaded from the sun. More of a consideration during summer. - They have special seats for people with large chests (men and women). Last row, seats with a red buckle..

    Emperor is such a good ride, I love the corkscrews, and the barrel roll, my favorite part is the dive from 14 stories!

    Have a platinum pass so I go when I can to Sea World San Diego California. I Always have a fun…read moretime lots of animals and rides and stuff to do. Atmosphere is amazing . Yes I recommend them and will be back. Got to see a show and hang out with family for one of my Neices Birthday.

    Extremely disappointed with our experience at SeaWorld San Diego. We were only at the park for…read moreabout THREE HOURS, and during that short amount of time just to watch Baby Shark Halloween Show, our wagon was stolen from the designated stroller parking area at the Mission Bay Theater while we were watching a children's show. What makes this even more upsetting is that this happened in an area specifically filled with families and young children. You're bringing your child to a theme park to have a fun family day, and meanwhile someone had the audacity to intentionally take another family's wagon and belongings knowing very well it did not belong to them. It's honestly pathetic. Since sharing what happened, I've had multiple people message me telling me they've also had strollers or wagons stolen at SeaWorld, which makes this even more concerning. Even someone messaged me she was with her three children by herself with a newborn watching the dolphin show, and someone stole her stroller and nothing was done to help her. What has made the situation even more frustrating is the lack of follow-up afterward. I reported the wagon missing directly to security and gave them my phone number. I would expect to be contacted whether the wagon was found or not, even if it was simply an update letting me know that nothing had been turned in. When I later called trying to get a direct number for Lost & Found so I could follow up myself, I was told there really wasn't a number for me to call and check. I was directed to an online Lost & Found form, and I was even told that if I wanted to see whether my wagon had been returned, I could physically come back to SeaWorld and check for myself. What is the point of taking my phone number when I report stolen property if there is no follow-up afterward? A guest shouldn't have to repeatedly check an online form or drive back to the park just to find out whether their property was recovered. For a major family theme park where parents are expected to leave strollers and wagons in designated areas while attending shows and attractions, there needs to be a better system in place. Better monitoring, better security around stroller parking areas, and a better process for communicating with families when something like this happens. And if someone is caught intentionally stealing another family's stroller, wagon, or belongings, I believe SeaWorld should permanently ban that person AND anyone in their party who knowingly participated or helped them do it. There should be real consequences for stealing from families at a children's theme park. We were there for THREE HOURS. I never imagined I'd have to worry about someone stealing our daughter's wagon during a family day at SeaWorld. It completely put a damper on what was supposed to be a special day with her.
