Bayside Skyride

Best ride in the park!
A gorgeous view of Mission Bay and the park.
Great for lovers and family’s!

A must do at Sea World. The view is beautiful and very calming. Nice to get a sky view of the park, best time to go is before noon or late afternoon.

My 5 yr old begged to go on it a second time– he loved the views and I loved the peaceful ride just as much as he did.

The Bayside Skyride is one of the features of Sea World we absolutely must do on every visit. It’s so calming. Try to catch a ride during the day AND the night and if you can, try to take the night trip during the fireworks show. Such an amazing view!

It’s in Sea World, San Diego.
It’s located Northwest side of the park, next to the theater of «Madagascar Live!». It’s kinda tucked away, yet you should check it out! It’s blue gondola, so hard to miss.
Length: 6 minutes
Maximum capacity: 3 adults and 1 child (but depending on your size, too ;p)
Restriction: Children under 56″ in height must be accompanied by a supervising companion 14 years or older.
Wait time: It could be long, but you should try

It’s pretty cool gondola ride to enjoy the views of Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
You can even oversee the backside of Sea World stadium. It doesn’t swing, so it’s not scary. It moves fairly quickly for 6 minute round trip. I’m afraid of height and hate an elevator (hate the feeling when it goes down ;(), but I did enjoy it. It’s better than the one at Disneyland used to have long time ago…

Ride like this makes me think «Sea World is cool and full of fun stuff». The ride is tucked away and could be under rated, but it’s very enjoyable. You should try this!

The Sea World Bayside Skyride is a gondola ride tucked away in the Northwest corner of the park (behind the Madagascar Live! Operation: Vacation attraction) that travels over Mission Bay for an approximate 6-​minute round-​trip ride. The ride drifts over the calm and peaceful Mission Bay on two 80 foot towers bringing you to the other side then whirling you around to travel back over Mission Bay to the park. You may want to wear a jacket because it can get pretty chilly during the Fall and Winter season.
Our only frustration was that the line quickly grew immensely long in a short amount of time due to the fact that many of the gondolas were empty and seemingly out of service.
The ride itself still gets a high rating for the breathtaking views of the open ocean and horizon alone. Hopefully the next time they will be completely up and running, which would move the line along much more efficiently.
