Guests report no communication, fueling refund demands and renewed doubts about the event’s quality.
Overview
- Attendees say the Halloween event, advertised to run until midnight, shut down around 10:30 p.m. with operations ceasing without warning.
- Guests reported lights coming on, music stopping, scare actors leaving, and no announcements or app alerts to explain the closure.
- Long lines formed at Guest Services as visitors sought answers or refunds, with some reporting waits of nearly an hour.
- By the following morning, SeaWorld had issued no official explanation and its website still listed standard event hours.
- This season had already drawn complaints about reduced offerings, and the park now turns to its Christmas Celebration scheduled to begin November 7.
