To commemorate this milestone, the park is inviting guests to participate in a daring challenge: ride the Steel Eel 25 times in a single day.
The Steel Eel, a towering hypercoaster that has dominated the San Antonio skyline since its debut in 1999, stands as a testament to thrills and innovation in amusement park rides.

Additionally, all visitors to SeaWorld San Antonio on this day will be treated to complimentary cookies, cooling towels adorned with the park’s 60th Anniversary logo, and a festive atmosphere with ambassadors cheering on riders.
The Steel Eel, towering at 15 stories tall and reaching speeds of up to 65 miles per hour, offers riders an unforgettable experience with its signature “camelback humps” that provide breathtaking views and heart-pounding moments.
For guests looking to take part in the anniversary festivities, SeaWorld San Antonio will open its gates at 10:30 AM on July 25th, allowing ample time for thrill-seekers to conquer the Steel Eel challenge before the park closes at 9 PM.
