Park News - (8/8/2026) Howl-O-Scream returns to SeaWorld San Antonio for its 25th season starting Sept. 11th. A general preview as well as preview videos of two new haunts coming this season, Dead Wreckoning and Witch of the Woods can be seen below.
(7/31/2026) The SeaWorld parks are getting in on the IP bandwagon this year and will bring a “I Know What You Did Last Summer: The Final Catch” theme haunted house to the Howl-O-Scream events taking place at SeaWorld Orlando, San Diego and San Antonio this year. Themed to the famous Sony Pictures horror series, the haunted house will be based on the first installment, bringing the 1997 classic to life.
“Guests will wander through horrifying recreations of several unforgettable movie scenes and into the events that unfold during the original Southport massacre. The movie, and the haunted houses, tell the story of a group of friends who desperately attempt to hide a deadly accident, but their shared secret awakens a killer determined to make them pay. Now, SeaWorld guests will become part of that terrifying story.” (5/13/2026) A new aerial drone show has now been announced for SeaWorld San Antonio called Illuminight Drone Finale. Look for this as part of this summer’s Electric Ocean celebration. According to Blooloop, this summer will be the first time all three of the SeaWorld parks in the US will be offering drone shows over the summer.

(11/6/2025) I overlooked the official announcement of the new family inverted coaster coming to SeaWorld San Antonio in 2026. It will be called Barracuda Strike, and like the two other family inverted coasters we’ve seen the chain add to the Busch Gardens parks, this will also be from B&M.
(9/15/2025) Looks like the rumored B&M Family Inverted coaster for SeaWorld San Antonio can now be confirmed for 2026. Pictures of track (grey) and support pieces (yellow) already on site at the park have been posted on social media.
(6/18/2025) According to the local news a new $8.9 million roller coaster project is coming to SeaWorld San Antonio for the 2026 season. Filing found say that the new ride will be installed somewhere between Steel Eel and Wave Breaker, near the Currents retail shop and Dolphin Dive kids ride. Given the trend seen at other parks in the chain, this seems to be yet another B&M Family Inverted coaster, like Phoenix Rising in Busch Gardens Tampa and the new Big Bad Wolf: The Wolf’s Revenge that just opened in Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
