Very cool ride if you aren't afraid of heights. This trolley takes you above the ocean next to SeaWorld, and the view is beautiful. It's probably a 15-20 minute ride total. The line is very easy to find and fairly quick to get through. I am personally terrified of heights, so one time was enough for me.

One of our favorite rides at SeaWorld. A nice, air-conditioned and relaxing trip 320 feet up with awsome views of the park, bay and San Diego City skyline. A great ride for families when they need to get out of the heat and sit down for about 10 minutes.

When I was there last it was pretty awesome. I believe it's 320 ft. tall, it rotates in a circle, and comes down to about 80 ft, stops rotating. You take an elevator up to that point, when it stops rotating, it lets you on, and then starts to rotate its way back up. At the top it rotates for a little while, not sure how long, and then goes back down. It had a different carriage the last time I was there in 2002. They since changed the top piece that goes up, and down, and rotates. Definitely worth going on. Pretty high and scary, but very cool. I LOVED IT!!!!!!!! So I went and looked this up online so I knew I had my facts straight so this is not my personal writings this is off the internet: SkytowerEdit Skytower is a 320-foot (98 m) Gyro tower that was built in 1968 by Sansei Yusoki.[11] The ride was refurbished in 2007 with a new capsule. The ride gives passengers a six-minute view of SeaWorld and San Diego. It rises at a rate of 150 feet per minute (46 m/min) while spinning slowly (1.02 rpm).

Its not exactly a ride, it just provides bird eye view of nearby areas. Its moves very slowly from top to bottom and vise versa. So no need to afraid of it, anybody can try it only if you are having 4/5 dollars. ( yeh it’s not included in entry tickets)
