Date Ridden: January of 2007 Times Ridden: 1 Shamu Express is what is. Its a kiddie/family coaster that is virtually packed each time Ive visted Sea World. Can you imagine as a child, watching the Shamu show and then getting to "ride" Shamu? We had lots of fun on the ride because there were tons of kids on it and they were screaming their heads off. Ill go with my basic "family coster" rating of a 5. Will I ever ride it again? Uh no but I did get the credit after 7 consectuive rides on Kraken. No more Shamu for me but the kids love it so it serves its purpose.

as Bobfunland said, surprisingly jerky for a kiddie coaster. Did not like it at all because it was way too short and the seats were absolutely tiny, although I am pretty tall. It was a very quick lift hill though.

Shamu Express is a pretty mediocre kids coaster. I like the whale trains, but thats about all that is good regarding the ride. One lap - LAME! A jerky ride - LAME! Overall - LAME!
