Seating is located at Bayside Stadium. The seats are flip-down style with backs (no teeter-tottering on a bench seat). Unlike Fantasmic, you don't have to wait in a long line before getting a seat. Simply walk over before the show starts. (Tip: make sure you choose a seat without an overhang for unobstructed fireworks viewing.) Even on a busy night, we've always been able to grab a seat just minutes before showtime. That said, arriving early allows you to participate in (or simply watch) the pre-show filled with music and dancing.
In addition to the fireworks show, SeaWorld Summer Nights includes Shamu Rocks and a nearby festival area filled with tents and booths for games, food and drink.
On a Thursday night, there wasn't much activity. Most of the employees at the games and food booths were just standing around with no customers to serve. Food options tonight seemed to be limited to soft pretzels, cotton candy and chips.
An offer unique to Summer Nights was a Beer Sampler Pass. The pass cost $25 and offered all-you-can-drink samples of beer from 6:00 PM until the festival area closed. We passed on the pass. Even with our $5 passholder discount, it didn't seem like a "deal" to us. Besides, we still had to get home and it's not cool to drink and drive.
