    It doesn't matter what park I go to if they have a Skyride I will ride it as they very much so are some of my favorite attractions no matter what! So I do know that this attraction was closed for some time which was a bummer but it's good to see that the park has opened it again and that its providing that trip back and forth that you totally wanna enjoy! So this Skyride travels across the bay and back giving you a great view of the park and the bay which is totally awesome and just a cool little trip as you can't ever go wrong with a great view of San Diego as well as the ocean around! The price is $6 if you don't have a season pass as they get in for free I believe but you ticket is good for the entire length of the ride to and from even though you don't get off on it! Overall this is a great attraction that's sure not to be missed as you can't ever go wrong on a Skyride!

    The San Diego Zoo has a Skyride, Disneyland used to have one, and SeaWorld has their own version. This is a fun "foot resting" ride that gives you a lazy ride over Mission Bay's Perez Cove. The Bayside Skyride is a there-and-back trip with no option to exit the gondola when it lands at the West station. They'll take advantage of this entrapment by taking your picture as you make your journey back, unfortunately. Best of all, it's FREE!! Tip - Try taking the ride at night ( not always offered ) for a different experience.

    The Sea World Bayside Skyride is a gondola ride tucked away in the Northwest corner of the park (behind the Madagascar Live! Operation: Vacation attraction) that travels over Mission Bay for an approximate 6-minute round-trip ride. The ride drifts over the calm and peaceful Mission Bay on two 80 foot towers bringing you to the other side then whirling you around to travel back over Mission Bay to the park. You may want to wear a jacket because it can get pretty chilly during the Fall and Winter season. Our only frustration was that the line quickly grew immensely long in a short amount of time due to the fact that many of the gondolas were empty and seemingly out of service. The ride itself still gets a high rating for the breathtaking views of the open ocean and horizon alone. Hopefully the next time they will be completely up and running, which would move the line along much more efficiently.

    Very nice escape ride. This is your typical cable sky ride this one goes over the bay near SeaWorld so when you need a break for the park this one ride you can go on to escape the crowds and going on's in the park. The difference on this one is you don't get off on the other end you actually do a round trip so when you get to the other end they whip you around and you go back to where you started. Overall a very relaxing ride and you get see the beautiful bayside.

    - Locale Destination - It's in Sea World, San Diego. It's located Northwest side of the park, next to the theater of "Madagascar Live!". It's kinda tucked away, yet you should check it out! It's blue gondola, so hard to miss. Length: 6 minutes Maximum capacity: 3 adults and 1 child (but depending on your size, too ;p) Restriction: Children under 56" in height must be accompanied by a supervising companion 14 years or older. Wait time: It could be long, but you should try - Gluttony Expedition - It's pretty cool gondola ride to enjoy the views of Mission Bay and the Pacific Ocean. You can even oversee the backside of Sea World stadium. It doesn't swing, so it's not scary. It moves fairly quickly for 6 minute round trip. I'm afraid of height and hate an elevator (hate the feeling when it goes down ;(), but I did enjoy it. It's better than the one at Disneyland used to have long time ago... - Conqueror's Deduction - Ride like this makes me think "Sea World is cool and full of fun stuff". The ride is tucked away and could be under rated, but it's very enjoyable. You should try this!

    50 years old and running strong. Best ride in the park by far. Built by Von Roll Berne Switzerland . Ride opened on June 23 1967 and has been running safely ever since.. Ride is one of 11 Von Roll VR 101 Skyrides left in the USA. A must do at Sea World San Diego.

    My 5 yr old begged to go on it a second time- he loved the views and I loved the peaceful ride just as much as he did.
