In 2006, SeaWorld Orlando added three new family rides for children to Shamu’s Happy Harbor, the Shamu Express, a killer whale-themed roller coaster; Jazzy Jellies, a jellyfish-themed samba tower ride; and Swishy Fishies, a waterspout-themed teacup ride as well as four stories of nets and tunnels, a huge sand box, and a playful pirate ship.
In the following year, the authority announced plans to add a sea-based carousel and two other family rides in the Shamu's Happy Harbour and expanded the area to four acres.[4] and the carousel was opened to the public in summer.[5] It was manufactured by Chance Rides, an American-based roller coaster and amusement ride manufacturing company. The two other rides were Ocean Commotion, a fanta sea themed 19-foot tug boat and the Flying Fiddler, a giant, bright-red fiddler crab that move, fills its belly with 12 children and adults and lifts them to more than 20 feet in the air.
