Sunny Day Carousel (formerly Sea Carousel) is a Sesame Street themed carousel ride located in Sesame Street Land at SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida, United States.[1] Manufactured by Chance Rides, riders board colorful horses and float up and down as the carousel revolves. The ride opened to the public as Sea Carousel opened in 2007.[2]

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 in the Shamu's Happy Harbour and expanded the area to four acres.[2] and the carousel was opened to the public in summer.[3] It was manufactured by Chance Rides, an American-based roller coaster and amusement ride manufacturing company.
When Shamu's Happy Harbor was rethemed into Sesame Street Land in 2019, the attraction remained unchanged, until it was changed to the Sunny Day Carousel, which opened on November 24, 2021. The sea animals on the ride were replaced by Muppet-style colorful horses.[4][5]
