Attendance at SeaWorld Entertainment parks continued its more than year-long upward streak, with visitation growing to more than 3.3 million during the first quarter of 2019 — an increase of nearly 4 percent over the same time period a year earlier, the company reported Tuesday. While the growth rate was significantly less than the 15 percent jump in visitation recorded during the first quarter of 2018, it marks the fifth consecutive quarter of attendance gains for the Orlando-based theme park company. Likewise, revenue was also up, increasing 1.6 percent to $220.6 million. The gains came despite unfavorable weather that dampened visitation at some SeaWorld parks and an earlier spring break in some of its markets.
