And for anyone planning on purchasing the Preschool Card, there are some new additions to each theme park to look forward to this year.

The world's tallest and fastest "screamin' swing" ride is set to open at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in spring 2023.

There will also be an all-new taproom that will serve guests a variety of classic cocktails, frozen beverages, small bites and more. Spring Taproom is set to replace Garden Gate Café in early January.

Over in Orlando, SeaWorld is planning on opening "The Surf Coaster" which will have guests ride the waves as they shoot 110 feet in the air on this first-of-its-kind coaster. An "inventive harness" will keep you secure while this extreme thrill ride takes you up to 60 miles per hour. 

The coaster is set to launch in spring 2023.
