I think SeaWorld is aware that they can’t really compete with Disney directly, so they’ve gone for a market that is nonexistent in Orlando, the thrill park. Right now they’re outbuilding every other park company in regards to coasters, and seem to be aiming to continue that for the next few years. High thrill coasters paired with their animal shows provide enough of a balance to draw a spectrum of crowds.
I wouldn't necessarily say there is a nonexistent thrill park market in Orlando. Fun Spot USA offers some thrill rides at a budget friendly price. But, clearly they don't have the financial strength of SeaWorld and can't offer their magnitude of thrill rides.
