TikTok user @tasnimalatout shared a video showing “annoying” teenagers harassing a mime – named by the user as “Tom the Mime” – at the marine theme park.
@tasnimalatout That’s not nice and not funny #fyp #viral #lawviews #seaworldorlando #seaworldmime
After a female teenager purposefully walks into the mime, the rest of the group begins to crowd him before mimicking his actions. As the mime grows frustrated, they continue to follow him around until he grabs his belongings and walks out of the stadium.
In the caption, @tasnimalatout adds that this kind of behavior is “not nice and not funny.” The video has since racked up over 15 million views and 800,000 likes, with other TikTokers chiming in to condemn the teenagers’ behavior.

One user wrote: “Hope their parents are proud, he’s doing his job he doesn’t assault anyone while doing it..should of gave them a slap though.”
Another agreed, claiming: “I’m glad he walked away. They would’ve kept egging on to get some kind of response. Protect yourself first. So disappointing of these teens.”

Teenagers Wreak Havoc at Theme Parks
The past few years have seen a string of incidents involving teenagers at theme parks. In April 2023, a group of over 150 teenagers got caught up in a brawl at Worlds of Fun. Last October, teens were accused of beating a Six Flags ride operator, while guests have complained about teenage behavior on multiple occasions at Walt Disney World Resort.
Six Flags properties have also enacted varying chaperone policies, with guests under certain ages generally required to attend with an adult parkgoer aged 21 or over for the duration of their visit.
Also in Orlando, teenager meetups have led to Aquatica going into lockdown in 2025 and 2024. Last year’s incident saw young guests engaging in a mass brawl. Earlier this year, it was also reported that teenagers were removed from SeaWorld Orlando after drinking to excess while underage during their prom at the theme park.
Inside the Magic reached out to SeaWorld for comment but did not hear back by the time of publication.
What can theme parks like SeaWorld do to curb bad behavior from teenagers?
