Any parks decently close to an airport? [Other]
So, I recently got a job for a major US airline, and the thoosie in me wants to use this to my advantage. The plan is to fly in early, ride as many rides as possible, and fly out that night. What parks are the most practical for this? SeaWorld Orlando seemed like a good option for this; I was just struggling to find some others.
Edit: I'm putting all the suggestions up here to save with scrolling and as an easy reference for anyone having the same question. Thank you all for the suggestions. I will update when possible. Note the times are if you use a car/Uber/taxi directly from the airport. Some comments below do have good public transit help.
