Sea World’s “Aquatica”
From dwtickets.com:
Tweet(Note from Mark: We saw construction going full-tilt on Sea World’s new waterpark, located directly across from the Sea World entrance on International Drive. Numerous waterslides were already partially up, including what looked like five multi-colored several story slides in a twisting line. )
Sea World is finally building a water park to rival Orlandos “Big Three” of Wet N Wild, Blizzard Beach, and Typhoon Lagoon. Sea World will be making their move in the form of AQUATICA – a 59 acre water theme park that will combine up-close marine animal experiences with thrilling water slides and an enormous 80,000 square foot man-made beach. Sea World Aquatica will have 36 water slides, six sparkling pools and lagoons, and exotic marine animals and tropical flora from all over the world. Aquatica is slated to open its doors one year from now, in March of 2008. Sea World Aquatica will be highlighted by a first-of-its-kind 300-foot water slide, featuring a 42-foot drop, that will take riders in clear tubes underwater through an actual dolphin habitat.
