I attended SeaWorld’s “Waves of the Future” expansion announcement, which they revealed details of their upcoming new attractions, Turtle Trek, Freshwater Oasis, and Antarctica. I’m looking forward to the latter the most, though details are sketchy at this point. But the media event itself was quite entertaining and fun, with SeaWorld putting on a great show set in multiple rooms within the Ports of Call area of the park. The first room “transported” us (via projections and lighting) to a tropical paradise and underwater. Then we were surprised to move through a bright blue tunnel into a room filled with ice sculptures and a few penguins for the Antarctica announcement. It’s always fun to see penguins up close and I suspect the new ride for Antarctica will feature these flightless birds in a fun new way when it opens in 2013.
