SeaWold Orlando: 2015- New Sea Lion Show, Clyde and Seamore: Sea Lion High 2016- Refurbish Journey to Atlantis, theme Kraken better by putting in artificial rocks, some mist effects and replace the fake ugly Kraken outside with a new one, possibly add a cave with some project fog effects, falcons fury paint job treatment to some areas of the track(the loop, areas near the entrance) 2017- Refurbish Wild Arctic into a Falcons Treehouse Suspended theater (would be hella awesome!) [youtu_be]http://youtu.be/16GWKTo_jW8[/youtu_be] 2018- Redo park entrance into something similar to this and mix it with Explorer's Reef elements like touch pools ect. 2019- New Shamu Show, Blue World Project opens at Orlando 2020- New Turtle Trek animation, modernization of Shark Encounter

No SeaWorld?

I agree, I think it's time that small pond gets filled in. Plus, that would also help to further balance out the Shamu/Wild Arctic side of the park.

First peak at the new Sea Lion habitat.

There's no way they are removing Happy Harbor, Wild Arctic or Bayside Stadium. Harbor and Arctic are in front of the stadium entrance. Bayside is way too far from the Stadium. My guess is that E pool will be expanded backwards and towards the bottom of the image, possibly D pool being removed or placed somewhere else.

They are probably going to be taking one of the existing pools and transforming it. I don't exactly know which one, while the dine with Shamu tank would seem like the obvious choice.. they just redid that a few years ago. There is another tank underneath an awning with quite a bit of room behind it. I'm not sure though, we just have to wait and see.

Just confirmed San Antonio will finally be getting the much needed love on the SeaWorld side of the park. - A new Sea Lion show - New Sea Lion habitat (MUCH NEEDED) - New coastal themed dolphin habitat (probably like Dolphin cove at SWO and SWSD) They also claim there will be new ways to interact with the dolphins. - New Restaurants Waiting on the new concept arts!

I'm in the opposite camp actually, I'm actually enthused that there was any rise in attendance(in the second quarter). This whole movement should pass over in the coming years. Shares may be down by a lot, but they will definitely rise as long as there isn't as much negative press and good announcements to follow. As a big SW fan, I'm ecstatic to hear about all these announcements that we've got coming. I'm not quite sure exactly what these big plans are that the SeaWorld podcast is referring to, as I don't know exactly what it could be. I know for a fact that they will announce their new Sea Lion show. I suspect a potential refurbishment of Wild Arctic, which is long needed. A suspended theater would work perfectly. Kinda like Soarin at Epcot. It definately is a possible refurbishment plan given Europe in the Air at BGW and SeaWorld's close ties with Falcon Treehouse. However, it would probably be hard to market considering the two attractions would be pretty similar and within such close proximity. The only possible things I could think of are refurbishing Journey to Atlantis. Blue Horizons is getting pretty old too(9 years strong!), I heard one of the employees say that it is the best rated show in the park so that means it probably be around for as long as the Clyde and Seamore show that just left had been. Aquatica definitely has some potential for expansion. I would like to see something like Stingray falls at Aquatica SA in that park, especially considering the two current family tube rides are kinda eh and tucked away in the back. Some completely unique water attraction that combines animals and thrills would be awesome since Ihu's Breakaway Falls doesn't feature any animals as far as I could tell. Lastly, Discovery Cove will probably not get anything because they got a few expansions just a couple years ago even though in my opinion, the park does just need one more attraction.
