dewthedew Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I was on seaworlds website and stumbled upon this countdown saying seaworld has big news. They say their is going to be a press confrence on Monday March 5th. So i was wondering if anyone had the Inside scoop on this. ps: Here is the link. 4adventure.com/SWF/default.aspx
DATman Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I'll bet it's the announcement of their new water park.
Homer Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 They already announced their waterpark back in like, Summer 2005. Then again, this press conference could be the specifics of the additions. Oh, and didn't Screamscape post a picture of parts for a Rockin' Tug on site of SWF?
dewthedew Posted March 4, 2007 Author Posted March 4, 2007 One more thing I noticed is that it says it will "change seaworlds landscape" wich means it could be anything from A new section with Roller Coasters to new Flowers.
jedimaster1227 Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 A Discovery Cove expansion... Aquatica... The Rockin' Tug... A new addition to the lagoon...
cfc Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 ^^I think it will be a whole field of churros--so that kids will know where churros come from.
RctInfinity Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Whatever it is, it's going to be tomorrow, which is a good thing because I will most likely go to Seaworld for Spring Break.
jedimaster1227 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 I will be running to my computer as fast as possible after school tomorrow so that I may catch the webcast and the coming news!
BarryH Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 ^^I think it will be a whole field of churros--so that kids will know where churros come from. I think the churro field will look good behind the cyldesdales barn.
jedimaster1227 Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 ^So that is why the clydsdales have been getting fat lately...
Imhotep Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 We now have an official website regarding Aquatica! http://www.aquaticabyseaworld.com/
skylor Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Ooo. This is exciting. I love how they can make it look HUGE in the photos, but in real life.... the construction zone is as big as shamu stadium. Ultra excited though. I love waterparks. I wish there was more where I live.
jedimaster1227 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Notice how not too many people have given much of a care to this topic so far... Kidtums beats Seaworld as I expected she would!
Homer Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah well, we're still not sure Robb is KT's daddy. Only Maury Povich can figure this case out! *on topic with a serious reply* I am glad the slide pieces in Thrasher's update wasn't making Aquatica look like a Hurricane Harbor and still have the Dolphin ponds and such. It really looks like a great water park, although it still looks a little too similar to a Hurricane Harbor water park (like the one at SFGAm and SFGAdv.
alpengeist04 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 It looks like it'll be fun and unique, but we knew it was coming. That's probably the reason for the lack of interest today.
jedimaster1227 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Yeah well, we're still not sure Robb is KT's daddy. Only Maury Povich can figure this case out! This is some Jerry Springer worthy stuff! Somebody call Dr. Phil! But on a serous note, the park looks interesting, but as someone who has lived in Orlando and been to every water park in the area, I can say that I am skeptical about this park. Here are my hopes for Aquatica: 1. The wave pools will not at any point become a focal point of the park (leading for comparisons between Aquatica and Typhoon Lagoon). 2. There are more than just two slides that go through the different habitats, as these slides will have horrible lines to begin with. Considering that most of these slides depict a 1-2 rider per release rate, they will be like all other parks in that they have a low rider per hour capacity rate. 3. We get some kind of water coaster (in the vein of Deluge or Crush n' Gusher) 4. At least one slide with a somewhat steep incline (in the vein of The Bomb Bay or Der Stuka at Wet n' Wild Orlando) These are just some hopes I have for the park, though I expect only one or two of them to actually happen...
BarryH Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 This is pretty cool. It looks like a cross between Discovery Cove and a water park. I was hoping for the churro field. Darn, maybe next year.
BrownStreak Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I must say despite other breaking news (congrats) I was abit surpirsed that an official announcement of a new park wasn't on the main page...
dandaman Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I realize the underwater slides would have astronomical waits... but lord, that would be one helluvan experience.
coastermaniac1 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 The underwater slides look awesome, especially with the dolphins etc. Looks like it will be a great waterpark and I will go to it if I ever go to Orlando.
dewthedew Posted March 6, 2007 Author Posted March 6, 2007 But on a serous note, the park looks interesting, but as someone who has lived in Orlando and been to every water park in the area, I can say that I am skeptical about this park I could not agree with you more! I too live in Florida and have pretty much been to every water park here. Also is this park going to be like six flags were it is included in your parks admission or were it is a seperate cost?
jedimaster1227 Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 ^This will be a seperate ticketed park, much like Adventure Island is for Busch Gardens, though they will offer ticket deals for the main park and the water park (and possibly even Discovery Cove) after the new park has been open for a while. I don't expect any deals to come within the first year of operation of the park...
ECZenith Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I love the bright colors, I finally get to try out a bowl slide now.
Ryan King Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I was just zooming through the concept art...But...Did I Spot Derek?
