Sea World Aquatica – First New Orlando Theme Park in 7 Years

Wow! It looks amazing. Arriving March 2008 it promises to be something very different.

I admit I hadn’t given Aquatica much attention up to now. I heard the announcement about it earlier this year but didn’t take much notice. But this week a guest asked me about it and so I decided to look into it. Water parks aren’t really my thing – but I think this one will change my mind……….aquatica_2.jpg
The 59-acre Aquatica water park will combine the best of both SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove with up-close animal encounters, water rides and 80,000 square feet of white-sand beaches.

Aquatica attractions will include side-by-side wave pools, lazy river rides, eight-lane racing slides, interactive water play areas and 36 waterslides, including a 300-foot-long enclosed waterslide that plunges riders down a 42-foot drop and through a lagoon populated by black-and-white Commerson’s dolphins.

I have to say that I find water parks hard work with 3 young children. But Aquatica looks amazing. The design promises to truly cater for all ages by combining different types of attractions. It also promises to have minimal wait times for the attractions. Let’s hope they achieve that!
