Aquatica, SeaWorld's Water Park
The new park, called Aquatica, SeaWorld's Water Park was originally scheduled to open in the summer of 2007 but this was pushed back to April 4, 2008.
The park is located on 59 acres of land, on the east side International Drive, south of Sea Harbor Drive between the existing SeaWorld park and the Williamsburg residential subdivision. It is about one third the size of the original SeaWorld water theme park and about twice the size of Discovery Cove with visitor numbers expected to be limited to around 7,500 people.
Aquatica is a combination of animal experiences, water rides and slides, high-speed thrills and relaxing sandy beaches and will appeal to all ages.
Main attractions
The new Aquatica water park is set in the South Seas and features 36 water slides, six winding rivers and lagoons with tropical fish.
There are two large side-by-side wave lagoons, offering two very different experiences; one has crashing waves and five foot swells whilst the other has a gently rolling surf. It is possible to generate nine different wave patterns.
The winding rivers also offer different journeys from calm to extreme with gentle waterfalls past exotic parrots into an undersea grotto full of colourful tropical fish in one and rolling rapids, racing waters and rushing geysers in the other.
Amongst the 12 main attractions there are also eight-lane racing slides, racing tunnels, triple-drop raft rides and inner tube river adventures.
Small children and toddlers are not forgotten with an enormous interactive water play area including a 60 foot high rain fortress besides a 15,000 gallon pool plus special family orientated slides and water cannon.
Sandy beaches
Aquatica also boasts over 80,000 square feet of white sandy beaches where you can relax in the shade of your own personal cabana and take advantage of the beachside service.
Some attractions bring the guests into close proximity with dolphins and other marine animals; a "total immersion in the sea". Animal Ambassadors can also be found wandering around the park with several unusual animals including a giant anteater and a spoonbill.
The landscaping is themed on the beautiful lush flora of the South Sea Islands, New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea with crystal clear rivers, hidden grottos and sparkling waterfalls.
Buildings are brightly coloured and there are carved totem poles decorations taken from New Zealand's Maori culture.
Commerson's dolphins
One of the signature attractions of the new park is a very special water slide.
It consists of a pair of clear acrylic tubes that swimsuit clad guests will slide down through a pool inhabited by black and white Commerson's dolphins, giving the impression of flying under water.
Florida Eco Safaris
