 » Exploring Aquatica

 

 

February 25, 2008

 

Greetings, Adventurers!

 

Today we wander off the paths of Universal, and into a place new and exotic. For the past few years, you've heard about it - and over the past few months, commercials and hype has been steadily building. You are likely by now familiar with the advertising campaign, 'What if SeaWorld created a waterpark?'

 

Well, folks, IOACentral is here to reveal what really does happen when SeaWorld creates a waterpark, and the result is an incredibly lush and tropical utopia. Full of fun and relaxation for the entire family, Aquatica delivers an experience that no other waterpark can deliver. Located behind SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld's third Orlando attraction opens its doors in just five days. Merging the best of waterpark attractions with the wonder of marine wildlife, Aquatica achieves points in both beauty and fun, and is a must see for any family who cares to enjoy a fun and relaxing day in the water.

 

Admission to Aquatica starts on March 1, 2008. Ticket prices begin at $38.95 for adults and $32.95 for children, and can be added to almost any type of SeaWorld/Busch Gardens passport.

 

Below are several pictures of the park in no particular order.

This is the infamous slide from that concept art that dives into the dolphin tanks.

 

The slide turns clear as it makes the plunge through the tank.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The lazy river features many water effects to make sure you stay wet.
