6/23 SeaWorld update

Every Thursday and Friday night SeaWorld hosts Electron... I mean, Club Atlantis. This dance area is aimed at the 'tweens.'


Arctic Plaza is home to this event. Here are some last minute touches being installed.



Did you know that when Shipwreck Reef Cafe opened in 1999, there were four stages throughout the dining area? During the course of your meal you would likely see a musical act, an animal interaction with one of the island critters and an island resident such as the millionaire that owned the Dreamboat 2, Fifi Lemonde the famous French film actress, the mayor of the island or Axel Schneider the inventor of Shipwreck Rapids. Needless to say, all that entertainment went away pretty fast! But look, entertainment has returned to the island on the Power Plant stage!


The sea otter exhibit returns this weekend.


And now, Manta!










Lattice work has been added to this area of the fence


Just imagine, just about this time next year, you'll be soaring over SeaWorld!

Manta and more!

Turtle Reef is now in "Preview" mode. Do you remember that this used to be the original Shark Encounter?!


Hope these little guys survive the year!






This is a big guy! More turtles and fish will be added by the 18th. The interactive exhibits will be open by then as well!


It's a shame that this magnificent view is spoiled by the stroller parking and ride queue. A couple of benches above the rip-rap would have been a relaxing place to get away from it all!


The ride is open daily but not when the park opens.




The California Sea Otter exhibit is closed for a brief rehab. It should return next week.


Themed signage has appeared for Manta.






And now time for some Manta shots!


Looks like they did tear-up all the concrete after all.
