Sea World's Aquatica

I have to get to Aquatica. Working directly across the street from Sea World, I watched the new water park going up, literally. From the higher floors in my company’s building, I could see the various water slides growing larger and larger. The slides and tubes are so colorful that the park can’t help but look like fun.

So why haven’t I gone yet? Well, as I watched the park being built, I also watched the traffic around the entrance building up. Let me tell you, that place has been packed! Who knew another water park in Orlando could draw in that much business and so soon. The firs week of the park opening, the place was packed. There were many days when it was closed by noon because it was full. I heard from a friend who did go in the first couple of months it was open, that the lines were very long.

Well, school is back in, which means some of the crowds will be going home, leaving more room for the people who do get to go Aquatica. Now is the time to go, when the lines will be shorter, but it’s still hot enough to not have to walk around all day shivering.

I’m not really sure what to expect, but I read on their website, that you can see lots of exotic fish, and it wouldn’t be a Sea World park if there weren’t dolphins. One of the rides takes you on a lazy river surrounded by huge tanks that you can see right into. The tanks are filled with colorful, exotic fish. Of course there are the thrill rides, too.

Well, I’ll go and let you know how it is. Stay tuned for an update with tips and pointers that you can use when you get to go to Aquatica.
