I know I'm in the minority of people around TPR that still really like the park having gone there a lot as a small child but I hate to see them keep getting the shaft ride wise while the rest of the parks have left them in the dust. But at least they don't still have to deal with that psychotic hippie leatherface demon city council member, Donna Frye, who would try to stop them from constructing another drinking fountain let alone a decent roller coaster. On top of all the other environmental red tape that was mentioned above. It's safe to say the NIMBY's are terrible around most parks, but they are a special breed of terrible down in Mission Bay. The park had even held the flamingos from breeding two seasons ago to keep the population stable in anticipation of moving their exhibit. We have InBev to thank for haulting the Premier that was on track for this year. Sea World and Belmont are classic San Diego attractions being driven out of business by greedy city council members who seem to think the economy isn't effecting anyone. seeing as it attracts a large nunber of people to San Diego, and brings in revenue for not just the park, but for surrounding businesses as well. I've been astounded at the complete lack of support for Sea World. That is the only way I see anything being built. Not much marine life, just a bunch of bad acting and random acrobatics coupled with a horrible story.Īs for the 2014-2015 coaster.the only way I see ANYTHING being built (I regularly visit) is if it's compact or doesn't rise very high, and completely enclosed. I am glad to see them do this after what they did to the Dolphin Show.honestly, it was the worst show I'd ever seen.

This looks great! Can't wait for 2011 to roll around and a replacement for the manatees to arrive.Wonders of the River stunk, so hopefully this will be a good replacement. Capping off the experience will be a thrilling “riptide rescue” flat ride outside the aquarium that will even be fun for “tween” guests. “And our hatchlings are a testament to our stellar husbandry practices and ability to design habitats that allow animals to thrive.” Educational interactive elements like a gaming wall and touch screen maps will also be part of the attraction. “We are thrilled to feature these amazing creatures, some of which are endangered species,” said Thad Dirksen, the park’s curator of fishes. Turtles in the attraction’s nearly 300,000 gallon aquarium will include adults, some more than 50 years old, as well as ones that hatched at the park in October 2009. This attraction will be the largest display of sea turtles in the United States. Scheduled to open next summer, the attraction will also feature thousands of tropical fish that can be seen through the aquarium’s large underwater viewing window. It's all about sea turtles in 2011 for SeaWorld San Diego! The park's new attraction will highlight up to 60 threatened or endangered green and hawksbill sea turtles.
