SeaWorld's new water park, Aquatica, makes its debut Saturday as Busch Entertainment Corp. puts the new park through a "soft" opening for the new attraction.
The 59-acre water park, just east of SeaWorld Orlando on the other side of International Drive, features 36 water slides, six rivers and lagoons, and more than 80,000 square feet of beach area. Busch Entertainment's marketing program is aimed at distinguishing the water park from others, including Wet 'n Wild, Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, by declaring it to be "SeaWorld's waterpark."
Among the distinctions that Busch Entertainment is pushing: the park will feature Commerson's dolphins, colorful tropical fish and other animals, a high-speed river ride, private cabanas for rent and higher-end food options.
SeaWorld is opening the park slowly, building toward a grand opening on April 4. Tickets are $38.95 for adults and $32.95 for children. Package deals are available including Busch's other parks.
