I was hoping for something a bit more substantial than an 'interactive splash zone' for the former Seaworld waterpark. An extension of the Castaway Bay themed area would have been great to see, with an addition of a family friendly flat ride. A solid all ages flat ride is something Seaworld is sorely missing.

Something along the lines of a Mack rides Sea Storm, Gerstlauer Polyp, or what about bring back a classic and install a HUSS Pirate Ship. Or perhaps an observation type ride, with a bit of a twist - e.g. the Vekoma Sky Shuttle.

 

 

 

The last show for Fish Detectives will be October 8th

I do hope to see the Castaway Bay theme extended into this new interactive splash zone, as that would really complete the area.

So open in September...  School holidays is in less than 2 weeks...  They end October...

Also just saw on their Twitter that the Today Show will be live from Sea World on Friday...  I wonder...

So happy about the splash zone I honestly thought the old waterpark would be SeaWorlds next empty plot of land. Cough Sea Viper and Pirate Ship Cough

Not any more, they are going to be live from Wet n Wild instead. Probably because of the massive amount of backlash the show received on social media for visiting the park.

They were still promoting it on their facebook page this morning - Sylvia was apparently swimming with sharks.

Just found out the show will be recorded from SW, but will also have parts from WnW too

The show is being recorded live from SW but they will be doing a live cross to WnW for the weather. I saw a post on WnW's Facebook page earlier today about looking for people to be at WnW for the live cross.
