Its been 8 years since a park has debuted in the Orlando region, but recently Aquatica debuted as Orlando's 12th park. This feature will introduce you to the 65 acre park with an article, photography, as well as the opening ceremony video located at the bottom.

An even more in depth look is coming within the next few weeks so stay tuned!

That is absolutely breathtaking. Good job Seaworld, looks like another winner!

Great article and the park looks awesome. Just in the article you were talking about the slides going through the dolphin exhibit and you were describing the dolphin colors and you put black and while collaboration instead of what I think you meant of black and white collaboration. Otherwise as said great article and I'm sure we'll be seeing this water park appear on some top lists.

It says coloration, not collaboration...

Aquatica looks spectacular! Thanks for this feature! SeaWorld hit the nail on the head. What a great idea.

Sorry about that. Try again. :thumbup1:

Wow, Aquatica looks fantastic! It's amazing how, for just opening, the trees and shrubs are so huge! They really create an exotic atmosphere, and I think that's one of the strongest points of the park. It's really nice how they have two sets of a lot of things for different 'skill levels' - two wave pools, two lazy rivers, two family rides, it's like Noah's Ark (Haha, more water!). That water slide through the dolphin tank seems really jaw-dropping, as do many of the other slides.

Thanks for the article, pics, and video! It's awesome how RCPro is represented in the parks, especially on Media Day. :smile:

Fantastic update. Just to show how out of touch I have been with the Amusement Park industry lately, I have to say that I had no clue of "Aquatica's" existance until I saw it on the home page. Looks like one hell of a water park, really. Kind of reminds me of Water Country USA from the pics (and especially the park map), which I guess would make sense.
