SeaWorld San Diego

[Rideguy70]

The building is outdated Seaworld doesn’t want to pay for a new one. The emperor’s will be sent to Orlando and are rumored to be removed next month the rest will stay till November they will be distributed around the Seaworld parks. A temperate outdoor penguin exhibit similar to the one at the San Diego zoo will be likely taking its place.

Is there a reliable source for this? Because I haven't heard anything else about this at all, and you'd think Sea World removing the penguin exhibit would be relatively big news for the park

This is coming from a person on another forum who said they herd this from the parks zoology department so not a super reliable source but the argument makes sense so I thought would post it here

Permits have been filed for the shark encounter renovation with the California coastal commission

Actually crazy they have to get approval with the CCC for these types of projects.

I’ll miss the theming

The signs have new paint around them also the flume has been refilled

I was there about a month ago, and I did have to admit that the paint job looks really good.

As long as the colors look better in person, but I'm really NOT a fan of the naked unthemed lift hill, especially with that "sky blue" color.

The Orlando original set the bar so high. But at least it's not as unthemed as San Antonio.

I was at SWSD today. Do I dare say the new Atlantis theming reminds me of Celestial Park…

Is there anything new other than paint?

They’re legally required to paint it the sky blue color by the city of San Diego

Yea I know. Doesn't mean I have to like it. The tower already looks awkward enough. I'm almost surprised the emergency exit staircase tower isn't required to be the same instead of "tan".

Journey was originally supposed to be much better themed including a themed lift and that staircase tower being inclosed but through a mix of budget cuts and push back from the city it was cut

It was also going to be in a different part of the park up against the bay so no view of the parking lot from the drop and lift but the city made the park move it’s location to it’s current plot.

The city was wrong. May those that made such decisions be cursed by the sirens song. *sigh* We were robbed of greatness.

In particular, it was this city council members personal mission to ruin everything about Journey to Atlantis and try to stop it from being built.

It's obvious she spent too much of her life loafing on the beach without using sunscreen. Sun fryed.
