Unbelievably, one year has gone by since Aquatica opened its high speed water slides, exhilarating wave pools, tranquil beaches, and fun animal habitats. The water park, located across the street from SeaWorld Orlando, celebrated its one year anniversary this past Saturday, and though the park has gotten older, you’d never know it from the amount of fun it offers through countless underwater adventures and awe-inspiring animal exhibits.

One of the most fun and exciting water parks in Orlando, Aquatica has 3.3 million gallons worth of water in wild slides, river rapids, wave pools, steep water drops, and interactive playgrounds. But even though quantity is important, it’s the quality of these attractions and the thought put into them that makes them truly incredible. Take the Dolphin Plunge, for example, which takes riders down 250 feet of clear tubes, underwater, through Aquatica’s Commerson’s dolphin habitat. It’s definitely one of the park’s more breathtaking experiences, as it makes guests feel like they’re swimming in the water along with the dolphins.

Aquatica also has something for everyone, with slides ranging from the fast and furious Taumata Racer, which speeds riders down a 300-foot slide in and out of tunnels, to the laid-back and relaxed Loggerhead Lane, a lazy river that floats guests past incredible animal habitats – including a 10,000 gallon habitat filled with thousands of exotic fish. There’s even the four-seater raft ride Walhalla Wave for families, and little ones will love Kata’s Kookaburra Cove, a 79,000-gallon water wonderland filled with fountains, rides, and slides.

However, even all this watery fun isn’t what makes Aquatica a unique park that’s sure to be successful for years to come. One year ago when the park opened, executive vice president and general manager of the park Dan Brown said, “No one creates animal adventures like SeaWorld, and this exciting twist is one of the many distinctions that makes Aquatica not only new to Orlando, but also new to the world.”

That twist still keeps Aquatica on top of the pack, as park visitors are able to enjoy animal encounters with a wide variety of mammals, birds, and marine creatures. On any given day, a park guest might run into a Giant Anteater, a Laughing Kookaburra, a Roseate Spoonbill, and a massive Sulcata Tortoise. The park also features habitats of Commerson’s dolphins, macaws, and African Cichlids.

And all these features have gotten more fun since, in preparation for another great year, the park has refreshed itself with new paint and added new umbrellas, new sidewalk misters, new landscaping, new lounge chairs, and new signage that will help children figure out attractions are most appropriate for them. An extra ticket booth and expanded walkways are also being added near the entrance so that guests can come in and start having fun that much sooner.

So if you haven’t experienced Aquatica, give the park a belated anniversary present by making it part of your weekend plans. Check out discount Aquatica tickets on OrlandoFunTickets.com to start your exploration of a great Orlando water park that’s only one year young.

SeaWorld’s new water park is opening soon so get your cheap SeaWorld tickets here today

Just about a year ago SeaWorld announced a new tide was rising on the Orlando attraction horizon. And with that a new, one-of-a-kind water park began to emerge. Aquatica isn’t just any water park. No. It is the kind of water park only Sea World can conceive.

All you need to get in on this fresh fount of fishy fun is a ticket. And there’s no better place to get your cheap Aquatica tickets than at OrlandoFunTickets.com!

Aquatica isn’t just a new Orlando attraction. It is an entirely new concept in water parks, where the water isn’t just for splashing around in. It is also home to sea creatures that you can interact with and observe.

“SeaWorld is famous for immersing guests in the mystery of the sea and its animals,” said Jim Atchison, executive vice president and general manager of SeaWorld Orlando. “Aquatica takes this immersion to a new level, inviting guests to play in, over, and under the water itself.”

If you are looking for a wild, wet ride, Aquatica boasts 36 different water slides! The signature attraction propels guests in clear tubes through a lagoon full of Commerson’s dolphins, giving you the feeling of total immersion into the undersea dolphin habitat.

Want to sit back and relax? Aquatica has over 80,000 square feet of beach plus six rivers and lagoons, where you can float and sunbathe your stress away.

Many of Aquatica’s water attractions do double duty. Two gigantic wave pools offer side-by-side surf experiences: one with 5-foot swells and surf crashing around you; the other with gentle rolling waves you can float atop and enjoy. Nine different wave patterns can be created in the two pools, and they can even compete with “dueling waves.”

The delightful rivers streaming through Aquatica offer guests a variety of fun levels too. You can swim and float from “serene to extreme.”

One river flows along gentle waterfalls, showcasing exotic birds and ending up in a grotto full of colorful tropical fish. A second river gives guests the ride of their lives through rushing rapids, gushing geysers and crazy currents.

Aquatica opens to the public on March 1. You can be one of the first to splash in this pool by getting your discount Aquatica tickets now at OrlandoFunTickets.com!
