Second Aquatica waterpark for SeaWorld S


eaWorld is extending its Aquatica waterpark brand with the open-


ing of a second park in San Antonia on 19 May 2012. The new park in Texas is


an extension of Seaworld’s Aquatica waterpark in Orlando. Like its sister park, it will operate a separate gate, with the option of a two-park pass for guests who want to visit both SeaWorld and Aquatica. Construction of the 20-acre waterpark began in May 2011 and is the largest single investment SeaWorld San Antonia has made since 1988. Aquatica San Antonia will feature


three terraced pools, a wave pool, meandering river and thrill rides, all themed around a South Seas tropical setting with more than 42,000sq ft (4,000sq m) of sandy beaches and private cabanas. In keeping with SeaWorld’s philosophy of combining attractions with animal habitats, the park’s signature attraction is Stingray


, M The waterpark’s signature attraction is Stingray Falls


Falls. A four-seat raft twists and turns into an underwater grotto featuring stingrays and tropical fi sh. The ride is the fi rst of its kind in the world. Other attractions at Aquatica San


Antonia include a family raft ride called Walhalla Wave where riders experience weightlessness as they get shot up a zero-gravity wall. The HooRoo Run, an exhilarating 48ft (15m)-tall ride, will feature a series of turns, twists and drops. At Ke-Re tropical reef, guests feed different species of stingrays.
