 Aquatica is a
fairly new addition to Sea World. Though it is a part of Sea World it displays
many other things that visitors believe Sea World should have had more of to
begin with-such as the rides, animals, and dining options.
The major addition to Aquatica that draws many guests is its new rides. It has
a wide selection of rides to choose from ranging from the youngsters to the
teens and thrill seekers. The Cutback Cove & Big Surf Shores is a unique
pair of two side by side wave pools, on the cutback cove section the waves are
always coming in at a consistent rate however at Big Surf Shores where waves
range from high to easy and slow. Dolphin plunge could possibly be Sea World's
most popular ride where you are sent sliding down a transparent tube into a
body of water in which dolphins swim it-it actually makes you feels like you
are swimming in the water with the dolphins for a few seconds of the ride.
Roa's Rapids is a ride that races you down a river where you experience high
tides, swirls and geysers at a very fast rate of speed-it is unlike any other
river ride you've ever been on. Tassie's Twisters ride is a tube where you are
twisted and turned multiple times after times and finally land into the lazy
river. Taumata Racer can be considered one of the most thrilling rides in
Aquatica where you and 7 other racers get on a mat and slide down head first at
speeds beyond your belief. The Walhalla Wave and HooRoo Run are both great
family rides that are nearly 6 stories tall jam packed with twists, turns, and
tunnels. Whaunau Way is another popular ride which is a quadruple tunnel ride
which twists riders around and puts them down a slide which leads them into a
splash pool. If you're traveling with kids or not a thrill seeker yourself
Aquatica has rides for you too! Kata's Kookaburra Cove is a great playground
for children with its small water slides and splashing water. Loggerhead lane
is Aquatica's vibrantly colored lazy river where you can get on a raft and
joyfully float around and relax. Walkabout Waters can be considered a landmark
to children; this brightly colored playground that stretches over 15,000 square
feet has everything a child could possibly imagine.
 Over the years
Sea World has made itself famous for its well-trained and exotic animals, so
they could not let Aquatica fall short. Aquatica's park has a variety of
animals however the most popular and the most commonly visited are the
Commerson's Dolphins which can be viewed at the Dolphin Plunge. Another popular
series of animals to see is the brightly colored fish while going down
loggerhead lane, the exotic and vibrant colors will boggle your mind. Other
than the animals on display, if you keep your eyes open while strolling in
Aquatica or waiting in line you can probably be able to spot many rare birds
such as the Kookaburras, leggy-spoonbills, and macaws.
After walking around the park, climbing stairs in line, and using all of your
energy to scream at the top of your lungs the chances are you probably will get
a bit tired and hungry-that's why Aquatica is prepared with 3 restaurants that
are sure to feed your needs. The Banana Beach Cookout is the place to go for
all American favorites such as burgers, hot dogs, and their famous BBQ Chicken
as well as many side items, you can purchase an all day pass for this
restaurant and stop by whenever you're hungry or pay once and enjoy a meal. The
Mango Market is a much smaller restaurant that serves smaller items for people
on the go who are not willing to miss out on rides by eating; it's the place to
stop for small snacks and light meals. Waterstone Grill is a mix between the
two restaurants with both light and larger plates as well as a bar for visitors
that are of the drinking age.
 If you are
visiting Aquatica and don't plan on taking advantage of its rides or dining
options there is endless white sand beaches with plenty of sand so if you're
looking to just sit back and relax on the beach there's a spot for you too!
Aquatica also offers very low priced private cabanas for full day rentals that
come equipped with tents, beach chairs and towels. The Cabanas have two
locations in the park the first location is Aquatica Cabanas which can be found
along the white sand beach, or the Roa's Island Cabanas which are located in
the middle of Roa's Rapids.

for a great day in the water or fun in the sun.
