TIDAL TWISTER SET TO DEBUT: On May 24, Tidal Twister, SeaWorld’s dueling,
figure-8 coaster, debuts to the public! Accelerating to 30 miles per hour, riders will
twist and bank as if they are riding the tide along a tight, figure-8 track that includes
dynamic Zero-G roll at the center section. Two trains, holding 16 passengers each, will
load at opposite ends of the figure-8 and cross in the center with guests facing both
forward and backward on the trains. In addition to the ride, this new attraction will
feature a display of ornamental fish that will serve to educate park guests about
Rising Tide Conservation. Started by SeaWorld in 2009, Rising Tide Conservation is
dedicated to developing and promoting aquaculture of marine ornamental fish,
providing a sustainable alternative to wild fish collection, which can result in
tremendous damage to the coral reefs where they live. Aquaria: World of Fishes will
include an aquarium that will be home to thousands of fish representing more than a
dozen species, including yellow tang and harlequin tuskfish.
IT’S ALMOST TIME TO SPLASH AT AQUATICA: Aquatica SeaWorld’s Waterpark will be
back to make a splash for a seventh season starting May 24, with a combination of thrills, a
serene beachside resort atmosphere and up-close animal encounters. Among more than a
dozen attractions are Taumata Racer, a thrilling mat-racer water slide; Big Surf Shores, a
large wave pool, lined by an expansive sandy beach; several children’s play areas including
Walkabout Waters and Slippity Dippity; Tassie’s Twister, a multi-person raft that sends
riders through thousands of gallons of swirling water before dropping them into a six-story
funnel; and Loggerhead Lane, which offers a leisurely float down a winding lazy river, with
a view of Caribbean flamingos along the way. Aquatica is located at 2052 Entertainment
Circle in Chula Vista. www.AquaticaSanDiego.com.
SEAWORLD CELEBRATES MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND: SeaWorld will celebrate
Memorial Day Weekend with fireworks and fanfare! On Monday (May 27), the day will
