"(7/18/05) SeaWorld Orlando confirmed to the Orlando Sentinel this week that the new project they are planning across International Drive will indeed be a new high end waterpark. They say that this will be a “naturalistic water park” that will include experiences with animals as well as water rides. They even issued a piece of concept art showing off one of the park’s new signature attractions, a clear acrylic waterslide tube that will go through a lagoon full of Commerson’s dolphins. They also say that the park will be designed with the guest experience in mind and a “focus on very short lines.” Once final approval is given from Orange County, they will start construction sometime in 2006 and have the park open in 2007."

The opening date has been put back to March 2008 to tweak a bit more apparently.
