SeaWorld Update 4.14.13

Haven't done a SW update in a while, not much going on there lately other than the Antarctica construction, but a few new things around the park.

First, a look at the construction progress of the new Antarctica attraction opening soon.

 Large trees now surround the area 

One of the main pathways leading up to the attraction?

Restrooms across from Journey to Atlantis has been re-painted.

A few weeks ago new Coke freestyle machines were added to one of the drink kiosks near the Dolphin theater.

Finally, a new green screen shark encounter photo area inside the Sharks Encounter exhibit.

Viva La Musica SeaWorld's hispanic festival is also now going on select dates on Sats. check links tab for details. The Bayside pathway opens at noon there you will find fun, food and entertainment for everyone. Concert starts at 3pm. Event is inclued with your paid admission to SW.

SeaWorld Christmas Celebration 2012

Some pictures of opening night of SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration. Shows: O Wondrous Night, Christmas Miracles Shamu, Winter Wonderland on Ice, Sesame Street and Clyde and Seamore's Countdown to Christmas. Most of the shows are the same from last year. Can't speak for the Sesame Street Christmas show as it is always crowded. Seaworld suggest getting at to any of the Christmas shows at least 45 mins to an hour prior to show.

Get your pics taken inside a snow globe, back again with 2 locations this year, one at the Waterfront, and another near Shamu stadium. Santa is inside the Polar Express Experience attraction as in previous years. New this year, O Wondrous Photo. Get your pics taken with some of the animals that are featured  in the O Wondrous Night show. Frankie the camel below.

 






























Some Entertainment around the park.

Christmas Marketplace is located in the Bayside Pathway. Opens at 5pm ( check guide map). There you will find various booths with games, ornaments, different merchandise,  food, drinks, and snacks. It's also an excellent viewing area for the fireworks and the Sea of Trees which dance at some point during the night.

Some of this year's merch.
