Aquatica Williamsburg

[Gavin]

This was originally started in the Vanish Point thread. I've split it out so people who wish to continue to talk about it can.

They should rebrand the whole park as Aquatica.

Aquatica at WCUSA would be impossible.

RE: Vanish Point

I don't see why that would be impossible. The WCUSA "theme" barely exists at the moment.

We're too far north for large outdoor tanks for animals.

What do you mean too far north?

There are marine parks with large tanks in Canada and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California is directly across the country from WCUSA.

RE: Vanish Point

The tanks would need to be heated and protected from the outside elements which will cost lots of money. It's cheaper to keep it the way it is.

RE: Vanish Point

Yes, but large outdoor tanks with the tropical animals one expects to see at a Sea World are impossible due to the colder weather. Sure, we can do marine mammals, but nothing like sharks or rays.

*whispers* "Ohio..."

...but in all seriousness, this is the "Vanish Point" thread, and not the "Aquatica Williamsburg will not work here" thread. Please treat it as so.

EDIT: Posts have been split out for further discussion.

The only major animal attraction at Aquatica that requires a sizeable outdoor tank are the Commerson dolphins. There are no sharks or rays at Aquatica. The Commersons are native to the cold waters of the Antarctic. If WCUSA got an Aquatica makeover they would have to keep the water cool, which is something that SeaWorld easily does with their gigantic Orca tanks.

Thread Split.

Glad this was split, this is the first I'm seeing of it. I think this would be awesome!

Umm ik this sounds stupid but what is the theme?

 

[Party Rocker]

Water Country USA's theme is a 70's and 60's surfer's paradise theme. You know like the Beach Boys type music and what not. It's really not that bad of a theme.

*50s and 60s. But a few years ago they went into older music that's as new as the 1980s, now its whatever gets airtime on the radio.

Really? Well they can go for a beach party theme. Still works, sorta.

No, not even sorta. It is a fail and now a reason why I have only visited 25% of what I usually do each summer. The atmosphere with the Oldies made the park what it WAS atmospherically.

I say WCUSA finds a way to use the president statues in the park.
