News Project 2027 (?)/Neptune: SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep
- Thread starter Python_Survivor
- Start date
Hoping this is something really cool. Would like to see a MACK, Vekoma, or an Intamin product.
Of note, said permit mentions a total square footage of work at around 41,000 square feet. Scorpion at Busch, for comparison, was just under 20,000, and SandSerpent under 9,000.
I got curious about this and looked into the square footage side of things. Assuming the 41,000 square feet part is accurate, what if we see Vekoma working on this project? The Super Boomerang only takes up a 22,000 square foot plot of land, leaving ample space, maybe even for a couple flats to join in the party maybe? Or maybe it’s a family coaster model—Lightning at Furuvik occupies around 60,000 square feet. Could possibly be a junior coaster—Vekoma’s Horus model (Midnight Flyer) clocks in at 24.37k square feet, as well as the dueling family boomerang clocking in around 50k, if it were to go over that limit. I feel like SeaWorld specifically would be a great park to recieve a modern Vekoma.
Seaworld Orlando has filed permits for a Project Neptune, PGAV originally built JTA

I merged your thread into the existing 2026 thread @Seaworld History. Your theory may prove right eventually, but for now, given that PGAV has a very long history of work on (often themed!) major United Parks projects, I'm going to keep the conversations together for now.

New permits have been filed for Neptune today, the category is listed as Recreational - Social - Sauna.

OC FastTrack - Building Permits

Of note it points out that these are for new construction of foundations which wouldn't likely be the case for a simple JTA 2.0 upgrade...
Have also heard that a few education related spaces are on the chopping block going along with this
Petition for for SeaWorld history to change his tagline to "I'm misinformed about something you aren't" if this ends up not being Atlantis.
Some of the comments from the county to the previous rounds of applications reference work in the parking lot, which is next to the site being discussed here, so it would make sense for it not to be Atlantis.
It would also be quite late to just begin the surveying process about a 2026 addition in 2025. I could well be wrong but since Atlantis was just recently on the survey and these things take years to approve and plan, it would seem that 2027 might be the earliest we see that overhaul. Just my non-expert thoughts though.

Could this be an expansion to Discovery Cove past the Grand Reef? PGAV has helped with the creation of Discovery Cove and more recently the Grand Reef in 2011.
