SeaWorld Orlando is only 180 acres, with only about 100 acres covered with attractions, 16 acres for parking, and the rest is lake. 140 acres will be more than enough for a regular sized SeaWorld with parking.

I think they will need more space for the backstage area (employee parking, offices, etc) mainly employee parking building since they will be gaining more staff for the animals.cpt Awesome said:
Parking garages for employees would be perfect. It's hidden from the public so there would be few objections. Like 2 or 3 stories at max.
besides the cost...parking garages would be the best plan for space saving...

I was thinking the same thing, but maybe they could create a facade in which the parking garage looks like a building from the country it's located in. They are able to theme everything else, why not a parking garage?
There are some newer garages in Norfolk that you can't even tell are garages. If you look at Harbour Heights in Downtown, they are perfectly blended into the condo's above the garage. Also the new Wells Fargo Tower's garage is hidden very well. It would be best for them to make the garages with pre-industrial European facades that compliment the architecture of the park.
Thanks for that cost estimate. That really is not that expensive with all things considered. I imagine that it cost much more when the park built their own exit ramp and the new entrance pavilion. I'll try and find how much that cost.
So what types of venues would you expect to see in the theoretical Discovery Village? What kinds of shops and restaurants? What would kind of theme theme would you like to see in the entertainment district?

Before discussing the cost of parking garages at theme parks, I highly recommend reading this: http://www.themeparkgeekly.com/12/why-arent-there-more-parking-garages-at-theme-parks/
Like I said ^....besides the cost(which is jaw dropping +theming) it is by far a better idea for space saving.....but...I doubt the kids at busch can handle it. At least in the employee lot. They can barely learn how to park on a large flat space. I can't imagine a parking structure...
