Walls stop just short of the Animal Ambassador area, but leave enough room for them to get in and out:

Goodbye beautiful Sea Gardens and Water features you will be really really missed (at least by some of us)
Glad to see you all so excited. Wish I had something to look forward to at the park again
 
This might have been answered earlier, but what animal exhibits will Infinity Falls have (if any)?

Animal Ambassadors will bring out different animals native to South America at different times throughout the day, similar to what was done previously in the area. The sloth was always a guest favorite and will be returning. Flamingoes and parrots will always be present in the area, just as they were previously.

So, as far as I know, nothing is changing about the animals in the area.

A new section with exhibits and hands on learning kiosks will be added though, to teach guests about conservation methods of fresh water ecosystems.

It's definitely not going to be the same. Alot of animals have been removed. Bocce the armadillo just left Seaworld and went to West Palm Beach. One of the opposums has left the park, the Sandhil cranes are leaving shortly and there is plans for alot more animals to leave and go to other facilities around the country :( from what I have heard the sloth is staying, kookaburra, snake and some lizzards will remain
 
Any ideas on a layout...it seems quite a compact space I'm excited for this but I hope it's not wind down a bit of river before a big drop kinda jobby.

There will be some overlap, so it makes the most of the small area. I'll share what I know as construction goes on, but can't really comment any more on layout at this time.
 
Do you have a rough ride length time? Should we be expecting 3 mins, 5...more? I suppose the current and speed of lift plays its part...
 
The area looks a lot bigger without the trees and such. Also, notice the old SeaWorld logo that used to be on top of the Shamu Stadium overhand is gone now.


Its hard to see but if you zoom in on the stadium and look the old logo is still there. I cropped the image and zoomed in a bit here. You can see it still on top of the stadium
