Antarctica - Empire of the Penguin

[Hockeyman55]

As much planning that goes into projects like these i just cant understand how they can fail so badly. Dont they do a story board for the ride beforehand so cant they see they ride was going to habe no story and hard to follow?

This has been an issue so far and is another reason why there are so many team members stationed along the exhibit wall. I was talking to a trainer and they said it was happening numerous times a day when they first arrived into the habitat.

That was only a matter of time haha

The exhibit is pretty well done and close-up (if team members were not there, you could pet the penguins), but like the ride, the exhibit is way too small. I feel sorry for the penguins being in such a small enclosure. The faults of the ride could be overlooked if the animal exhibit was larger (this is no Shark Encounter or Wild Arctic).

Maybe this this is part of the reason the penguins are exiting the enclosures. The would rather be out than in an overcrowded enclosure. :shrug:

I feel like the exhibit is a good size it's just there are too many penguins. Having 250+ penguins is way too much in my opinion. But the fact they they can jump out makes it so much more exciting!!!!!

Until one of them or one of us gets hurt...if that happens I expect it to go downhill fast.

If it was a polar bear that'll be another story. I approve, one coming out to play is ok. I think I'm now more excited for a penguin escapee than the ride itself. Lmaooo

How do you know that they are coming "out to play"? They might just be scared. :shrug:

Its a joke. It's obviously not ok, I'm honestly more concerned of a penguin getting hurt from escaping then a person.

Would LOVE to be a penguin on the wall for the Seaworld management team meeting Tuesday morning when they're all sitting around a conference table nursing hangovers and wondering what the HELL just happened. This rivals WKRP's Thankgiving Day promotion of giving listeners free turkeys by throwing live ones out of a helicopter.

My Rinky Dink Stank Review

1) Theme is excellent, great use of fake snow in mid 90 degree weather as the sun sizzles your skin. :bored:
2) New restaurant is nice, decent menu too.
3) New store is pengiungasmic for those who like critters who's poo smells like bad canned sardines!
4) The attraction itself, a sad waste of money, highly disappointed and glad I'm cancelling my SeaWorld pass in a couple weeks.
5) The exhibit at the end with the penguins is a nicely much needed upgrade.
6) My advice, skip the ride, enter the exit door, view the penguins from there and continue on with your day.
7) My recommended advice, if you plan to do the attraction, hallucinogenic drugs are recommended to enhance the experience.

That is all....

To the complaints it's to small. Is this enclosure any smaller then the last one. And do you know if penguins are animals that like larger space?
