^ Seeing the above photo gives me the idea that this might have been an incredible boat ride through attraction (greatly expanded of course). I think I would have really enjoyed an attraction like that with live penguins hopping off the ledges all around me.

Do you guys think behind the scenes that Sea World upper management knows how bad this ride turned out or you think they just totally clueless?

Those nets are horrible. So much for getting a nice picture now

Tell me about it... And I was right there! :bang:
I should've tried to find the ride's exit and sneaked in to take a peek before this crap.

The nets were there opening day. Doesn't stop them from jumping out of the water though. I was told the nets were temporary until the Penguins get used to the environment

I hope the nets come back down, because that just kills everything. Now I also wish I had gone earlier if they become permanent. This was a fail on so many levels and opened way too quickly. Even the good parts are now being destroyed.

Oyy...this is why you don't open attractions without adequate softs, any attraction. How long had the penguins been in the enclosure before May 24th?

There were no nets Friday or Saturday when we were there.

The initial numbers should be great but this will not be enough to pull people away from Universal or Disney in a month.

I'm not seeing any nets in my pictures, the videos on YouTube, or anyone else's pictures from opening weekend.

The official artwork for the attraction was updated to reflect the recent changes:

there's no way those nets are temporary--they look SO bad. SeaWorld knows animal exhibits more than anything, and they should know how godawful that looks. I can't help but think those ugly things are just a temporary solution until they can raise the glass or something.

On a serious note: Methinks the nets have ruined the best thing the area had going for it.
