Honestly it's very clear they had very little space, can anyone come up with something better based on the small amount of space and 4 vehicles being out at once?

Finally got to experience this after a shift, and it was just kind of embarrassing.
There are elements to the attraction that are kind of impressive. The entry room was pretty interesting, because even though the animation is laughably comparative to that of early PS3 games, it gives the show experience a pretty entrance. Also, the end's grand reveal is pretty impressive and exciting (if you don't factor in the penguin poop), and being able to get so close to the penguins is definitely a great touch, even though in execution it's been iffy.
But Sea World's take on lighting and multimedia effects is so very basic that it had me pulling a confused and :/ face throughout. There is probably nowhere in Antarctica where the caverns erupt in color and shimmering and sparkling lights. It's supposed to add awe and aura to a seemingly desolate environment, but it was definitely the wrong way to do it. It seems as though most of the attraction is revolving around the same set pieces as if you're Puck while he's in a psychedelic trip during his adolescence. It doesn't work.
The graphics and transitions from one room to another (particularly the garage doors) were just bad show altogether. So were the exposed lights, highly reflective surfaces (you never want to reveal the lights on the surface on which you're casting them, either), and storyline.
This was definitely an attraction with potential, and in execution, it left me cold (pun intended).
Right off the top of my head add theming to the garage doors and blank walls you can see from the ride track. Another one would be to dump the whole puck thing and have the RV drive though the penguin environment (ala animal kingdom/rhino rally)
They have a few liens placed on them. Each company gave them notice that they (SW) were overdue. Liens don't just happen. The Nassal one just happens to be a huge debt.I seriously doubt SeaWorld would blatantly not pay their construction bills, even being so financially-burdened as people claim. I suspect a miscommunication somewhere. This is being overblown, just like everything else in the media. It seems the press is consistently shining a negative light on SWO. Every little slip-up they encounter is scrutinized and picked apart. It's sad because SWO is really a great park; just going through some tough times.
With that said, I hate the mismanagement of Blackstone. They're really hurting the Busch parks. It's a damn shame too, because SeaWorld and Busch Gardens are my two favorite parks.
