Lookin' good! What purpose does that AquaSphere actually fulfill other than visuals, out of interest?

It is a bowl like element I think. White Water West did another installation with the aquasphere and manta element, though Ray Rush will have the added element of being launched as well.

This is a video of the other installation:


And this is just the Aquasphere element:

A little off topic, but do you guys think this starts a larger plan for the future of Aquatica? What do you think comes after this?

Anything that comes after this would require a lot of restructuring, as the available land as it at the other side of the exit lane. I always think they should build a large parking structure on that land, large enough for both Aquatica and Seaworld, and then the current parking can be used for expansion.

Guess they decided against the see-through sphere.

Called it

In a way I am glad, because Seaworld isn't the best in upkeep, so I could've seen that sphere look all tatty after a few months.

Is there any update on Ray Rush? Haven't seen or heard any updates for over a month now! It seems it should be ready to open soon? I'm looking forward to riding!

I know they had scheduled Team Member testing coming up, but cancelled due to a delay in the project.
