SeaWorld San Diego

I think I read something saying there actually used to be a restaurant there before, which is interesting. A sit-down restaurant with views of Mission Bay would be lovely, and I don't know why they haven't already built one in the Waterfront area near the cabanas. The square footage and name I saw mentioned in the permit made it sound like something minor, like a grab-and-go or quick service stand, but I hope I'm wrong because that'd be a huge missed opportunity.

I'm guessing the Jellyfish exhibit will open June at the earliest, but hopefully at least sometime this summer. Based on the concept art I think they're just repurposing the existing ride station building, so there might not be any major construction to see from the outside.

That makes more sense then.....when I went no ground was broke so I was confused how it was going to open anytime soon

Some updates from last week:

• New front entrance gates are now open. They're just as plain and ugly as expected, clashing with the rest of the well-themed reef style entrance. There's also a good deal of mismatched pavement around both the main gate and the security checkpoint.
• New subway style entrance gates have been installed, which will reportedly be self-service once online. This seems to be another move to reduce the number of staff needed to run the park wherever possible.
• On the brighter side, there's some evidence the pirate show is making a return this summer, with the pirate ship out in front of the stage and what looked to be stunt actors rehearsing on jet skis:
• Work is now visible on the exterior of the future jellyfish exhibit building. Still no update or anticipated opening date from SeaWorld.
