My guess is this is for the people that will be among the penguins after people leave the vehicles and get to see the penguins up close.

Do the people who talk about the Dolphins over in key west or the other animal exhibits around the park fall under culinary operations as well?

 

[knokout1]

I'm pretty sure they fall under Zoo, and honestly that sounds like a dinner theater to me.

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

Im sure that both Sea World & Universal are racing to get there new ride open 1st. Who will win, Penguins or Transformers?

The ride should be the one on the right. As reference look at the rock that looks like a big momma penguin holding the baby penguin. Then on the left there is a restaurant and I think the other one is like an educational center or something, but I'm not sure. Look back through this thread and there's a video walk-through from a hard-hat tour/preview they held :thumbs:

Gonna be in Orlando for Halloween Extreme Memorial Day weekend really hoping it will be up and fully running by then.
