ORLANDO, Fla., March 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Aquatica Water
Parks in Orlando, San Antonio and San
Diego are now accepting reservations for 2021 for guests
looking to make a splash this spring and summer. Aquatica Orlando
is currently open for the 2021 season, Aquatica San Antonio will
reopen on March 6 and Aquatica San
Diego is anticipated to reopen on May
29.* Each Aquatica Water Park worked closely with state and
local health officials, medical experts, and attraction industry
leaders last summer to develop strict protocols and guidelines to
safely reopen and will continue to follow and implement those
previously introduced, enhanced health and safety guidelines in
Orlando, San Antonio, and San
Diego. Limited capacity measures will be in place to give
guests the opportunity to enjoy a safe outdoor experience.
Reservations are required; therefore, visitors are encouraged to
purchase their date-specific tickets early to secure admission.
"With Spring Break around the corner for many and summer on the
horizon, we are thrilled to be able to offer more family-fun
experiences at Aquatica in Orlando, San
Antonio, and San Diego, and
welcome back thousands of guests to safely enjoy our Aquatica
Parks," said Marc Swanson, interim
chief executive officer at SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment.
"Recognized as one of the top water park brands in the country,
Aquatica truly offers something for everyone. Whether you are
looking to float along the lazy river, experience the thrills of
unique rides like the KareKare Curl at Aquatica Orlando, Tonga
Twister in San Antonio or the
Walhalla Wave in San Diego,
Aquatica is a one-of-a-kind destination for outdoor fun."
HEALTH AND SAFETY PROTOCOLS
Following a successful 2020 season, Aquatica is committed to a
continued focus on the health and safety of its guests, employees,
and the animals in its care. Over the last year, the parks have
continued to work diligently with state and local health officials,
outside consultants, and attraction industry leaders to enhance
already strict health, safety, and cleanliness standards. Building
on the standard set by Aquatica last summer, these protocols and
guidelines will continue to be modified based on evolving industry
standards and methodologies, public health, and governmental
directives, and advancing scientific knowledge on the
transmissibility of COVID-19.
Face coverings will be required for guests ages 2 and older in
certain designated areas of the park, including the park entrance
and exit, retail areas, food and beverage areas, and other
designated areas. Face coverings will not be
required in the water, such as in the lazy river, the wave
pool, all water slides, and all other water attractions in the
water park.
