Seaworld New Waterfront news

SeaWorld Orlando plans to hire hundreds of employees by Memorial Day to staff its new "Waterfront" dining, entertainment and shopping area, park officials said Monday.

The new hires will include dozens of street performers, expanding that kind of entertainment beyond the theme park's "Key West" area for the first time.

"We're really beefing up a lot," said Jim Atchison, the park's marketing vice president.

The Waterfront area, to open May 26, is designed to give visitors more reasons to spend longer days in the park, with stays extending into the evening -- beyond the last Shamu show, Atchison said. The 5-acre area, designed to resemble old harbor towns, will include several restaurants, a bar and some shops.

"We see it as a great area for people to meet, relax and have fun," Atchison said.

The new area and its street entertainment will also give SeaWorld a way to compete after dark with Universal Orlando's CityWalk and Walt Disney World's Pleasure Island.

"This is a way for SeaWorld to slide into the nighttime-entertainment segment without building infrastructure solely for that. It's part of the existing park, so it's an enhancement for people that are already there," said Dennis Spiegel, president of International Theme Park Services in Cincinnati, a theme-park consulting firm.

Indeed, the Waterfront will differ both from CityWalk, through which guests must walk before entering Universal's two theme parks, and from Pleasure Island, which is separate from Disney's parks and charges admission.

"This could be a really fresh idea for them," said Steve Baker, an Orlando entertainment consultant and former Disney World executive. "They will offer something new that they can tweak and refresh. It's less risky than adding a $70 million ride."

update and piccie -- lol --


SeaWorld today opens two large new restaurants, a bar stocked with Anheuser-Busch beverages and four glittery gift shops. They are tied together with an old waterfront harbor theme and a meandering street of faux cobblestone. Seagulls soaring overhead look as if they might mistake it for the real thing.

One of SeaWorld's new restaurants, the Seafire Inn, features a nightly luau and during the day a musical feast, called Rico & Roza's. The 25-minute onstage performance entertains up to 329 people in the main hall. The cafe-line eatery features everything from stir-fry to hamburgers, with meals ranging from $6.95 to $11.95.

The second main new eatery is Voyager's Wood Fired Pizzas, with seating for up to 660 inside what appears to be the belly of an old ship, with wood beams and rope rigging.

At the base of The Tower, SeaWorld's 400-foot-tall observation pinnacle, is a new fortresslike structure that houses the SandBar, the park's second bar.Four new shops join about two dozen others at the park.
