Park News - (4/11/08) If you take a look at the SeaWorld Texas Special Events page, you may notice a few new additions. In addition to the park’s big 20th Birthday bash on April 10th (belated Happy Birthday!) there is also a SuperChick / Praise Wave Christian Concert event set for May 17th, a visit by the Backyardigans on August 23 & 24 and SeaWorld’s Holiday Celebration in December, which will feature various “Holiday Events” in the park. It looks like the stretching of the season into December is here to stay.

2008 - Nothing New known at this time

2009/2010- Sesame Street 4D: Movie Magic - Rumor - (10/23/06) A reader tells us that when they visited the park last Sunday the show schedule listed, “Today Only, Sesame Street 4D” over at the park’s 4D Theater. The hostess at the theater announced to everyone that this was a sneak-peek at a future park attraction where they showed a short pre-show movie and the main 4D movie in the theater. Our reader found it to be enjoyable for both kids and adults and the audience reaction also seemed positive. I don’t know if they have been doing this any other days or if this was truly a one day test run of the film to judge audience reactions.
  (8/28/06) Just call this an educated hunch on my part, but I believe we’ll see this film that was created for Universal Studios Japan show up at Busch Gardens Tampa & Williamsburg and SeaWorld California and Texas in 2008.

2009 - Lost Cay - Speculation - (3/25/08) About the same time that the new trademark filing for “Manta” was found, it was noticed that Sea World had also applied to trademark the name “Lost Cay” for “a themed area”. The Lost Cay name does not appear to be connected to Aquatica in any way since all of the trademarks for Aquatica were filed by Busch Entertainment and not Sea World Inc, which has led some to believe that it may be connected in some way to the Manta coaster project, which was also filed by Sea World Inc.
  I’ve come up with a few other ideas however… just because the name itself doesn’t really sound like something that would be a good fit as a themed area for a new coaster. It sounds more like something to do with a waterpark and Lost Cay sounds more fitting as an expansion of the Lost Lagoon waterpark at SeaWorld Texas. Along the same lines, it would also be a fitting name for any kind of expansion to Discovery Cove in Orlando as well. Ironically enough, the last time a Discovery Cove expansion was announced, before the fallout from 9/11 killed it, the plan was to build Ray Lagoon, a new interactive animal attraction that would allow guests to swim with an army of over 100 Rays. (The current small existing ray pool was to be transformed into a more kid friendly attraction called Kid’s Coral Reef where kids could use snorkel masks to look at small tropical fish in the shallow water. So... Discovery Cove or SeaWorld Texas? Anyone know more?
