Turtle Trek 3D 360 movie at SeaWorld Orlando announcement and interview

Visit http://www.InsideTheMagic.net for more about Turtle Trek coming to SeaWorld Orlando in 2012.

Included in this video is an interview with SeaWorld Orlando creative director Brian Morrow.

While creating TurtleTrek (opening at SeaWorld Orlando in spring 2012), designers stayed true to SeaWorld's unique blend of nose-to-nose animal encounters and state-of-the art entertainment.

Guests first visit two massive naturalistic habitats, one filled with hundreds of freshwater fish and gentle manatees, the other home to more than 1,500 saltwater fish and more than a dozen sea turtles. Many of the manatees and sea turtles were rescued by the park's animal team. Since SeaWorld Orlando's rescue programs began, the team has cared for and returned to the wild nearly 240 manatees and more than 1,200 sea turtles.

Moving on from the habitat, guests enter a domed theater, and what happens next has never before been seen and is a first at any theme park in the world.

Coming to life is a first-of-its-kind 3-D/360-degree dome theater film that is completely immersive. The dome allows a hyper-realistic 3-D movie to be shown all around guests and even above them -- not just in front them or on only one screen. It's this unique and immersive way of showcasing a sea turtle's epic and astounding journey that is the heart of TurtleTrek. And for the first time, SeaWorld guests are given a turtle's eye view of the ocean's wonders.

TurtleTrek is as inspirational as it is astounding. There's a call-to-action at the end of the experience: SeaWorld calls on guests to join them in conserving the world we share. "Do a little, do a lot, but join us and do something to help the world and its animals," said Brian Morrow, the attraction's chief designer. "TurtleTrek is about the everyday heroes who can make a difference in nature."

Wow there actually updating sea world. These seem like pretty big changes there doing :) haven't done anything this big in a while. But in my opinion it is in the best of directions seeming as its growing a little stale as it is now. Nice to spruce the place up a little.
