On June 10, 2011, Discovery Cove unveiled its first-ever expansion at SeaWorld Orlando: the Grand Reef. Taking the place of the park's former reef, the new area boasts 2.5 acres featuring more than 10,000 sea creatures for up-close encounters. This video takes you underwater, exploring the Grand Reef, as well as interviews with Discovery Cove officials.

so what happens to the other place where you used to snorkel with fish and feed the rays?

[InsideTheMagic]

@Clairem159 The other reef is currently closed, to be reworked into an unannounced fresh water attraction next year.

Wait...the stingrays still have their tails?? I see murder in the first few months...ask the Crocodile Hunter's wife.

@skellington15 It's not the tail that stings, it's the barb - and those have been removed from the stingrays at Discovery Cove. The stingrays (and their tails) are safe for guests.

on one hand i think it's really cool, but on the other hand i really think those animals belong in the ocean and shouldn't be that confronted with so many people..

@InsideTheMagic I went in april 2011 so just a few months before it opened :( oh well I still swam with rays, giant rays, salt water fish touched sharks next to a glass panel with big sharks in and barracudas and swam with the dolphins touched an ant eater and a porky pine and an owl and also went into there bird aviary and various types of birds landed on my shoulders and arm!

@TheYoungestof6 Theres a pool of some sort in Disney's typhoon lagoon where you can swim with sharks. Some of them are almost that size, none any bigger I wouldn't think.
