We're going to insert park! ...ladies

Delays at SeaWorld’s $50 million theme park upgrade will enter a second year after the park postponed the opening for the third time due to shipping delays. The New Atlantis was set to feature two new attractions, including the Leviathan and the Trident. The new attractions were originally due tolaunch in ‘mid-2021’, however was pushed back due to unavoidable transport problems caused by the pandemic. Village Roadshow Theme Parks communications boss Mitchell Olivey said shipping delays due to Covid-19 was the main factor to why it was pushed back. “Our domestic team and international partners were severely impact by shipping delays that have changed our delivery timeline for the Leviathan and Trident attractions at the New Atlantis precinct at Sea World,” he said. Mr Olivey said the new opening date was September 3 for both of the attractions. “This new timeline will also allow our team to add additional improved thematic elements to the precinct which will be a truly world-class experience for guests at Sea World.” Fans hearing about the delay have expressed their disappointment online. “I got passes last year so the kids could go in this Xmas. Some delay is OK till Easter but passes will have expired by then,” Sean Delaney wrote. This image was also included in the article:

Why they opened today (any VRTP property) is kinda surreal to me. I would have thought the safety of the workforce then guests was more important than rope drop. I know VRTP use a really good weather software program that predicts forecast rain, storm etc. Maybe I'm just more in the thought of trying to keep the workforce warm and dry.

This gives Dreamworld another 6 months to announce something new, clawing back even more season ticket holders.

No you're thinking of Paradise Country
