7. Riptide Race opens April 3 at Aquatica

SeaWorld has announced that the new Riptide Race attraction at Aquatica will have its grand opening later this week on April 3, 2021. This new attraction is the world’s tallest dueling racer waterslide, which sits atop a 68-foot tower, and includes a 650-foot slide—with low walls, so they can keep an eye on their opponents rafting through high-speed tunnels, twists, and turns.

8. Giraffe Bar now open

Guests can now enjoy panoramic indoor and outdoor views of Busch Gardens' expansive Serengeti Plain at the now open Giraffe Bar at the Serengeti Overlook Restaurant. This new area not only includes incredible views, but also has a curated selection of hand-crafted cocktails, craft beer flights, wine, and shareable appetizers.
