A spokesperson for the company said that SeaWorld is designing a naturalistic park which will 'surround visitors with adventure and the beauty of the sea, lush nature and amazing animals'.

A signature attraction will whisk guests through a lagoon within inches of Commerson’s dolphins.

Jim Atchison, executive vice president and general manager of SeaWorld Orlando, said of the plans: “This creation will will not only be new to Orlando, it will be new to the world.”
