SeaWorld to open Chula Vista water park June 1

A new SeaWorld water park replacing the Knott’s Soak City is debuting in time for summer in Chula Vista.

In November, the owner of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment acquired Knott’s Soak City and planned for a massive transformation.
The park will be remodeled into “Aquatica”, a SeaWorld water park that includes sandy beaches, wild animals, and a lush relaxing landscape, similar to those in Orlando and San Antonio.

“We’ll have Caribbean flamingos, fresh water turtles, personal cabanas and shaded lounge seating. It’s kind of a south seas theme,” said Vice President of Aquatica David Cromwell.

The original rides from Soak City will stay in place, but be re-purposed and repainted.

SeaWorld plans to hold a job fair March 23 in Chula Vista for it’s June 1st opening.

No word yet on ticket prices.

The legend of Pocahontas has lived on in books and movies, and now it comes to life on stage with a thrilling combination of storytelling, choreography and plot moving musical numbers that will not disappoint.

The Legend of Pocahontas takes to the stage in Chula Vista on November 2 – 4 and November 9 – 10, 2012 at Mater Dei High School Theater. All seats are reserved and ticket prices are $12 ($15 at the door). For tickets visit www.cytsandiego.org.

Christian Youth Theater’s (CYT) original musical production of The Legend of Pocahontas follows Pocahontas as she grows from being a curious brave child to a beautiful and intelligent woman of the time. More than 80 local youth make up this talented cast of actors, singers, dancers and tech crew who weave the historical story line into spectacular sights, memorable tunes and dynamite choreography.

The accomplished artistic team of directors – Director Denise Plunk, Music Director Tony Atienza and Choreographer Francine Maigue – takes the original musical score written by Jon Lorenz to produce a powerful and brilliantly entertaining musical that also teaches lessons of love both for environment and one another.

“The story of Pocahontas tells about a lack of understanding and acceptance from each side,” said Director Plunk. “And still today, we continue to see intolerance and inequality in our world. The Legend of Pocahontas reminds us that we are all more alike than different.”

Show Times & Details

When: November 2nd to 4th and November 9th & 10th
Where: Mater Dei Catholic High School: 1615 Mater Dei Drive, Chula Vista Ca. 91913
