the world's largest marine life park.
:05:05
Above and below the surface
of our unique Undersea Kingdom...
:05:10
(Man) The park opens on Saturday.
:05:12
All this week has been,
and continues to be, preview week,
:05:16
during which family and friends
attend Sea World as our guests.
:05:20
This is the Undersea Kingdom,
:05:22
four years under construction,
at a cost of more than $34 million.
:05:26
Four pressurised viewing tunnels
radiate out into the lagoon.
:05:30
There's the Sunken Spanish Galleon,
Jonah's Marine Fun House,
:05:34
the Deepwater Coral Forest,
all connected to Central Control.
:05:38
And a deluxe restaurant and lounge,
all 40 feet below the surface.
:05:42
The complex is built
in our manmade lagoon,
:05:45
which connects to the ocean
by a deep channel.
:05:47
The new additions to Sea World
are the brainchild
:05:50
of entrepreneur Calvin Bouchard.

(Kelly ) Hi, guys!
:06:00
(Girl) Now you can close the gate.

(Gate motor whirring)
:06:22
(Thud)
:06:23
(Man) Jesus!
:06:25
Overman, I thought you said
those tracks were secure.
:06:28
Hey, I welded
the damn thing myself.
:06:31
(Worker) Something's
hung the gate up.
:06:33
(2nd worker) Better get Brody.
He'll be pissed.
:06:36
Whoo!
:06:37
(Guy ) Here's the lagoon.
Set up for the turn.
:06:40
(PR man) I call your attention
to the Sea World skiers,
:06:43
who are entering the lagoon
:06:45
in a preview
of the opening day ceremonies.
:06:47
(Reporters chattering, indistinct)
:06:50
Here come my pride and joy.
:06:53
(Female reporter)
Can we talk to Mr Bouchard?
:06:56
- Beautiful. Just beautiful!
- (Girl skier) Hi!
:06:59
(Man) ..this exciting complex.
