Was not really what I expected. Was a little disappointing. it was a wait wait wait type show and not even sure if people realized the standing portions watching the animals swim in the small aquariums were part of the show. I think we thought it was a preview of what was to come later when we got in.
Let me start at the beginning. Sign said 35 minute wait. So you walk in the old exit of the old manatee viewing building and stand outside in the line. Then you get let in to a room where there is a lower line and an upper line. There is an aquarium window to the left . A Couple manatees eventually swam in there. Right now I can't even remember if there were any other fish in this aquarium. Then after you stand there for 15-20 minutes you are let into another aquarium room. There were alligator gar, huge black and white cat fish in this one and some other types of fish. Then you get let into the next room where the turtles are in the aquarium. The turtles were cool, but for some reason I had assumed that they had built an aquarium that was 360 viewing and that they would be swimming overhead and all around you. So I found it disappointing that only the film was 360. Also I think they should have the CM tell you which kind of sea turtles were in the aquarium. There may have been pictures somewhere telling what type they were but I could not see them .
As for the 3-D film. I loved it. It was fast moving and really awesome, but I have to caution anyone who has motion sickness that you might have problems watching this. You stand to watch it and at times I even felt a little dizzy. The pictures spin around you and you move your head around to not miss anything . I decided that my older sister and my niece would not be able to enjoy it within a couple minutes of it starting.
My other caution is that it is time consuming and you stand for over an hour to view this not even including the wait time you see out front. If someone can't stand for long periods of time, I suggest getting a wheel chair.
