Inspired
by the sights, sounds and character of vibrant seaports around the world, this
5-acre nautical neighborhood bustles with activity and immerses guests into a
rich tapestry of festive entertainment, dining and shopping.

Strolling
through The Waterfront, guests may encounter an assortment of charming residents
who bring the streets to life. The Harbormaster welcomes visitors and shares tall
tales of life on the sea; comedic longshoremen entertain passersby with improvisational
comedy and zany antics; and various musical ensembles serenade guests with the
sounds of the Mediterranean.
What seaport is complete without a menagerie
of mischievous felines roaming the docks? Kat 'n' Kaboodle is a "purr"-ific new
street show featuring 16 exotic breeds of cats -- including Bengal, Sphynx, Persian
and Siamese -- that demonstrate amazing feats as they climb ropes and cause havoc
in the harbor. Guests enjoy the show in an intimate setting, standing only five
feet from the action.

Eating
at The Waterfront is part of the adventure, with numerous venues showcasing food
as performance art. At Voyagers Wood Fired Pizzas, guests are welcomed by Chefs
"Dominick and Luigi," whose high-flying, pizza-flipping talents are amazing to
watch. At The Seafire Inn, chefs prepare stir-fry dishes on a 4-foot Mongolian
wok for everyone to see. Both café-line eateries feature an array of food selections
inspired from faraway places.

If
music is your cup of tea, Rico & Roza's Musical Feast at The Seafire Inn is guaranteed
to please. Proprietors Rico and Roza regale park guests with tunes and tall tales
in a 25-minute musical celebration of food, family and fun. This daytime show
encourages audience participation with an amusing blend of music and comedy.
As
the sun sets over the harbor, The Seafire Inn turns Polynesian as it hosts the
Makahiki Luau, a bountiful celebration featuring the ancient customs, rhythmic
music and dance, authentic costumes and cuisine of the Pacific Islands (opens
June 26).

Visitors can take in a spectacular view of The Waterfront
from The Tower, SeaWorld's 400-foot landmark located on the all-new Tower Island.
At the base of The Tower, an ancient fortress has been turned into the SandBar,
a pub overlooking the picturesque harbor. Here, guests can dine on upscale appetizers
such as sushi and enjoy signature martinis while listening to live musicians.
Not only is the cuisine inspired by exotic lands, the shops and boutiques
at The Waterfront also have an international influence. The stores showcase wares
and treasures from ports all around the world, as well as new lines designed specifically
for SeaWorld -- such as the whimsical, glittering SeaFairy doll collection. Several
shops also feature interactive, make-your-own gifts for an individualized keepsake,
ranging from beaded jewelry to fragrant colognes and bath gels.

Guests
admire an exclusive glassware collection at Under The Sun, one of the many unique
shops found at The Waterfront at SeaWorld.
Artisans from the ports
of Bali, Indonesia, Italy and South America demonstrate their crafts at Tropica
Trading Company. Children's dreams come true at Allura's Treasure Trove when they
design their own porcelain dolls -- the only such program in the United States.
The Waterfront's centuries-old apothecary is home to Swirls Sweet Shoppe, featuring
custom concoctions such as sea-life-shaped candies, and Under The Sun offers unique
collectibles and accessories to brighten up any kitchen and home.
A dazzling
display of light ends the day at SeaWorld with Fireworks at The Waterfront. Stirring
music fills the air, and breathtaking pyrotechnics are fired from every corner
of the Harbor. (Shows performed nightly throughout the summer and at holiday times.)
Regardless
of time of day, The Waterfront at SeaWorld is a colorful mosaic of sights, sounds
and flavors - all infused with the fun and festive spirit of the Mediterranean.
Its rich blend of culture, cuisine, and characters transports the imagination
to faraway lands and takes its visitors on an exotic adventure.
COMING
SOON:
July 2003 will bring the wonders of the sea to life with a new, breathtaking
mystical show at SeaWorld's Nautilus Theater. Odyssea is a 30-minute amazing spectacle
combining gravity-defying acrobatic feats, lively music and dazzling special effects
within a spectacular set that transports guests into an underwater world filled
with whimsy and fantasy.
