UK families will now be able to experience the world’s premier marine park, SeaWorld without even leaving their living room. The popular Orlando theme park and its sister parks Discovery Cove and Aquatica, have been mapped by Google StreetView allowing UK visitors to plan their holidays and get the most out of their days at the parks.
Brits can explore the parks up-close and in 360-degree detail, check out mind-blowing rollercoasters, see awesome killer whales in action and catch sea lions being fed. A StreetView visit to the parks can help visitors plan their route, get acquainted with the attractions and even find the best place to have lunch – all before they book their tickets and jump on the plane.
Working with Google’s Street View team, nearly every inch of the parks was mapped using one of Google’s ‘Trikes’. A state-of-the-art camera automatically gathered photographs from the back of a modified bicycle. Google software then blended the images, creating the famous, interactive and completely moveable 360-degree scenes Street View is known for.
Street View visits to the parks are accessible via web and mobile applications. Go to maps.google.com and search for SeaWorld, Discovery Cove or Aquatica. Then drag the orange ‘Pegman’ icon (found at the top left of the map) for a walking tour.
