The fountain at the center of Christmas Town is now on!

One of the most unique exhibits to open at the park so far is the seal exhibit inside the polar mountain. Guests can view the seals from both above and underneath the exhibit and come face to face with the seals at the cylindrical glass part of the tank

As trial operations continue so do the photos:

Landscaping around the kiddie ride area is almost complete but the little coaster and jumping tower aren't open yet. Notice the Steel Dolphin coaster barn has been covered by banners.





A large viewing area along the blue fence is set up for guests to watch shows taking place in the canal - this will be especially popular once the nighttime water parade begins





Notice on the bridge the transition from the tundra to a warmer climate





New banners before the dolphin show starts





The park's signature volcano stands out from everything else in the area





Inside the volcano the whale sharks and manta rays still haven't arrived but mermaids and a sea turtle has and the restaurant is now open









Entrance to the Cable Car ride on the polar side





The outdoor seating at the Sand Castle Restaurant hasn't been set up yet
