What's Going On at SWO?

Discovery Cove Expansion:

Work on an expansion of the Discovery Cove park has begun a few weeks ago. It is unknown what it will be, but it is said to open in 2011.

Clydesdale Hamlet:

A couple of months ago, Behind the Thrills found a crane behind the old Clydesdale Hamlet at SeaWorld. Later on, the crane was reported to be gone.

As of April 12th, another update was posted showing a new bird show in the old Hamlet. But as of last week, the show seemed to be closed, and the Hamlet was completely shut down.

There is also this quote from Yaytez at Behind the Thrills:

The rumor that is strong is that this is going to simply be a new path to where the new attraction will be, however.....with that much area and that much of a drop, it's foolish to think that it's simply going to be a path and shops. BGW hasn't announced anything, possibly because of the fact of they were just getting ready to be sold when the announcement came that Wolf was closing. In the event of something like that, projects tend to get pushed back. In the case of Blackstone, it seems like they want nothing but growth and those plans, as well as the coaster in Tampa have been approved...as well as something coming to SWO in 2012...yes, there is something coming.


This should be pretty interesting to look at. What is happening in this area? It seems unknown right now, but popular rumors are stating that a new dark ride may go up in that area. IMO, a dark ride would be great for SeaWorld.

Here's basically what this rumored dark ride will take over (and what I think they should do):
