Park president Terry Prather introduced details on Tuesday of a new sea turtle habitat featuring a domed 360-degree, 3-D movie experience. At SeaWorld's companion park, Discovery Cove, a new "Freshwater Oasis" will allow guests to get face-to-face with Asian otters and marmosets under a rainforest canopy of trees.

Those two attractions are scheduled to open sometime next spring.

In spring 2013, SeaWorld will open new penguin habitat around an immersive Antarctica theme. Prather said the penguin area is the park's largest single expansion project since its opening in 1973.

The new attractions are unique to the Orlando park and are not planned for SeaWorld parks in San Antonio and San Diego.
