SeaWorld officially announced plans to build a water park on May 24, 2011. According to the park president, SeaWorld San Antonio would become a multi-day experience. In early 2011, rumors speculated about Aquatica coming to SeaWorld San Antonio in the future. The park was an immediate success, reaching its opening-year attendance goal in just six months. In its debut year, the park hosted approximately 950,000 guests, making it the fourth-most visited water park in the United States and eighth-most visited in the world. On March 1, 2008, the park opened to guests for the first time, with the official grand opening held on April 4, 2008. Previews for employees and holders of park annual passes were held in February. Construction continued in earnest throughout 2007 and into early 2008. It was expected the 59-acre (24 ha) park would cost US$50 million to build. On March 5, 2007, SeaWorld held a press conference officially announcing Aquatica. The announcement stated that it would be a 'natural' park and revealed the park's iconic Dolphin Plunge water slides. SeaWorld Orlando originally announced plans to build a water park on July 15, 2005.
