Atlantis @ Sea World San Diego: A Mistake?

Gerry Braun, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, wrote an interesting piece about whether or not Journey to Atlantis really should have been approved for Sea World San Diego.

If you remember back it was a huge deal to get the ride approved because of it's height and the park's location on the coastline.

In the end the author seems not too pleased that the ride exists, but his writing style is what intrigued me. Plus living so close to Dorney and watching the years of bickering over new rides with the locals always makes this subject jump out at me.

Add to all this the fact that rumors are swirling that the parks wants another ride in the next few years, well, maybe this article is more timely than it would appear on the surface.
