Yesterday, April 4th, was the official grand opening of the water park, Aquatica. In celebration of this event, a ceremony was held inside the park and broadcast live on the web. If you missed it, they’ve made the video available on the Worlds of Discovery website.

Be patient through the middle-parts of the video, as the mayor has some troubles with his microphone. The last 4-5 minutes of the video show views from around the park. Click here to watch!
