That's a lot of walking from the parking lot to seaworld, maybe they sould add some sort of transport that stops on pre-designated spots, and goes on a schedule around the parking lot, so folks could have an easier time getting to and from their cars

And then, since you already have the transportation sorted, they could instead have it go to pre-designated spots in the surrounding city to pick up people before they get to the parking lot!

Why don't they build multi-floor parking lots? Do they like walking a kilometer instead of walking 50 meters and going up/down one flight of stairs? Do they like the aesthetic of concrete plain or something?

This is the San Diego park and they don't own the land, the city does so everything has to be approved by the city and the coastal commission. I doubt they're in a financial situation to make an expansion big enough to warrant that.

In regards to the orca enclosure it's about 6 million gallons and uses ocean water from Mission Bay that is filtered, used in the exhibit, and then filtered again before being returned to the bay. It would be impossible to fill and filter something the size of the parking lot at the depth needed for the orcas.

The San Diego park is the smallest one they have and has generally been more of a traditional aquarium/zoo compared to the other parks although its gotten more coasters in recent years.

TheFrenchSavage@reddit

Also the right part of the outlined area is actually a city park not part of the parking lot.

Well, if your city park looks like a parking lot, you kinda deserve it.

It would be impossible to fill and filter something the size of the parking lot at the depth needed for the orcas.

Really? How about dig a big hole and put a bunch of oysters in there?

[-]

eossfounder@reddit

If it was full of oysters there'd be no room for orcas.

[-]

Lucas_2234@reddit

If it's technologically impossible to keep orcas in a halfway decent sized enclosure, maybe we shouldn't have them in the zoo?

[-]

carizzz@reddit

Sorry but the largest pool there is the show pool which is roughly 2 million gallons. Also fesh water does not make it okay.

Moo_Rhy@reddit

More than any other building?

[-]

Consistent-Throat130@reddit

I highly suspect they're built to different structural standards. Of all the differences that come to mind:

Being open they probably don't need to face anywhere near the same level of lateral wind force; vs an enclosed structure of similar size.

That alone could make the difference in a building's resistance to the lateral forces experienced in a quake.

Presumably the the age of the park and land they have to work with.

Disney World and Seaworld have a shit ton of land, so the open parking lot isn't a waste. Universal not so much so they have a crap load of garages (they also have a mall area that locals actually use).

In Disney's case they bought the land when Orlando was a swamp, and there are 100s of acres that are basically a wildlife preserve that they may never use. So a giant parking lot makes sense over garages.

[-]

kaspa181@reddit

I don't understand your reasoning; "[they have a lot of space] therefore [it's not a waste]". The hell?! How is it not a waste? How does it follows from the argument to the conclusion?

It's a waste of client's time and energy, it's a waste of aesthetic atmosphere around your attraction, it's a waste of logistical traffic (as people take more time going from/to their cars). I guess it's cheaper for the park, so that's what you mean by "makes sense"?

[-]

acart005@reddit

Exactly what I mean, yea. They already bought it and it works.

Also garages bottleneck so the logistics aren't that black and white, and in Disney's case they have doen studies on 'approaching the castle' hyping you up for your day at the park. So there are pros and cons though in general I'd agree more usable park space > parking lot.

[-]

kaspa181@reddit

Interesting, I didn't even think about approach anticipation.

Absolutely it's not black and white, agreed.

[-]

Yellowdog727@reddit

Because we don't properly incentivize efficient use of land through.

We should be taxing the land the parking is on based on the value of the land and not the cumulative value of the property.

sorryiamnotoriginal@reddit

Not that I disagree about the situation sucking for the animals but people who make posts like this have 0 understanding of the cost/efforts that go into maintaining that small green dot. Maintenance for larger sea life in particular can get pretty egregious. Trying to maintain an enclosure anywhere remotely near the size they are suggesting would be a Herculean undertaking.

The closest you get are sea pen sanctuaries but those also run into a lot of problems because there is much less you can actually control about the environment.

God forbid they built a parking structure. Or, you know, public transport.

undreamedgore@reddit

Parking structures are a hell of a lot more expensive to build. Public transport is basically bait for homeless and mentally ill people. Especially out in California which is like their Mecca. Plus it's expenisve for the taxpayer, and inconvenient for most people.

ProblemEfficient6502@reddit

Pacific Electric Railway attempted to build a railroad through Los Angeles back in the 40s. The automotive and tire companies in the area bought them out, then built a freeway along the path it would've taken. The plot of Who Framed Roger Rabbit is based on it.

San Diego’s public transport is almost nonexistent. Until they build an actual suitable public transport system, we need big parking lots.

There is a good video on YouTube from climate town if you want to learn more about American parking lots. There's not really a standard for how they are built and the size they are. Apparently, sim city also tried to incorporate realistic parking lot needs and it turns out it makes the city ugly and everything gets exponentially more expensive so they scrapped it.

I can't imagine being a landmonkey who's willing to talk shit on something bigger, stronger, smarter, more socially capable, and has less body fat% than yourself.

Dolphins and Orcas figured out language, tool use, and pack hunting way before humans did and the only thing keeping you out of their cage is them not having thumbs.
