In this tidal pool habitat SeaWorld guests can see and touch starfish anemone and more.

Starfishes are neat but anemones are such a bizarre creatures.  If you have ever wanted to pet one you can here.  I have to wonder if many of the crazy creatures that Dr. Seuss came up for his books came from looking at creatures like this in a tidal pool.

Next to the tidal pool is SeaWorld's newest addition, the appropriately named Tidal Twister.

Tidal Twister is a Skywarp Horizon coaster by the twisted minds at Skyline Attractions.

The cars are held upright so guests can enter and exit the train.  Then when it is time to go the cars tilt down into the running position.

The reason the cars tilt down to go is that Tidal Twister has a very compact figure 8 layout and there is no level track anywhere on the rides 320 feet of track.
