We visited the newest attraction at the Manila Ocean Park on a Palm Sunday March 28, 2010. Reports say that the attraction was recently launched on March 26, 2010 so lucky us.

 

Acquatica is a spectacular light and water show blended with pyrotechnical works and choreographed stage play. It tells a simple, inspiring story backed up by captivating music and dramatic multi-media effects of pyrotechnics, synchronized water jets that squirt water 20 to 40 meters high, and bursts of flame.

 

It is similar to Singapore's musical fountain show in Sentosa Island and IMHO, I can say that Acquatica is more innovative in terms of effects because the show incorporates fireworks and flames not seen in the musical fountain show in Sentosa !

 

It is located just in front of the entrance of the Manila Ocean Park. Prices is P300 on weekends, P250 on weekdays or you can avail of a discount price of P500 which includes two attraction - The Oceanarium and the Maiden of the Sea show in Acquatica. Show starts 6:30pm, 7:30pm and 8:30pm daily. Best for family fun and entertainment this summer !

 

Aquatica is no where near "Songs of the Sea" of Sentosa. "Songs of the Sea" of Sentosa also has fireworks, flames, water fountain, lasers, holographic image (by use of the fountain wall) but is better executed. And the story of "Songs of the Sea" is more easier to understand for the kids. I feel that the story of the "Acquatica" is too heavy instead of being light and fun.

 

They even named it "Maiden of the Sea" and has a similar princess which the "Songs of the Sea" also has (a princess that appears on the fountain wall.

 

Also in Acquatica's "Maiden of the Sea" the border of the hologram is visible. So it is like watching a projection into the water. Unlike in Sentosa, the border is seemless making it appear like it trully is a hologram.

 

Of course, Acquatica's "Maiden of the Sea" is also a good experience. But again, IMO, it is no way near Sentosa's "Songs of the Sea".
