So there's a couple things at play here.

  1. The post is kind of BS since that whole area isn't just SeaWorld's parking lot (see other comments for more info).
  2. The amount of parking spots a business must have is regulated. On average it's about 4 parking spots for every 1000 sqft. SeaWorld Orlando is 200 acres. That's a lot of parking spots they're required to have. I agree it definitely ends up being a TON of parking spots most businesses don't need, but it's not the business's fault.

No matter whose fault it is. It's a monstrosity. Living in the Netherlands, I don't think I've ever come across such a big parking space. It's incredible it's not structured the other way around: there should be a limit to how much parking space you're allowed to have. You can assume there will be a lot of traffic going to such a park, just put up some public transport infrastructure.

Pub lictran sport..? I've never heard of this sport. It must not be played in the United States. Sounds like some euro-trash thing.

On top of that, the orcas have 2 holding thanks and the performance tank, and they take turns getting out into the performance tank for more room to swim. (Only one holding tank is highlighted)

Also, Sea World stopped taking wild orcas a while back, so the adults there were likely born there and couldn't survive in the wild.

So to echo everyone else, this post is wrong, but yeah, fuck cars.
