The Seas tank pod will move to the existing Turtle Talk theater space and that pod will be used as a new queue area that is meant to have some fun interactive displays for guests to play with whilst waiting to see Crush. Make sense?

There is a corridor behind there that WDI were to blas through to get to the old theater. No idea if that has changed.
