[drupason]

damn thats expensive just to see some fishies! they better have some rides or some shit! haha

[Cliff]

well if you go twice then you've basically paid for your season pass...if you go 3 times then you're saving money...just think if your parents come into town and wanna go....or you go with your g/f then a few months later your friends wanna go....you can keep going back for one price

[drupason]

true..it better be good tho

[drupason]

how you been man anyways? hit me up sometime

[Cliff]

lol it should be....it's supposed to be insanely advanced and it will have fish that other aquariums don't have...i forgot what the theme is though...like tenn has some non fish species like otters there and then the ones in florida are all about the deep sea and crazy saltwater fish so i dunno what georgia's gonna have...maybe tanks full of bream bass and catfish

[drupason]

[Cliff]

[Buford®]

Cool. I didn't know that they had one here. I may go. Cool. Thanks for sharing that, Cliffy.

[kilpatty43]

lol me & kristi were walking to the arena last weekend for the game and i saw the aquarium but i ddint know what it was...i was like why the hell does that building have a 'g' with a fish tale...yeah i felt like a jackass

[DrivenMind]

I believe they have 2 Whale Sharks which are the first ever in captivity...
If you know what a Whale Shark is you know how fucking ridiculous it is going to be to see them up close. They're like 40 feet long.

[Cliff]

oh and the Aquarium will have a restraunt and ballroom (nudge nudge next ia halloween party) so that would be awesome cause i assume it will be very nice, expensive and the aquarium glass will be the walls for the restraunt which will be a cool environment....anyways it would make a good anniversary date place

they just got 2 beluga whales also...and yea the whale sharks will be 2 of the first ones ever in captivity and that will be reason enough to go to the aquarium...not many people get to see whale sharks in their lifetime and we will have 2 in our city

[drupason]

actually sounds pretty cool..def gonna check it out...oh and tell arthur to hook me up with some falcons tix!!!

Wolfgang Puck is in charge of the catering and the restraunt at the aquarium


Large viewing windows into the Aquarium’s aquatic habitats are found in the 16,400 sq. ft. Aquarium ballroom, which anchors the Aquarium event space. The ballroom can service 1,100 for a seated dinner and up to 1,800 for a reception. More intimate spaces are available for private gatherings, and the entire Aquarium accommodates up to 10,000 for larger events. WPC will maintain a full-service catering operation, including a kosher kitchen on site.

Chuck Banicki, formerly General Manager of the American Museum of Natural History for Restaurant Associates, will oversee the 250-seat Café Aquaria, located on the Aquarium’s atrium level. According to Banicki, Café Aquaria will have a selection of “Best in Class” café stations featuring local and national favorites and appealing to a broad range of tastes.

“Each food station will have a signature item, kid’s meals will be served in fun Café Aquaria bags and guests will enjoy an open kitchen at each station,” Banicki said.

The food area will include:

The Grill, featuring hamburgers and chicken quesadillas
Naples Pizza and Pasta, with signature pizza and pastas
Buckhead Bread, Buckhead Life Restaurant Group’s spinoff of its popular Buckhead Bread Company concept, featuring soups, salads and sandwiches crafted on fresh baked bread
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream, including a signature “Deepo” cookie honoring the Aquarium’s lovable mascot.

This thing will be definitely worth it. I have been inside of it twice already and it is amazing. I also have passes through my job. Later, QD.

[Cliff]

hmmm i may need to wait until he get's some liquor into him before asking that one...arthur really doesn't like people on his front yard

[drupason]

damn you guys almost talked me into gettin passes...will be able to get into the restaurant without paying admission

The fish, one 15 feet 6 inches, and the other 13 feet total length, were considered suitable for transport to Atlanta, and took an 18-hour ride on a UPS plane to their new home at the Georgia Aquarium. The fish were flown more than 8,000 miles, under the care and supervision of Georgia Aquarium professional staff, on a UPS B-747 freighter from Taipei, Taiwan, through Anchorage to Atlanta.

Drew if you've ever been to the Tennessee Aquarium and seen how awesome that is you should just imagine that one was built what about 15 years ago or more...it's that old and still awesome and this one will be the baddest one and all advanced technology and newly discovered species...and species that are just beginning to be able to be kept in captivity....dude this is def worth the price

[DemonEyez]

i got 2 season passes for 43 bucks each.. : )

[HyPer50]

Season pass? no.... it's an aquarium, not a water park. i plan on going once when it opens... maybe going again sometime if they have something new and cool.

[HyPer50]

on a side note... i want to see a damn blue whale, dont suppose they have any of those in a fish tank do they? lol

[TranceDJ06]

^^ LOL..One of those would probably break the damn tank

[Tbird_guy]

My step dad was one of the big wigs in charge of building that thing, I am geeting to go b4 it opens to the public...I have seen pictures from the inside (tanks b4 fish and such) it looks awesome, and I cannot wait for it. I will definately buy the seasons pass, if nothing else it will be good to go and clear y head if needed, ya know.

[Kevykev]

guess me an my girl WON't begoing to Gatlinberg Ripley's Aquarium anymore.

[Ruiner]

oh and annual pass gets you in 2 days before the grand opening and a full years entry after the day you buy the pass

Man, I'm all over that. I can't wait to take my g/f to eat at the nice restaurant! :) The atmosphere will be incredible. :)

[Kristi]

i'm going to buy a year pass. i love aquariums!

[Shawna]

my bf and I are planning on it

[Cliff]

the atmosphere at a Wolfgang Puck restraunt with an aquarium as a wall will definately be incredible....and a season pass also gets you 20% off your food at the aquarium food court and gift centers....

[smiley723]

It is definately sounding more and more intreging. I will probably break down and buy a pass.

[AWD OWNZ U]

the atmosphere at a Wolfgang Puck restraunt with an aquarium as a wall will definately be incredible....

Ya it will, sounds pretty awesome. I dunno if I will get a season pass, but I definitely want to go once it opens. I've heard so much about the thing already, hopefully it's not over hyped.

[quickdodge®]

I doubt it will be. I love the Tennesse Aquarium in Chattanooga. This is the largest in the world and should be an awesome thing to be a part of. Later, QD.

I dunno any of your crazy south aquariums but I love the Monterey Bay aquarium so it should be all good. For some reason I love aquariums but have a hard time with zoos, go figure.

[quickdodge®]

I dunno any of your crazy south aquariums

I don't know anything about that. Later, QD.

[xechno]

fuck that shit is expensive

[Kristi]

i can't wait to go

[quickdodge®]

fuck that shit is expensive

You're joking, right? Later, QD.

[Cliff]

lol i don't think he is

[quickdodge®]

With what you get, it's a much better price than Six Flags. If you want mediocre, go to Six Flags and go to their Petting Zoo. Later, QD.

[quickdodge®]

In fact here we go:

Go to Stone Mountain and do any oneattraction: $15/day $41/year
Go to Georgia Aquarium: $22/day $59/year

The math here tells me that the latter would be a much better value. Later, QD.

[Ruiner]

fuck that shit is expensive

You're kidding, right?

[quickdodge®]

You're joking, right? Later, QD.

Lolol. Ruiner. Later, QD.

[Ruiner]

Lolol. Ruiner. Later, QD.

Don't make fun of me! Later, Ruiner.

[TranceDJ06]

No..what he meant is..that he posted the same exact thing as you Earlier.
..I think

[Ruiner]

Oh, I know what he meant. He and I share a weird sense of humor. :) It comes with old age...

[quickdodge®]

Lolol. Later, Rui...err, I mean QD.

[Ruiner]

Lolol. Later, Rui...err, I mean QD.

Exactly. :)

[Fuster_Cluck]

I just picked up a pass for my daughter for the 10th of Dec. I bought an annual pass for myself (she lives in Sav) :bigok:

[collins]

[4dmin]
